The following Fifty Statements should be read to a group of standing participants in a neutral tone similar to that of a spelling bee, leaving an almost agitating amount of dead space between statements as to discourage any narrative associations.
Remind participants that this is not a personality test before proceeding exactly like a personality test: if a listener Agree’s with a statement, they should take a step forward. If they disagree, take a step back. Neutral’s remain where they are.
