Popular psychology

A personality test like no other. An entertaining and revealing psychological quiz, using that humblest of office stalwarts - the bent paperclip - to pick the lock of your psyche

Learn something new about yourself today.

What does your workspace say about you? The most revealing clues aren't

on your desk or on your computer. Rather, they're those paperclips in

your bin - the ones you've fiddled with, probably without even realising

it.

When psychiatrist Mario Gm r started scrutinising

paperclips bent by his patients, he found that they actually reveal multitudes about the creator's character, quirks and hidden desires. Are

you an optimist? A pushover? A Lothario? A bully?

After studying the

links between paperclip shapes and distinct character types, Gm r has

created a delightful collection of quizzes and psychological profiles

that allow readers to discover their innermost truths using these

miniature metallic sculptures.

Part Rorschach test and part humorous

horoscope, The Paperclip Test offers an amusing yet astonishingly

insightful personality gauge for anyone who has ever bent a paperclip

without thinking about what secrets that tiny shape might hold.
