i must admit it's not very rational
but can be funny when i give u the answers 
u must write the first thing that comes 2 your mind...
1. You walk a path. How does it look like and what do you feel?
2. You find a stick. What do you do with it?
3. You find a key on the path. How does it look like and what do you do?
4. There's a stump on your way. What do you do?
5. You find a building by the path. How does it look like and what do you feel?
6. You find the water. What's the source of it (ie. a lke, river...) and what do you do?
7. There's a wall cross the path. How does it look like, what do you feel and what is behind it?
i know this test from my sociology professor- he wanted to amuse us during a quite boring lecture

it seems like the path that goes behind my house to my secret grove that isn't particulary special but I like it, it feels good.
2.I pick it up and spin it in a pinwheel.
3.it is rusty and old, I pick it up and put it in my pocket
4.I look at it to see if their is any sign of something living inside of it.
5.What is this building doing here? I am highly disturbed by it's presence it wasn't here before.
6.It is from a spring, I walk around it I don't want to ruin my shoes.
7.I am now feeling very uneasy by strange things appearing along my path, I can't possibly imagine what this wall looks like, I suspect the rest of the path is behind it but I continue to keep walking to see what other wacky things materialize along the way.

1)It's a dirt track stretching into the distance, with grass on either side. I feel curious about what lies ahead.
2)I pick up the stick and use it as a walking stick, occasionally spinning it like a staff when I feel bored.
3)The key is large and old, made of iron. It is not rusty. I pick it up.
4)Poke it with the stick to see if its rotten, then walk round it.
5)It's an old cottage with a thatched roof and chimney with smoke coming out, two storeys high. I feel curious.
6)It's a large river, with a very strong current, and it's deep. I sit by it for a while and listen to the sound of the running water, then I cross it by a stone bridge.
7)It's a large brick wall, covered with ivy. I feel unduanted and ready to climb it. Behind the wall is a beautiful sunset

1. You walk a path. How does it look like and what do you feel? it's the path outside my house and I feel relaxed
2. You find a stick. What do you do with it? pick it up and start twirling as if it's my firestaff
3. You find a key on the path. How does it look like and what do you do?it's my house keys
4. There's a stump on your way. What do you do? jump over it
5. You find a building by the path. How does it look like and what do you feel? One of the twin towers, and I feel sad
6. You find the water. What's the source of it (ie. a lke, river...) and what do you do? lake, i walk into it a little bit and skim rocks
7. There's a wall cross the path. How does it look like, what do you feel and what is behind it. It's a huge concrete wall with dints in it (steps) I climb it and I can see 400 people firetwirling in the night.

It's a path through the woods. I like it there.
I pick up the stick and throw it as far as I can down the path.
The key is big and old fashioned. I pick it up and look at it.
I stand on the tree stump and then I jump down.
The building is a ruined old house, it looks empty andI feel excited and a little nervous cos I'm going to get in.
The water is a river, I throw stones in, and I watch it, and stuff. I hang aroud there for a while, I like it.
The wall is small and overgrown, it has plants growing out of it. I feel a bit puzzled, I wonder why it is there. Behind it the path carries on.
What's the right answers?
There better be right answers.

It's a dirt path, grass lined
I throw the stick ahead of me
It's a skeleton key, I pocket it
Step over the stump
Small brick, cubical building
small babbling creek, step over it
It's an uneven dirt wall, roots poking out of it, grass along the top. More path is on the other side...

1 You walk a path. How does it look like and what do you feel?- Windy with trees,worried about bears
2. You find a stick. What do you do with it? Use it to walk with
3. You find a key on the path. How does it look like and what do you do? Brass and shiny, put it in my pocket
4. There's a stump on your way. What do you do? Step on it and jump off it
5. You find a building by the path. How does it look like and what do you feel? Small brick cottage, wonder what its like inside
6. You find the water. What's the source of it (ie. a lke, river...) and what do you do? The source is a small stream, remove shoes sand socks and dip feet in
7. There's a wall cross the path. How does it look like, what do you feel and what is behind it? It looks old and broken, wonder what it used t be when it was all there, behind it is a long drop

