Amazon.com Review
Bored with the old board games that are gathering dust in your closet? Grab a copy of Kokology (koh-KOL-oh-jee; from the Japanese kokoro, meaning "mind" or "spirit"), a book that contains 55 psychological questions that aim to delve into your subconscious, revealing how you truly feel about work, love, family, sex, and much more. Created by Japanese psychologist Isamu Saito, Kokology puts a spin on traditional psychological tests by transforming them into a series of entertaining and approachable quizzes.

Innocuous questions make Kokology a perfect conversation starter. Find out how magazine reading corresponds with the way a check book is managed; learn what bringing an address book, hairspray, lucky charm, or gum to work may say about a personality trait; or discover your true feelings about sex by answering a few simple questions about an ideal amusement park ride. Kokology's creators have produced questions that will help you gain insight into yourself, but they add that Kokology is just a game and it's OK if you disagree with the results. However, the minds behind this game also believe that you'll find "more often than not you're surprised at how accurately the answers reflect people's true personalities, including your own."

Play Kokology at a dinner party, bring it on a road trip, or tote it along on your next date to begin unveiling new and exciting things about yourself and others. --Jenny Burritt

Product Description

Introducing Kokology -- the fascinating,
addictive pop-psych quiz game that
reveals the surprising real you

Created by a famous Japanese psychologist, kokology is the study of kokoro ("mind" or "spirit" in Japanese). Based on sound psychological principles, Kokology asks you to answer questions about seemingly innocent topics -- such as the color of an imaginary bird that has flown in your window -- and then reveals what your answers say about you. Kokology offers a unique approach to self-discovery and, when played with others, can provide hilarious insight into the you that they never knew.

4 out of 5 stars A fun game with honest friends   March 20, 2010
August Winters (Florida)
Kokology intrigued me as a game because I love personality tests and I love to do them in groups. It's very fun to play with a group of honest friends who are willing to admit their flaws and pride, and although sometimes it's deadly accurate, sometimes it's totally off the mark. Unfortunately, Kokology /feels/ like pop psychology -- more than a little off base at times; and you can't count on it for accurate results. Nevertheless, we've had some great laughs with this game, and I think that in the right cultural context (we're a kooky bunch), this could be a most excellent party game. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys being surprised by the results of a self-test.


5 out of 5 stars A good deal   February 18, 2010
T. Doyle
I bought the book for a penny, and the condition in which it was sent to me was as though it was never used. The delivery time was great!


4 out of 5 stars Fun book   October 27, 2009
Byna Allen (Arkansas)
Fun short "tests" that tell something about your personality. These can be taken alone or more fun if taken in a group setting. There were a few more dealing with sexuality than I wanted for my particular group (MS Support Group), but they would be fun for a party setting.


5 out of 5 stars Fun Games to play   October 26, 2009
Johnny Jen (Lanta Island, Thailand and San Francisco, CA)
Perfect for a long train ride. I changed up the questions and answers a bit on my own, since some of the games weren't perfect. But over all a great book.


4 out of 5 stars What a Fun and Useful Little Book!   June 14, 2009
Customer (Southern CA USA)
I have used this book for years in a seminar format. These can be fun little activities that don't offend and offer further insight for each individual. The activities also help people to appreciate that differences can be positive - not everyone has the same reactions to situations.

Many of the examples are more personal - not appropriate to a business atmosphere. But, hey, that can be entertaining too!
