In order to find out what's really on your mind, we suggest one of the great exercises of modern psychology, what is known as a sentence completion test.

Gerund

The test involves looking at a series of unfinished sentences, or sentence stubs, and completing them as fast as possible, letting whatever first comes into one's mind to rise to the surface, thereby giving one a chance to discover what one deep down, unconsciously, really feels, fears, wants, regrets or a cross about.

We're going to flash up some of these sentences on the screen in a second.

As they show up, look at them for an instant, and then say the very first thing that comes into the mind, however shocking, direct or emotional it happens to be.

Now you're done, reflect on what ways your answers might be slightly different to what you would ordinarily have understood about yourself.

What might you have learnt about who you could really be?
