WHAT DOES YOUR DOODLES SAY ABOUT YOU



PEOPLE
Do you like drawing human faces or portraits. In general according to psychologists this is a sign of lack of communication especially among extroverts who are eager to talk to someone but can't find a good person to talk to. If you draw a person made of lines it means that you're tense right now, you don't want to talk to anyone. Those who pay attention to details often think a lot about their appearance and always try to look nice. Parts of the human body drawn separately can also mean a lot if you know how to interpret them for example people inclined to self-criticism often draw eyes while sensitive and affectionate people draw lips.

SIGNATURES
Instead of drawing you spend time writing your own signature again and again, it seems like you're the boss or you may be practicing to perfect the process of signing documents it's a joke of course not. In reality this habit means that these people love themselves and are even too self-centered even if they're solving a problem while talking on the phone they can't stop thinking about themselves for a second. You can try to tell them but they won't even hear you.

GEOMETRIC FIGURES
Those who draw geometric figures such as squares, diamonds or other polygons even in a meditative state are the most persistent and determined on out list. They usually set clear and realistic objectives and always achieve them at the same time. However these figures can be a sign of extreme cautiousness and even to suspicious character. So if you are one of these people we recommend you relaxing more often, than not complicating your life.

CIRCLES
After talking on the phone if you discover a series of circles of different sizes on the paper. Well if you believe psychologist this means that you lack the attention and support of your friends. By drawing circles on a piece of paper you are expressing your desire to be a part of a collective become a member of a team and have warm human relations. So if you draw picture like these don't feel desperate and don't be sad we're sure that you will seem to be very well in the meantime you can hug a cat if it's not resisting obviously.

ANIMALS
Do you draw little animals when you're thinking? Well first of all you're probably a good artist, because not many people can do it and secondly we're not going to judge your artistic talent. Rather we'll see what kind of zoo you've created. On your piece of paper if most animals are predators such as tigers or wolves there is no doubt that you have problems of covert aggression. If bunnies and squirrels inhabit your zoo you may have a soft and gentle character. Foxes can mean that the author of the drawings is planning a trap. In general if your zoo is not very diversified and consists of animals of the same type it means that you associate yourself with this animal and attribute its habits to yourself. For example lions are the favorite animals of those who feel superior to the rest of the world.

SPIRALS AND WAVY LINES
According to scientists this drawing has a very simple meaning. The person who did it has no absolute interest in the problems of others and it's not because they're so selfish that they don't care about anyone and nothing but themselves. It just means that at this particular time they are bush with their thoughts trying to solve their own problems and they're not used to being under the spotlight especially if they're drawing, but nobody likes that right .So if you notice that your friend is busy drawing wavy lines in this notebook you'd better not bother him.

ARROWS
If you prefer to draw arrows pointing in all directions it doesn't means that in the depths of your soul you have the need to kill someone. According to psychologists arrows indicate your direction in life. An upward arrow means that the person is an extrovert and moves towards other people. A downward arrow characterizes its author as an introvert. The arrows facing left or right indicate that you're looking towards your past or your future. Who knows how the scientist came to these conclusions but well this kind of research is their specialty, we should believe them.

STARS
Stars are probably one of the simplest things you can draw. You don't even have to take the pencil from the paper. Well if you still can't get rid of the habit of covering any sheet of paper with lots of stars, congratulations! You're a hopeless optimist. Whenever a problem comes up in your life you don't give up. Plus as a true star you prefer to be the center of attention and when you get sad your little stars have more rays. This is a clear sign that you need to get some rest or cheer up with your favorite sweet.

FLOWERS, SUNS AND CLOUDS
This kind of drawing doesn't mean anything bad either. If during a telephone conversation or some other important business you sketch flowers and the suns you're probably happy with the events in your life. Maybe you're even up in the clouds, dreaming of something very nice. In general these doodles reflect optimistic spirits and a happy mood. So don't even try to pretend to be serious or sad because nobody will believe you.

CROSSES
If after talking on the phone you discover a sheet full of crosses or something like that this can be a bad sign. You may have a feeling of guilt about someone close to you or suffering from a problem for which you feel responsible. So if your subconscious draws these pictures we recommend you to think about whether you have offended someone and if everything's okay in your family or in your studies.

