While doing so, a third command would appear at the bottom, the ‘Spread Card’ option. This is the option to click to spread the cards in one straight horizontal line.
2. The individual is asked to select three cards only. If the individual change his mind on a selection, he can click on the card to return it to the spread. Once done, the individual will click on the ‘Submit’ button found at the bottom.
3. The test then will be processed and the result will come out. . A message will automatically be sent in the e-mail containing the result and option to access the personalized report.

MY COMMENTS ON THE TEST

I would like to point out a few things/make a few suggestion:

• I really like the interactivity of cutting and shuffling the cards. It’s dynamic and entertaining but it takes some time to accomplish.
• It would be better if there were other spreads other than the past-present-future one. There are so many spreads to choose from and new ones are still invented.
• The way the description of the card is left-hanging is a good marketing strategy. Individuals would possibly be tempted to purchase the full report of the reading.
• It would be better if there was an area wherein brief description of each card can be viewed (such as seen in http://store.astrocenter.com/msn/store/betweenTa.asp?Af=-1000&VS=) It could provide assistance to an individual if he want to gain more insight to a card using this feature.
• It would be better if there was some statement stating the existence of this test. The only description stated is “Reading Your Past, Present and Future”. This test is placed under the Personality Category. There should be a reason how it relates to this category Personality.

THE REPORT

The report is well presented. It is divided into the following areas:

• A brief description about the cards you chose.
• You are given the option to take the personalized report.
• You are given the option to invite friends to take the test and be able to compare results with them.
0
• You are given the option to retake the test if you might feel in doubt.
• You are given the option to use Tickle’s new social network and meet new people (almost like Friendster.)
• One feature I like about taking this test is it gets to be automatically saved into your account once you’re done.

TERMINOLOGIES
Spread – placing the cards in certain positions to distinguish different aspects of life. Each card position tends to affect a card’s meaning to reflect on an individual’s life. Examples of these are the Celtic Cross, the Wide Spread, and the Reincarnation Spread.
