Understanding Mental Health: What This Bathtub Test Reveals About Perception and Logic

shilpa.u
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No," said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

Dear All,

Never commit that you thought about the bucket because Shilpa has planned and reserved window-side seats for all of us... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Venu, it's too bad... Let them reveal what they have thought. 😳 😂

HA HA HA... Don't worry, Shilpa... everybody will only think about the bucket. I was only trying to save my brothers from falling prey to your intellectual net. No doubt you are clever enough. 😂 😂 😂 😂

Hey Guys, start finding questions and puzzles!! Let's trap Shilpa... 😂 😂 😂 😂

Shilpa, don't mind please. Nothing serious here. Just pulling your leg. 😂 😂

Hi Shilpa,

Don't worry, everybody will only think about the bucket. I was only trying to save my brothers from falling prey to your intellectual net. No doubt, you are clever enough.

Thanks a lot, Venu. Not only me, but all our Cite HR members are clever enough.

Thanks and regards,
Shilpa