HOUSES AND BOXES
If you're one of those people who draw these objects all the time, congratulations! These doodles mean that you prefer to have everything tidy. Always calculate your actions and know how to reach your goals. Even better if you draw them symmetrically this level of detail indicates an infinite optimism and a great vital force. So we advise you to keep it that way.

CHESSBOARD
If you draw something similar to a chessboard you may be in an unpleasant or simply complicated situation. We don't want to scare you or make you feel desperate but psychologists believe that these scribbles point out complexes hidden in the person. Yes of course it can be much simpler for example right now you feel confused with your problems or you're looking for yourself. Anyway we recommend you to pay attention to these drawings and analyze what's going on in your life.

HONEYCOMB
Even if you thing that this drawing is similar to the previous point. It actually has a completely opposite meaning. These drawings mean that you prefer peace and harmony. You're trying to fix your life or even ready to start your own family. Don't think that we're predicting your future. We simply share with you conclusions from scientist around the world we find incredibly interesting.

DOTTED LINES
Have you ever drawn lines during a very important conversation and not just simple lines but dotted lines all over the sheet. Yes, then you certainly feel insecure and shy but in spite of this you're a very quiet and relaxed person. You may be worried about something specific at this very moment. So we advise you to lie down and rest or at least distract yourself from your tasks.

TREES
It may sound quite rare but people who draw trees often associate themselves with different plants. That's why these drawings are great for understanding people's character. For example if you draw a tree white a strong trunk and a thick foliage you maybe a person who doesn't depend on the opinions of others. A tree with flexible branches and scarce foliage means that you're not very friendly and communicable. But if you're used to drawing a completely naked tree that means you definitely need some changes in your life.

EXTRA BONUS
And finally something very interesting. Did you know that the position of the drawing also contains a lot of important information about the author. For example if the drawing is closer to the top edge then, your self-esteem is quite high but it seems to you that your friends don't appreciate you well enough. A drawing at the bottom means that you need some encouragement a couple of compliments and a little more self confidence. As with the little arrows the images on the left-hand side points out your orientation towards the past and the acquired experience. If there are they are on the right-hand side then you are thinking rather about your incredible and beautiful future. Large drawings usually belong to those people who have a lot of fantasy and love freedom. The smallest one showed perseverance and attention to detail. If the lines of your work look fluffy and the image in general has many stripes you show calm down a little and take a deep breath and don't forget the emotional components of the drawing. If you sketch down a smiling little devil that doesn't necessarily means you want to destroy humanity or torture someone with a fork. You're just in a cheerful and playful mood but anyway you should check your head. Who knows maybe you're getting little horns.

10 COOLEST DREAM JOBS IN THE WORLD


10. WATER SLIDE TESTER

Now you would think that chocolate factories run the same way as Willy Wonka's but thats not really the case. Sadly we won't be seeing any chocolate waterfalls and or edible landscapes anytime soon; but what we do have is the opportunity to be employed by chocolate and candy companies as their official chocolate tester. For example in Britain, the Cadbury company was firtst to introduce the concept of "Chief Chocolate Tester" to the world.

7. PROFESSIONAL SLEEPER
Staying in bed all day especially on Mondays is something that we all wish we could do and get paid for.

A kind of living where all you have to do is to lay in bed and not worry about a single thing and money just pour into your bank account. This occupation has since been proven to be of use to many companies and agencies. One such agency is NASA when they advertised for a similar position that will ask individuals to stay in bed for 70 days. Maybe a little too much sleep.

Even more surprising is that being a professional cuddler does not have to be full time. Cuddlers have been known to take freelance positions in the cafe and still have a full time job on the side. They can make up to $100,000 a year! But the thing is, there's nothing kinky going on here. The occupation only requires that you cuddle with a client and nothing more.

The position only requires playing the game and give their opinions and ratings based on categories set by the company. And the thing is, this is great for people not living in the US because the company is constantly looking for foreign language testers to engage their titles and how a specific country or market would react to it. The best thing of all is that you get first dibs in playing a game that is yet to be released.
