The ‘Cube’ test

No one knows exactly where the “Cube” comes but it is thought to have Sufi Muslim origins in the areas of Greece, Turkey.

It is generally seen as a game rather than a test and can be ‘played’ as a Question and answer format.

Its purpose is to find out how you feel about yourself, those you love and your attitude to your present situation.

The questioner will have the ‘key’ to the answers and once known, the game cannot be repeated, unless you ask the questions of someone else…

The interpretations from the answers you give can vary, as well as the questions which are asked. Sometimes elements within the questions can be omitted.

To have a bit of an imagination is essential to the game as you will be asked to ‘picture’ in your mind: a cube (desert), a horse, flowers, a storm and a ladder.

You may surprised or disappointed by the interpretation of your picture but  how much you believe, in what you are told, is entirely up to you!

So here it is:-

The Test
To start the game the questioner asks the other person to think of a desert scene. Then the person is asked to put a cube into the scene and describe it out loud. Then the questioner asks the player to describe a ladder and put it into the picture too. The game continues with placing a horse, some flowers and finally a storm within the picture imagined.

The interpretation  (do not read this unless you have already done the test)
After listening to the descriptions the questioner becomes the storyteller, and can relate the “secrets of the cube”
1.    The cube represents the player. The size of the cube within the scene is a statement about how they think of themselves.
A small cube shows that the player sees themselves as insignificant or humble.
A larger cube suggests just the opposite
A cube on the ground shows that the player is quite down to earth
A cube in the air or floating can mean the player is a bit of a dreamer.
2.    The ladder represents friends or family
A ladder close to the cube shows that  player keeps their friends close
If the ladder is as tall as the cube it means that the relationships with friends or family are. balanced
3.    The horse represents the player’s lover.
The closer to the cube in the picture shows the importance of the players love life, and maybe their possessiveness
4.     The storm represents the player’s current problems and their attitude towards them.
A large storm which covers over the picture can mean that the player is overwhelmed by their problems
A small or distant storm would give the impression that they have no big, insurmountable problems at the moment. They may even be a bit optimistic. The storm can be seen by some players as exciting or refreshing.
5.    The flowers represent the player’s children or those to come.
The flowers can show creativity or taking care of things that are made
Flowers close to the cube could mean a close relationship with children
Broken or crushed  flowers could mean a broken relationship with children or associates
The questioner/story teller might sometimes hold back on the interpretations in order to create further meetings with the player.
