Foudn this site today, draw a house and it tells you about your personality. You can even make up a street, so i have started self sufficientish street. and my personality? Well seems to think that I am a leader.

Hee hee good one Andy! I see we are both 'looking for love'!! Don't tell my husband that!

That was fun!!! Thanks for sharing...'neighbour'!!

I'm looking for love too - apparently

I've added mine. I'm apparently another in the 'looking for love' category although, because they deduce that from the presence of flowers, that's going to cover quite a lot of us!

Unfortunately the best bit, the huge rambling garden, is round the back...

Mine claims I'm a gifted artist-that maybe, but not an artist of houses! no straight lines!

The bit on the side is a brick base greenhouse full of tomatoes!

I didn't colour mine in! And it's done so quickly as well. But it gave me a fairly good analysis of who I am.

What a lovely find Andy!

If you click on Amazing Street you get a selection of their best drawings/houses. How on earth did anyone manage to draw like that with this rudimentary program? I could hardly make a straight line let along make a curve go where I wanted it!

It does however show that we SSishers, at least so far, are SANE!

Serious trouble with my roof lines! Oh well, it's obviously seen a few storms...

The analysis was partly ok, partly rubbish. Since I couldn't be bothered with a flower (too difficult to draw), I'm not looking for love!

My apples are a bit on the large side, too - so if you are wondering whether that's supposed to be pumpkin trees - no!

I have to comment on the lack of colour in the lives of some of the Ishers, it says tooooooooo much about your personalities.

In play therapy with children the lack of colour in pictures of childrenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s houses is seen as a deeply telling element of the childÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s psyche.

But what does it tell?

Firstly Wulf let me say I did notice and note the colour in your picture.

Of course my comment was a generalisation what it tells is as diverse as a client list? It tells different things in respect of what is drawn, and of what is drawn what is coloured and what is not.

But simply put, the lack of colour in any element of the picture tells of the childÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s lack of visualised colour in relation to that object.

A colourful house could signify a fun house one in which the child can have fun and has had fun and could visualise having more fun.

I think the lack of colour and flowers in my picture means mainly that I was at the end of my lunch break and should have been working already for the past 15 minutes

! I did consider adding a sunflower (my super, dooper, award winning tallest sunflower

), but seeing as I had so much trouble with the roof already, I left the flower out... And I couldn't work out in a hurry how to add colour, so I left that. Same with a fence - I wanted one, as it is so important to keep the livestock out of the garden, but it was too complicated.

Which just shows you that these tests are predominantly a bit of fun! Or maybe I should repeat it with more time?

My sentiments entirely Ina. I was too much in a rush to do a really good job!

If I was analysed on most of the stuff I do in my life, I would be probably seen as a complete nutcase or have 'serious issues'!

Drawing a little house is great fun anyway. I am gonna do it again but with bells and whistles on it.

I don't think it is suposed to be taken that seariously really. - For me the lack of colour was down to the fact that the tools to draw it with were pretty rubbish, I tried on the door and it just looked a mess so I gave up on the colour. Not sure what my girlfriend would say about the looking for love part either. - and that is suposed to be a greenhouse on the side

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.

When it comes to love, you shut yourself off. It's difficult to win your heart because you have decided to keep your feelings deep inside. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You are not a romantic person by nature. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

To see how you could be similarly afflicted:
