The directions are simple. Choose an inkblot and think about the first thing that comes to mind when you see the inkblot, and then decide whether it has a negative or positive connotation. If you see more things that have a negative than positive connotation, you might be subsconsciously pessimistic, stressed, or afraid. However, if you see more images that have a positive than negative connotation then you are subconsciously hopeful, optimistic, and confident.
