Did you know that Anna Akhmatova had a test for new acquaintances? She used it to see who was who.
Just three questions:
1. Tea or coffee?
2. Cat or dog?
3. Pasternak or Mandelstam?
The result is simple. Those who chose tea, a dog and Pasternak are reliable people. A bit simple-minded, but optimistic and mentally healthy. Balanced and not inclined to change their minds, straightforward and honest. Those who chose coffee, a cat and Mandelstam are more refined individuals. This is a person of constant mental metamorphosis, a pessimist by nature, who tends to exaggerate and dramatize. People like that change their minds every now and then on all sorts of issues.
Who are you?
