(Sometimes you are asked a leading question.)
A psychologist and a client are sitting in a little room.
The psychologist is analyzing the results of a personality test for the client:
Psychologist:
“You have reached high scores in artistic talent and interests in creative artistic activity. Anyway, I paid attention to one particular question.”
Client:
“Okay, what was that question?”
Psychologist:
“It’s about enjoying the beauty of nature. You were asked to imagine, that you are walking in nature. It’s a beautiful day and the sun is shining. You come across a river. The sunlight is glittering brightly in the flowing water. Would you stay there in the river shore for a long time just admiring and enjoying that view? Or would you just continue walking after a little while?”
Client:
“Yeah, I remember that particular question, although there were hundreds of questions in that test.”
Psychologist:
“Great! You answered, that you would NOT stay there for a very long time. It’s interesting, because usually artistic people say, that they would stay there for quite a long time just enjoying the view.”
Client:
“Really? I was thinking that I wouldn’t stay there for a very long time doing nothing. Instead, I would take my camera and take some awesome photos of that beautiful view. Later I would show those photos to other people, who weren’t there on that beautiful day. Maybe I would make some prints of those photos, put them in golden frames and give them as a gift to my loved ones. Yeah, I would do that! “
Psychologist:
“Hmm… Okay…”
Client:
“Was that an inappropriate answer to that question?”