It’s quite a narrow, white pebbly flat path, pretty windy, but lots of pretty bushes and trees flowers next to it, and flowing over it. The sun is shining, beautiful blue sky and it feels like a good day for a walk. I am happy and content. The flowers smell good.
I find a stick. I pick it up and twirl with it while I continue to walk down the path, aimlessly twoddling along…now spinning a stick. At least till I get tired of that, then I continue to walk admiring the surroundings.
The key is slightly buried in the path, I only noticed it because it was glinting in the sunlight. It’s a golden key, nothing really special about it, but I dig it out the ground and pick it up, then pocket it, a trinket of my travels.
Since I am never looking where I am going, and often off in my own world I would fall over the stump. Curse, think of my clutsy nature, and continue on my way. I would probably leave the stick that I had picked up at this point. Unless it was an exceptionally good twirling stick then I might keep it.
*disclaimer* when I first read this bit, I read it as you find a building in your path –
My first reaction was, who the heck put that there. It’s a tall grey ugly block building. I find it annoying that such a monstrosity is in such a nice place.
I find a waterfall, flowing into a river. It’s a beautiful day, so I go for a shower on the rocky ledge half way up the waterfall. The water is cool and refreshing.
The wall is a red brick wall. It looks odd – but given I had just seen a random building in my way I accept it, I am annoyed that its there, but it’s tall enough that I can run, and jump to get enough grip to clamber over it. I stand on top of the wall and look out. On the other side is a beautiful green rolling meadow full of trees and wonderful spring flowers, and butterflys. I want to share it with everyone….next thing you know ‘zap’ they are all there time for a party I think

It's a dirt path through some woods, I'm interested and look around.
I pick up the stick and hold it in my left hand
It's brass and about 3 inches long. I pick it up and hold it in my left hand.
I walk around the stump.
It's like a deserted cottage made of large grey blocks, they're crumbling. There's no roof. I'm interested and wonder who lived there.
It's a small stream, I jump over it.
It's about 2 foot tall, make of crumbling red bricks and has moss on it. It's just a wall, there's no emotion to it. The rest of the path is on the other side.

first may i say nice advatar dot. she is one of my faves
1- its a country lane at dusk, trees either side of me and the path is a sandy colour with loose bits of gravel, there is a ditch at each side of the path but its all grassy with wild flowers growing around so you can not really notice until you catch a reflection of the sky in the water.
2- i keep the stick
3- a really old fancy key with a round 'head' that has engravings on, i keep that aswell
4- think "Oh a stump" look at it and walk on
5- its an old run down farm house with dog roses and brambles growing around, the house has lots of ivy and a tree growing out of the broken roof i stare at it imagining what it could look like if i renovated it and imagine the kids playing in the local fields (I want to move in and live there)
6-its a trickling brook that is going into the ditch, i look at it and listen to the babbling sounds its making and i want to dip my feet in but don't
7-Its a crunbling sand stone wall with moss growing on it and the odd bug... i think "What an odd place to put a wall" it doesn't look safe to sit on and its not very big so i step over it, on the other side is the rest of the path
By the way i actaully have a reacuring dream where i am walking down this path and see the house but the path has 3 paths going off from it at like a cross roads

your dream is quite interesting, as it can be somehow connected with the meaning of that questions...u'll see what i mean when i put the answers somewhere (im just wondering where to place them so that people could still make this test without knowing them...hmm, any suggestions?)
Lillie Frog, there's no "right answers"- every answer is correct, it just depends on how YOU see the path

the path is a worn dirt path, the frost makes a slight cracking sound under foot. The dense evergreen trees eather side of the path coated in the frozen morning due like their incrusted with thousends of tiny little dimonds.
Although its cold its exilirating.
The stick is frosty covered. far too pretty to pick up
The key i pick up its brass with celtic knotwork i pop it in my pocket and continue
The stump looks old and hollow on the inside, a small frozen pool lines the bottom i peer inside as i walk around
A small cottedge made from grey cobble stones with green moss lining the cracks sits just off the path way, a small veg garden sits to the left, peering into the window, i see two rooms, a open fire place with cooking tools hanging over the top willed with modest wooden furniture a large warm rug sits underfoot in the first room, the second a large 4 poster bed, dominates the small bedroom the wood intricateley carved with magical animals and patterns. The celings sit farly low in both rooms.
The roof is thached
I try the key in the lock and it turns with a clank, i dont enter coz its not my house but leave the key on the door step
A large gushing river Crashes over large rocks that jut out of the water, in the calm of the banks small pools have a small film of ice covered, A great tree has fallen over the river, i cross the river over the slippery tree carefully.
Their is a small coble wall fallen down in places, i hop over the top and continue my journey

There ought to be right answers. I like right answers.
(which probably says more about me than the test does)

1. Its a dirt path that has been beaten down hard by something heavy,
I am curious to what this thing was.
2. I pick up this long thin stick and start to twirl it.
3. I pick up the key and see that it has two pointy hills on the bottom at the beginging of the key and two round hills at the end of the top part, meaning that it must be to a very speacial door.
4. I hop on top of the stump while twirling my stick, hop of and hit it with my stick, which brakes it.
5. It is a square, not overly tall building, that looks like a store house of some sort. Being curious I test the key to the door and find that it is not the one.
6. Its a well without a bucket or rope, I drop a rock down it to see how deep it is.
7. It is a wall made of a single, huge, omnious black tree, I feel disapointed that I can not finish the path and find what beat the path down, and who the key belonged to.

