Some I can easily decide but others I can not decide.

black or white? clothes = black, the walls in my flat = white
hot or cold" in winter = hot, in summer = cold

I guess you understand my problem *smiles*

Yes, I understand. It's also not just in the questions but in our perception of what is being asked. For instance, 'Black or White' can mean so much more than just the colours being applied to things. Some people might see it as a preference for people, based on their skin colour. Others might see it as a way of thinking - negative or positive. Even more might perceive it as an absence versus a totality: as in black being the absence of all colour and white being the presence of all colours mixed together.

This is like a psychological quiz - it depends more on the perception of the questions than on the questions themselves. It's very interesting.

The longer I think about the questions the less can I answer...

Summer or winter
Spring or fall
Television or movies
News or sports
Children or old people
Dogs or cats - cats
House or apartment - apartment
Dial-up or high-speed - high-speed
Books or magazines - books
Grass or pavement
Wood or metal
Mountains or ocean
EPL or La Liga - EPL
Argentina or Brazil - Argentina
Real Madrid or Barcelona
Tea or coffee - coffee
Toast or cereal - toast
Muffins or cookies
Milk or cream - milk
Sugar or honey - honey
Chocolate or cinnamon - chocolate
Wine or beer
Coke or Pepsi - coke
Makeup or natural look - makeup
Religion or atheism - atheism
Metaphysical or existential
Single or double
White or black
Never or always

You can see it's less than the half I can answer. The others I cannot, maybe I like both or I don't like both or it depends on the moment.

That's okay, though! For me it says that you are NOT too set in your ways and that you are open to a lot of different things! That is GOOD!
