Welcome to the Psych-Oh!-Really? ~ Postcard Quiz swap!

This is not a swap to determine if we are psycho's or insane! This swap is a fun way to learn a little more about ourselves and our partners. I was first introduced to it while attending to a University, where at the time I majored in Psychology, and the Professor invited us to participate in experimenting with this short personal quiz. Now, this quiz can be found on the internet, but I ask in the spirit of fun and learning greater personal insight, please refrain from seeking out any spoilers! ~ After all, the only real person you will be cheating, is… yourself! - And that WILL affect your psyche!

After the last day to sign up, I will reveal the short quiz instructions in the comment section below. There will be four categories in which you will choose your postcards. We will pick two, one for each of our partners.

❀ The p.c.'s can be the same or different, it is senders choice, as long as they represent the answer you will pick within the four categories.

❀ Then we will write on the two postcards, the name of the swap title and our personal S.B. alias / avatar name at the top left of the postcard.

❀ Date the postcard.

❀ Then write the numbers 1-4 to the far left, allowing plenty of room to write four words after each of the numbers. Be sure to space the #'s out well, so you have enough room to write the category word, that is then followed by three descriptive words.

❀ Sign your postcard and mail it to your partner with the appropriate postage within the swap time-frame.

So it's pick a p.c. ~ Add Four Numbers. ~ List Four Words, beside each number. ~ That's only 16 words total! ~ It's pretty easy.

Well, that might be the easy part, choosing your categories and then describing them in only three words, may be a bit more challenging for you. Some words may be easier than others. Some answers may come to you right away and some may take a while for you to think about. That's why I'm allowing for a couple of weeks to send these out. After I reveal the subjects for the four categories, you will write the name of the subject, three of them you get to choose, then write three adjectives or descriptive words about the subject beside the first word. ~ It's simple. ☺

After the last day to mail out your p.c.'s and everyone has marked that they have done so, I will come back and reveal the significance of the categories and what they represent in your life, in the comments section of this swap. So then, at least three people in this world of ours (You and your two Partners), will know a little more in depth insight into who you are, what you think and feel about some things in life. Some answers can be pretty funny, some scary and some very similar to others. This is meant to be light-hearted and taken in a spirit of fun. There are now several variations of this quiz out there, but I am going to do my best to share with you how I remember it, way back when (Now, I'm not going to reveal just how many years ago that really was! :-)… back in the day, that I was attending UTA. ~ lol.


Newbie Friendly Swap ~ with a well filled out profile, meaning a lot more words than a couple of sentences! If you have difficulty doing so, please personal message (p.m.) me and I will do my best to assist you. Otherwise, you will be excused from this swap. I will go through the members to remove anyone not qualified before assigning partners. Anyone with recent 1's or 3's, without a detailed p.m. to me about their situation and wiliness to BE WithIn Integrity, will also be excused from this swap. If you have any issues with someone, please send me a personal message and refrain from adding such comments below. Should anyone actually flake, I may be able to Angel, only after the appropriate course of action has been applied, such as communication with a p.m. and a rating of One (1) has been given to your partner. Anyone, who would like to Angel, if need be, please p.m. me about it. ~ Thank you.

Please give a rating of Five (5), if your partner mailed the postcard to you within the swap time-frame and followed the swap requirements listed above on the postcard, regardless if you agree with their word choices. After all, in order to stay afloat in this world of ours, we are all a little nuts! ☺

Thank you.

~ Cari

@nolalola is in here with 2 late swaps on dash, fyi.

CariPeace 07/ 4/2015 #

@user2637 I see no indication of that and as I mentioned in the swap description...'If you have any issues with someone, please send me a personal message and refrain from adding such comments below.'

CariPeace 07/ 5/2015 #

I appreciate the wonderful person who took the time to send me a p.m. about the comments above, as I had requested in the swap description. It is because of her consideration to explain where to look, that I now understand what exactly @user2637 meant by "dash." In doing so, I have now removed the person mentioned, based on four late swaps currently still listed on her profile.

CariPeace 07/ 5/2015 #

Thank you for participating in this swap with me! The first thing we will do is, get a notepad to write down our responses to the following questions. Then based on the subject's we chose, we will pick two postcards to send to our partners. They can be the same or different, as long as they have something that represents one of the subjects in the picture.

Write down the numbers 1-4, give yourself enough room to write four words after each number. Now whatever is the first word (subject), or words for the descriptive parts, that pops into your mind that best fits the answer to the questions, write it down. Be sure your in a calm space, away from distractions while taking this quiz.

Beside numbers 1-3, write the name of the first word that comes to your mind for the subjects questioned. Then write three adjectives, describing it. ~ Use just three single descriptive words.

1: ~ What is your favorite color?

2: ~ What is the name of your favorite animal? - It can be a real, fantasy or a mythical animal.

