Envelope Test Responses: January 16

Envelope Test Responses: January 16 - January 31, 2000

The image for this test is an illustration of a 1940s era kitchen. And for this test we have an ABSOLUTE DIRECT NO-OTHER-EXPANATION HIT! Me, from earth, said "banana!" And lo and behold, there is a tray of fruit with banana's on it! As you can tell, I'm really tickled. We've had other impressions in the past that made it quite clear to me that people were definitely "getting" things from the images, but this is the first time we've gotten a one-for-one word-to-image correlation. Yippee!

There were other relationships between the image and the impressions as well:

Anne said "purple, round" -- could that be the grapes?
Lanore Dixon said "like a conch shell that's been sliced down the center so you can see the insides--maybe like an ear looking thing" - the cactus on the window shelf reminded me of this
We also got several animals (dog, animal, rabbit, snail) -- though I can't see any in this picture I thought it was interesting that almost half the participants mentioned animals.
Joel C's "dime" is reminiscent of the cabinet hardware and the stool chrome - shiney and silver. Maybe it's nickle plated and he just upped it for inflation!
