This is a simple but very interesting test that allows you to quickly and easily determine how much we understand each other.
Task: two people each take 7 matches, sit opposite each other, make a partition so as not to see who built what. The first builds something from matches: a figure, two, whatever you want. Then he must give instructions to the second, so that he reproduces his figure exactly. The second should not ask questions, the first should not answer them. Just instruct.
When the second figure is built, the partition is removed and they are compared how similar they are and what the instructor missed. You can then switch roles and compare who was more clear. If there are discrepancies, stop being surprised in life that someone from the store brought something wrong at your request, etc. With a perfect match, remember that you can always explain about 7 matches, it’s nice to know at least something for sure.