1. You walk a path. How does it look like and what do you feel?
It's a dirt/gravel path in a pleasant green woods. I feel peaceful.
2. You find a stick. What do you do with it?
I pick it up and wave it around, sword-style, at the air in front of me.
3. You find a key on the path. How does it look like and what do you do?
It looks like a rusted housekey, quite ordinary with a triangular head. I pick it up, figure that I'll never figure out what door it opens or whose it was that I'd better just throw it away.
4. There's a stump on your way. What do you do?
I either have a seat or I walk around it.
5. You find a building by the path. How does it look like and what do you feel?
It's a wood shed with empty windows and a concrete floor. The inside is dirty, but completely empty. I feel confused and wonder who built it and for what purpose.
6. You find the water. What's the source of it (ie. a lke, river...) and what do you do?
It's a large wide river. I pick up a stone on the riverbank and skip it. Well, I try to, butI suck at skipping stones, so I only skip every third try or so.
7. There's a wall cross the path. How does it look like, what do you feel and what is behind it?
It's a stone wall. It's old and mossy. And I wonder who the hell decided to 1) build a path right into a wall or 2) build a wall across a path. I can see over the wall, though and there is just more path on the other side.
Oh, and sharks with "lasers" on their foreheads.

hmm...well i took to the 'what do you feel?' question a little differently!! i took it to mean the touch kind of feel!!
ah well...here goes anyway!
1. it's a dirt path, i feel the dirt under my feet
2. poke something
3. it's old, i add it to my collection of old keys
4. stand on it, then wonder if tiny has been here first & jump off very quickly
5. it's a big city office building that doesn't really belong on a dirt path, i feel the little old picket fence out the front of this out of place building
6. it's a stream, i skim a pebble across it
7. small stone wall, i feel the stones, and there's more path behind it!
did i pass??

1. The path is in open countryside, not paved, it's a track where people have walked for many centuries.
2. The stick is perfect to use as a staff so I pick it up and walk with it.
3. The key is an old-fashined, dark metal key. I put it in my pocket - fantasy keys always opens omethng further along the journey ;-)
4. I'm a botanist so I examine the stump to see if there are any interesting fungi growing on it, then step over and continue on my way.
5. Buildings? Not on my path there isn't.
6. There is a small, clear stream running over rocks which arises further up on the hillside in a green, boggy place surrounded by ferns and mosses. I paddle in teh stream (I can't resist doing this in real life which is one of the reasons I like to walk in sandals for much of the year).
7. The wall is a drystone wall, very old and partly fallen down. Behind it is a sheltered spot where I sit down and enjoy the view.

The path is winding thru a wood, the trees and bushes come close to the path and there's lots of smaller tracks running thru which I sometimes follow. It's peacful and smells nice after the rain, I feel happy and glad to be there.
I pick the stick up - at first it was a smallish one like you'd throw for a dog - but I don't have a dog so it became longer and I'll take it home and varnish it to use as a walking stick next time i come here.
The key is old, made of iron, but not really rusty, it feels warm in my hand, it's about 4" long. I pick it up and keep turning it in my hand.
I sit on the stump for a while, breathing in the fresh air, then climb on it, jump off and carry on my way.
The building is old and not derelict but needs some TLC, it's stone, a woodcutters cottage or something - just a few rooms. I want to live in it, it looks homely and cosy - the key probably fits the door, but I don't try it.
A stream is rushing thru', tumbling over stones and rocks and fallen trees - I can't resist paddling and the cool water feels good on my feet and legs, I want to swim but decide against it because it's too cold and too far from home to get dry - I could go back to the cottage but i won't cos it'd be imposing.
The wall is low, just above knee height, it's an old dry-stone wall that's fallen and got grass growing in the middle of it. I feel like it's the end of the wood and I can see the otherside it opens out into a meadow and fields and sunshine. I've enjoyed the walk in the wood, but I stand on the wall, then jump off and carry on.
