On a blank piece of paper, tell each student to draw a
mountain scene. It should include a mountain, a road or path, some trees and
any other details.
Here’s a quick guide for interpreting the drawings:
The mountain itself:
• If your mountain keeps climbing higher and higher,
without an end in sight, you tend to be self-driven and self-motivated.
• If it goes up, stops at a level peak, such as a butte,
your friends rely on you greatly.
• If your mountain goes straight up, peaks and then and
straight down, like a triangle, you are a multi-tasking person who is not
disappointed easily with failure.
The road or path:
• If your road goes straight through the mountain, you
are a direct, to-the-point person.
• If your road turns around the mountain repeatedly, then
you are a cautious person.
• If your road travels straight across one side of the
mountain, then you are a peaceful person who sees the world with calm and
serene eyes.
The trees:
• If your trees show great detail, with lots of leaves
and branches, you are creative.
• If your trees contain fruit, you are a daydreamer who
seeks out adventure.
• If your trees are simple twigs with leaves on them, you
are a person who enjoys following the rules of life, and you are precise in
your actions.
The sky:
• If you put a sun in your picture, you are a sunny
person.
• If it is nighttime, you are full of ambition and
optimism.
• If it is raining, you are a person who is prone to
lethargy and possibly depression.
