The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director how do
You determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?
'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
Teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to
Empty the bathtub.'
'Oh, I understand,' I said.
'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'
'No' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug.
Do you want a bed near the window?'
'Oh, I understand,' I said.
