You’re quite analytical in that respect. It‘s as if you’re inclined to
attach far more importance to some possessions than others. You
know, you might be the sort who… has some photographs, some

an old box…”
In most people’s homes you would find:
- Things that need sorting out: old clothes, photographs,
documents,
- Medicine or medical supplies, part of which are long out of
date
- Mementoes from childhood: dolls, some toys, books
- Jewelry from a deceased family member
- A pack of cards, even if they never play cards. Often also a
pack in which one card is missing
- Some electric or electronic gizmo which no longer works
and will never be repaired
- A notepad or message board (but the matching pen is
missing)
- A note attached to the fridge or near the phone, which is
out of date
- Books concerning a study or hobby which is no longer
pursued
- Old magazines
- Some item on open display, which was bought on a holiday
- A broken watch or clock
- A redundant key
Most women:
- Bought at least one item of clothing which they never wore
- Have more pairs of shoes than they actually need
- Keep photos of their loved ones in their purse on near
them
- Wear their hair long as a child, then adopt a shorter
haircut when older
- Have at least one ear ring, the partner of which has been
lost
