Biweekly Conceptualization Assessment

Good morrow, sir/madam/creature! As ever, please answer with sincerity, gumption, and without fear of reprisal. Insincere, lazy, or anxious answers will incur swift and terrible consequences.

Question 1: How do you conceptualize the future?

1. An oncoming train, rattling down the track at harrowing, oblivious speed.
2. A rusted landmine, forgotten beneath the soft floor of a dense forest, awaiting sudden completion.
3. A distant promise, spoken of with certainty by people you want to trust, but never glimpsed or proven.

Mark the phlegmatic value of your answer on the humorism grid.

Question 2: A voice follows you wherever you go, expressing judgments of your decisions and preferences. How do you conceptualize the voice?

1. An absentee paternal figure. The voice abandoned me when I needed it most, and has returned in my darkest hour to provide unwanted advice. I outgrew my need for it long ago.
2. A calm source of reason. I lose myself sometimes, and need the voice to anchor me. Without the voice I might become someone else. Someone unrecognizable.
3. A wicked trickster. The voice's deceptions and manipulations will lead to ruin if I let down my guard. Its soft words are lies, its sharp words cruel. It will delight in my downfall if I allow it.

Factor the quotient of your answer into your penultimate analysis phase.

Question 3: How do you conceptualize your personal relationships?

1. A safety net. Without the support of those I trust, I would return to my old ways, my old habits, my old vices. The new me, the me that has worth, is contingent on their presence.
2. A vault of treasure, jealously guarded. They are my most valuable assets, and I wield and spend them accordingly.
3. A coin-operated dispenser of prize capsules. Inside each of them is something wonderful, if I can just find opportunities to open them up.

Convert your answer to "Answer Points" using the chart provided.

Question 4: How do you conceptualize escape?

1. The light at the end of a long tunnel. If I say the right words, and bide my time, I will feel the warmth and light of the sun once again.
2. A hopeless dream. The world outside is so far out of my reach now, and I would do well to focus my thoughts on more tangible pursuits.
3. An illusion, subjective at best. Walls can be built and torn down within and without, in spite of the most meticulous plans.

Write your answer on the provided slip of scrap paper and pass it to your contact.

Question 5: There are three identical doors. Behind one of them is something unimaginable and life-altering. How do you conceptualize concepts?

1. Concepts are wholly theoretical. They can be a useful metaphorical lens for analyzing people and things, but they are no more than that.
2. Concepts are subjective. What may be conceptual to me could be upsetting, literal, or tantalizingly erotic to another person. Everything is relative, and nothing can be assumed.
3. Concepts are blue. I used to think they were red, but I was wrong. It brings me grief to remember how misguided I once was.
