View Full Version : The Bathtub Test
During a visit to a mental asylum, I asked the director how do you determine whether or not a person is to be institutionalized or not.
"Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub and offer the patient a teaspoon, a tea cup, and a bucket and ask them to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon and the teacup."
"No," said the director. "A normal person would pull the plug."
*I got myself a nice bed by the window. Please forward my mail to the state mental asylum.

JimP - Always heard, and called it, "The Bathtub Test". But It had better crack the porcelain when she lets go. :eek: :D

Exactly.Yup, fun memory of that one; thanks kindly for the PDF. Grand-daughters almost aced it once; their over-thinking Dad not so much. This bath-tub thing could be entertaining; money's still on the little ones.
Exactly.
BKKMAN,
The PDF aptitude test you provided just jump started the week for about 150 high schoolers...
much appreciated.
