One teacher said, “I felt like they were all moving…but slowly. Kind of like, they were breathing.”

The above pictures are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.
The slower the pictures move, the better your ability to handle stress.

None of these images are animated – they are perfectly still.

P.S. If you do happen to see the images spinning around madly,
please take me off your mailing list.

No Cheating. Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you. Make your choice before you check the meaning. After taking this dessert personality test send this e-mail on to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject box above.

Here are your choices:

Angel Food Cake

Brownies

Lemon Meringue Pie

Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing

Strawberry Short Cake

Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing

Ice Cream

Carrot Cake

No, you can’t change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully about what your choice will be.

OK – Now that you’ve made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you…

ANGEL FOOD CAKE – Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day.. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.

BROWNIES — You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.

LEMON MERINGUE — Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher.. But don’t try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.

VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING — Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad.. However, you are a friend for life.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE — Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING–Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.

ICE CREAM — You like sports, whether it be baseball, football,basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don’t like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.

CARROT CAKE — You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.
