KOKOLOGY
Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito
Created by a famous Japanese psychologist, kokology is
the study of kokoro (“mind” or “spirit” in Japanese).
Based on sound psychological principles, Kokology asks
you to answer questions about seemingly innocent
topics—such as the color of an imaginary bird that has
flown in your window—and then reveals what your
answers say about you.
DANCING WATERS
Close your eyes and imagine a
park with a fountain. You have
arranged to meet some friends
there before a night out on the
town. What kind of fountain do
you see?
1. A single jet of water blasting
straight up in the air like a geyser.
2. A number of medium-size
fountains in a sparkling array,
their spray dissolving into droplets
of mist.
3. A smallish, burbling fountain.
4. An intricately engineered and
complex water sculpture.
The water goes up, the water comes down—
what does it achieve? Nonetheless, we sense
that the world would be a poorer place without
them. Sometimes you need to forget about
practicality and just cut loose and enjoy. And
therein lies the key to this scenario: The type of
fountain you imagined is related to the way
you spend your money when enjoying a night
out with friends.
A SINGLE JET OF WATER
BLASTING STRAIGHT UP IN THE
AIR LIKE A GEYSER
You’re like a magician with money, able to make vast
quantities disappear in the blink of an eye. It doesn’t
matter much to you the way that you consume it, just
as long as you don’t leave any leftovers. This makes
you everybody’s friend the first weekend after payday
and explains why people around the office have taken
to calling you “Old Faithful.”
A NUMBER OF MEDIUM-SIZE FOUNTAINS
IN A SPARKLING ARRAY, THEIR SPRAY
DISSOLVING INTO DROPLETS OF MIST
You like to use money to impress, spending it in a
flashy way to guarantee maximum effect. You have
been known to order food you don’t even like, simply
because it was the most expensive thing on the menu.
As long as you’re willing to keep paying the tab, there
will always be people willing to act impressed.
