1. What is your favorite color and why?
Once you note your favorite color, your reasons for "why" should consist of two adjectives related to that color. For example, if you choose the color yellow, your reasons why might be because it is energizing and positive.
2. What is your favorite animal and why?
Again, your reasons should be limited to two adjectives describing the traits you associate with that creature. For example, if you choose penguins, your reason might be because you see them as loyal and dependable.
3. What is your favorite thing to see in nature and why?
Once again, your reasoning should be limited to two adjectives. For example, if your favorite thing to see in nature is the sky, it might be because you feel it represents mystery and tranquility.
Now that you’ve answered all three questions, it’s time to find out exactly what those two adjectives you chose for each tell you.
The two adjectives you picked to represent your favorite color reveals how you feel about yourself.
This means those two adjectives are what you associate with your own personality.
