Symbolism Test

I don't know if you've ever taken it but this is a fun test to do. Recently, a radio show I was listening to made me think of this symbolism test. I knew I had kept a copy of it but I had to look for it. I thought you guys might like to try taking it too.

It was initially given to me (and my class) in Creative Writing by a teacher that I liked very much. I never really fit in with my peers (even now I don't really) but after getting the answers, I felt much better about myself --- like I was more grounded, for lack of a better word, than most of the teens I knew or something, which explained why I didn't fit in as much too.

I'll give you the questions today and explain your answers as well as share some of mine tomorrow. Make sure you write down specifics. Have fun.
