House personality tests (very precise and simple, with photos)

[IceBlock]

Recently I got as a gift a very interesting personality book, full of information and tests. One of the tests, the most interesting one, is called "House Personality Test". It's small book with images 8 pictures inside. It tells you to choose the picture that you feel more comfortable with. Well, for your convenience, I took pictures of all eight houses, and translated the texts to English (actually, there will be errors! If any of the descriptions are so awfully translated that understanding is not possible, tell me and I will try to translate it again using other words).







Anyway, here we go. The test tells you, as instructions, exactly this:


"Who are you? Choose the house you would feel the most comfortable. Read on the back of the chosen house what your choice reveals about you."


House #1

House #2

House #3

House #4

House #5

House #6

House #7

House #8

Analyzed all the houses? Already chose yours? Don't peek the answers, because the game kind of loses it's fun. Choose one house that you feel more comfortable with and check its matching description!










House #1

This choice suggests a love for solitude, the dream os isolation as some kind of happiness, as you remember or imagine a childhood in a cozy and safe home. To dream of this kind of place is important to you, but you know that there's something unreal in this fairy tale house, with everything so comfortable and safe. You might consider, every once in a while, the idea of escaping to such a sweet shack: there's one side in your personality that seeks to run away from the tough reality and complications from real life. But you know that, at best, this is a temporary reclusion. There's a road to the gate, and beyond it another road that takes to other parts of the world. You can be happy in your loneliness, but you need the company from others; and there are things that must be done on the world out there.

House #2

You like the idea of being safe behind strong walls and you know clearly that you are a complex person. You have a personality prone to introversion, and being highly individualistic and original, you distrust the influence of others, as they might want to change you or try to make you more similar to them. You like being alone, but as you keep your independence in such a strong way, you may be privating yourself from new experiences. Sometimes, this means that the problemas are not solved, and you usually keep repeating old patterns of behaviour of yours. Your fortress can preserve your integrity, but sometimes ir restrains your imagination and your freedom of working in the company of others. These caged, narrow windows don't let a lot of light in, and you are not able to see much through them.

House #3

This house suggests that you have an interesting and very complex personality. You have strong convictions and like to participate of world issues. There's a part in you, however, that don't trust in your own ideas and in your way of reacting to things. Seeing this as a weakness, you are inclined to project an image of a strong and determined person. This contradiction between the external appearance and the internal reality can make you be perceived as inflexible, when in reality your thoughts and feelings are a lot more subtle and interesting. The world needs people like you, creative and brave, ready to take a position. You like to do things with precision and with principles. Don't be afraid to show your true complexity: she will make you an even stronger person.

House #4

You like to feel comfortable in the world, feel that things are, or could be, safe and stable. When you are in a relationship or work, and established a routine, you like to keep it this way. You avoid complications and interruptions, as you are prone to maximize risks in projected situations, and opt a relaxed life. You have a charming, but expansive personality, and when things go well you are a great company, easy to live with. But things get hard for you when you are challenged by other people, or by happenings, or even when or way of doing things is interrupted. Live according to comfortable habits might take you to inflexibility and even compliance. Your house is great for live, but it's a good idea to come down the steps, get to the street, take risks, and see hoe people live in other houses.

House #5

How is it up there in the sixth floor? The choice of living there indicates a paradox in the core of your personality. You love the agitated world and the diversity of people that lives in it. You are a social being, with a strong social conscience, and with an extroverted willingness of become involved with reality. On the other hand, you might be unsure of your place in the world, feeling a little dissociated, and prefering to be in your own physical and psychic space. These contradictions create identity problems: you are an extrovert or introvert? Sometimes you feel like you are an actor, and the whole world a stage: one time you play this character, then that other character, leading to doubts about who you really are. Well, you are what you are! Your personality have several different aspects, you are more than just one person. So go out there, in the streets, and be happy with what you really are: a complicated, contraditory and interesting person.