3: ~ What is your favorite body of water? - It can be anything that has water in it, like a bath tub, river, ocean, waterfall, lake, tea, etc.

4: Write the word, "Room." Now imagine that you are in a room, by yourself. Whether, it's light or dark in the room is up to you. There are no doors and no windows. There are four walls, a ceiling and a floor. Please write three words that describe how you feel in that room.

Based on your answers to the subjects listed, choose your postcards. Then transfer your word choices to the postcards. Be sure to write the name of the swap & your S.B. User ID on the top left-hand side of the postcards and date them. Then send them off to your partners.

After everyone has marked that they have sent their postcards, I will come back and reveal the origins and analysis of this quiz. ~ Cari

So we only send one pc per partner? So we choose a postcard based on our answers? Does it have to incorporate everything? Or just a few words?

Sorry, I want to make sure I do it correctly. :)

CariPeace 07/ 5/2015 #

Yes, it's one p.c. per partner, that the picture is based on at least one of the subjects of your answer. It does not have to incorporate everything. Just one thing. EX: if you chose a cat for the animal, then a cat p.c. is good, or a lake for water, then a p.c. with a lake is good, etc. As for the words, it's #'s 1-4, then the subject word followed by the three descriptive words, that are actually written on the p.c.'s. ~ That's it.

CariPeace 07/ 6/2015 #

Another Note: I only have one answer that has changed over the years from when I first took this quiz... my animal. So I will give you an example based on the first one I choose, back at the young age of 18. I imagined a black panther with green eyes to be my favorite. So on the p.c. that would be written as...

2: Panther ~ fast, nurturing, mysterious

...because that's what I thought about it at the time.

Knitsicle 07/ 6/2015 #

Thanks for clarifying!

squince 07/ 7/2015 #

Got it! Thanks!

CariPeace 07/ 7/2015 #

Of Course! ~ Your welcome. ~ Clarification is important to me. :-)

CariPeace 07/ 7/2015 #

If you want to decorate the p.c.'s, then feel free to do so, too.

AZmom875 07/ 9/2015 #

I sent both and I have received one from Knitsicle so far, just in case you are keeping track.

CariPeace 07/10/2015 #

@AZmom875 Sweet! ~ It looks like that p.c. took only four days to get to you. Pretty cool. Are you excited to learn about the analysis?

I am and I'm keeping track. I'm visiting the "view participants" page to see when people mailed their p.c.'s. Thank you for thinking of making a note of it here, though. I think it's also fun to see when people receive theirs, too. So that's a good idea to comment about it. :-)

CariPeace 07/16/2015 #

Now that it's been a couple of days since the last person has marked that they have mailed their postcards, I will reveal the analysis. :-)... if you are ready. Or would you prefer that I wait until the deadline to mail the p.c.'s is over?

I am curious how many people have received their p.c.'s from their two partners? ~ I have only received one so far.

AZmom875 07/16/2015 #

Only one so far. And might I just add if I was in a room with no doors or windows, I sure would wonder how in the world I got there.

CariPeace 07/17/2015 #

LOL, me, too!!

sam86 07/17/2015 #

I have recieved both my postcards :-) excited to see what they both reveal about the person who sent them

CariPeace 07/18/2015 #

Origins: This Psychoanalysis quiz is based off the work of Carl Jung.

Analysis: The words chosen represent the following…

  1. The person you would like to be or how you would like others to see you.
  2. The person that you really are or the traits that you have on the inside.
  3. How you feel about sex.
  4. How you feel about death.

The title of this swap was my own silly idea and not what Carl Jung called this self analysis quiz. :-)

CariPeace 07/19/2015 #

I'm curious, how do you feel about this quiz?

squince 07/19/2015 #

I realized I forgot to save my answers and can't remember what I wrote! Hhaa

AZmom875 07/19/2015 #

It was fun, and fairly accurate, I think

CariPeace 07/19/2015 #

@squince since I received your p.c., I can send you a message about what you wrote. :-)

@AZmom875 yeah, I've always enjoyed this little quiz. It's a great ice breaker at a party, too. Funny thing, when I was younger, I would give this quiz to guys who asked me out, in order to learn more about them & to determine if I wanted to let them get any closer to me. :-) One guy's answer to #3 was: Lake ~ cold, dirty and dead! Yikes! Lol

sam86 07/20/2015 #

Loved this

CariPeace 07/21/2015 #

Thank you, @sam86 ~ I'm so glad to know you enjoyed it. :-)

Knitsicle 07/22/2015 #

Thanks for hosting. haha it was fun. I'm going to give this quiz to my husband.

CariPeace 07/22/2015 #

You are welcome, @knitsicle I'm happy to know that you had fun, too. I hope you have an easier time getting your husband to play along; my boyfriend took longer than anyone I've known, to describe things! Sometimes, we are just at a loss for words, I guess. I hope you both have fun, as it's meant to be, and gain a little deeper insight with each other. :-)
