kokology

have you ever encountered the word "kokology"? (shet, english)

yung iba siguro, oo at yung iba eh hindi pa. eh ano nga ba ang kokology? 

ang "kokology" ay ang pag-aaral ng "kokoro" na ang ibig sabihin ay "mind" or "spirit". naimbento ito ng dalawang japanese na may matatabang utak at naisipang gumawa ng libro na puno ng nakakatuwang mga tanong kung saan ang bawat sagot ay may kahulugan na kadalasan daw ay sumasalamin sa ating pagkatao. 

ang mga sagot mo raw sa mga tanong na ito ay nagpapakita ng mga hidden attitudes mo towards life, sex, money, work, family at kung anu-ano pa. sounds interesting,di ba?

isang kaibigan ang nag-introduce nito sa akin. nakakaaliw siya lalo na nung malaman ko ang meaning ng mga sinagot ko. 

simula nun eh naadik na ako sa kokology. bukod sa nakakaaliw eh nakaaliw talaga siya. hehe.

eto ilang samples na nakita ko sa internet. prepare a pen and a piece of paper.

warning: be honest sa mga isasagot niyo at tapusin niyo muna ang buong tanong bago mag-proceed sa answer key. enjoy! :)