House #6

What a fabulous house, the one you live! You have a expansive personality, full of ambitions and you prize safety. To have such a fearless and sincere personality gives you a definitive advantage over things: it means you have the guts to get along in any environment. People like your company because of your extroverted capacity of presenting yourself in a controlled, formal, educated and gentle way. Your cool also give confidence to others. Your inclination of being excessively educated all the time make that all occasions become special. On the other hand, however, the world will not always match your expectations. Your desire for things to be orderly and beautiful and that interactions are ruled by cortesy and kindness does not agree with great part of confusing reality that exists beyond this nice doors. And you can't always live inside this adorable house and next to these beautiful gardens.

House #7

There's something in your personality that you don't show to others; there's something deep down you keep as a secret. Just some of your closest friends can go down the steps to the basement, and they feel privileged for that, because such a recluse personality like yours is deeply intriguing. You know, however, that this trace in your personality that others find so fancy in your nature is simply a little of introverted insecurity, and a timidity that you now always want to admit. You may have other secrets: things not even your friends could imagine! All of that gives you an aura of seduction, and you enjoy the attraction this creates, even knowing that all of that won't maybe be more than illusion, and that this is not actually what you really want. These complications provides your personality a true advantage: you feel the tension, and your friends too. But don't spend all your time in the basement: it won't hurt to come out and breath a fresh air once in a while.

House #8

You like uncommon and unpredictable experiences. Your personality might be biased to introversion, but this don't mean you don't have a sense of adventure. You are an idealist and usually let go of things easily. This means that a lot of times you assume the enemy's attitude, take your withdraw yourself to somewhere safe and challenge the world to do the worst. But go up that ladder to the suspended shack can be some way to run away from responsibility. This is not a moral question, this is a question of keeping the integrity of your complicated "me". Withdraw yourself from things just because they don't always go the way you desire could take you to anxiety and solitude. It's nice up there, with the fire burning and the little balcony with a wide view, but you can't live there all the time. Enjoy the loneliness and the view, but come down and deal with things the way they are. A house up high is no reason to feel superior.

I chose house 1. I agree with the description for me

 

[ndovjtjcaqidthi]

House 7.

 

[Alea_iacta_est]

House 6. (Because it looks like Versailles, and that's awesome)

 

[á´…eparted]

I chose 3, and it quite fits. Then I read the others, several of them also fit quite well. Conclusion? Lots of forer effect.

It may be. But each house have key particularities, which differs one from another. It's true that 3 or 4 houses describes it's readers as "complex" or "uncommon", but only one of them declares something like "You like to do things with precision and with principles." and not everyone acts like that. Anyone can easily fit in all houses, but giving it a closer look to the description and for yourself, you will sort out a maximum of 2 or 3 houses truly similar to yourself.

 

[Honor]

4

 

[garbage]

1. I read some of the others' descriptions but it fits best.

 

[Firebird 8118]

House #1

 

[WhoCares]

House # 2, The Shoe fits.

NB - secretly disappointed this has nothing to do with House, the TV series.

 

[Freesia]

House 7

 

[Honor]

what's the name of the book?

 

[citizen cane]

4, and it fits, more or less.

I agree. I chose 3, which is by far the best fit. I identify with some of 1 and 2, but not as much. It reminded me a bit of enneagram, where we have a best fit type but also wings and trifixes that influence our motivations and outlook. It might even make sense to view one's preference as some superposition of all 8, each with a weighting factor. The ones we don't identify much at all with will be weighted very low.

 

[Showbread]

I really like 6... I've always loved big fancy houses.

 

[five sounds]

I like house 2 best. I wish it were smaller.

The description? Meh.

I like the illustration style though.

 

[chubber]

House #3 won over House #8

I would say House #3 (practical and everyday use) fits me better than House #8 (my childhood dreams).

 

[Such Irony]

I chose #1

 

[skylights]

#4 just barely squeaked by #6 Accurate.

 

[Sunny Ghost]

I liked house #1, 3, 4, and 5.

Freaky, man!

I do think that where a person dream's of living can tell you a lot about a person.
