Provisional Analysis for O'Henry, 3 May 2006

These results are a rough estimate of a proper analysis. The AI used to generate this report can make very stupid mistakes. Numbers in parentheses represent the confidence the AI has in the preceding statement.

This is how you described the room:

It is warm. There are bookshelves, tables and countertops, all littered with toys, some messy, some neatly stacked. The walls are painted pleasing pastels with the occassional mini-mural of something like a balloon or the sun. There are old, worn out, soft armchairs and one rocking chair. A flimsy looking closet holds thick coats and tiny shoes.

The initial room is the subject’s childhood. What interests us here is the general atmosphere of the room, in addition to the level of furnishings described by the subject. This comfortable room suggests a childhood that was pleasant (99.58%). The significant detail in the description of the room tells us that the subject has rich, lasting memories of childhood (91.74%).

You wanted to stay in the room.

The subject did not want to grow up.

This is how you described the forest:

The trees are birch and oak and bright light falls in patches on the ground as it is filtered through the leaves above.

The forest is growing up, and the trees are those adults with whom the subject interacted at that time. A semi-dark forest tells us that the subject felt somewhat oppressed by the attention the adults gave (66.19%). Tall trees imply that the adults had a strong influence on the subject (99.99%).

This is how you described the path:

There are minor obstructions as the path was not designed intentionally but rather carved out by generations of hikers. Branches and logs impede many stretches, but they are easily scaled.

Adolescence is represented by the path through the forest. Lots of obstructions on the path indicate many problems during adolescence (37.94%). The strong evidence of fellow travelers tells us that the subject received a lot of support from friends and family during that potentially troubling time (58.38%). Poor visibility of the path tells us the subject was often confused by the changes brought on by adolescence (53.77%). A wide path indicates that the subject had numerous options for emotional growth at this time (68.00%).

This is how you described the water:

The path ends at a lazy river with bright leaves floating peacefully by. You can hear the soft trickle of water as it falls over rocks and goes down gentle inclines. The water is green, a reflection of the mossy bottom, and beautiful.

The water is the subject’s sexuality. What interests us here is the clarity of the water (representing attitude) and its movement (representing libido). Murky, dirty, or otherwise unclear water suggests that the subject has significant issues regarding sex (89.04%). The presence of life in or around the water indicates a strong desire for children (83.36%). The movement of the water suggests a normal, average if somewhat playful sex drive (99.99%).

When you came to the water, you crossed it.

The subject is open to new sexual experiences.

This is how you described the cup:

The flask is thin and made of pewter. It's carrying case is old, cracked and leather.

The vessel, or specifically the practicality of the vessel, is how the subject approaches marriage or bonding. That the container is refuse or damaged suggests a cynicism about the institution (54.36%).

You took the cup but left it empty.

The subject is interested in marriage, but sex won’t be a significant part of that relationship.

This is how you described the key:

It probably unlocks the home of a previously passing by hiker. Sorry dude, you sleep on the porch tonight.

The key is the ideal career for the subject. What interests us here is how the key appears (representing how others view the career) and what it may open (representing the subject’s goals for the career). Decorative keys suggest that the subject wants an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind career (46.68%). Note that the subject is confused about the purpose of the key: the subject has no discernible goals when it comes to a career (38.02%).

You avoided the bear.

In a crisis, the subject prefers the indirect, non-confrontational approach.

When you came to the wall, you jumped over it.

The wall represents death: by jumping over it, the subject not only acknowledges death but has come to accept its finality.
