ORIGINAL: Jadiken I know there are many ways to see how much a sub/slave will submit to you, but have you ever wanted to see how hard they will try to do exactly as you say? Thanks, Jade In my experience, there are better tests for this last point. What you do (once you know them well enough, that is) is enter an area in which they have some ego involved, something they do that is ego-gratifying or that they know a lot about and that they have their own methods for doing. Nothing serious like their career, you need to choose something that's more recreational and that will not have any genuinely adverse affect on their life (at least, initially), but also something that they love. And then you butt in. :D If they say, "I'm going to do this and that and this in my project/hobby/pastime/game" you tell them to do it a completely different way. Maybe even micromanage it for a while! Cooking, gardening, raising dogs, collecting, message posting, whatever it is, suddenly you're right there telling them in detail exactly how to spend their time doing it, and it's not in the way they've just planned out. People like to talk about what they enjoy doing and do well, so there are lots of opportunities to do this. Besides learning about obedience, you'll probably learn something about a submissive's capacity for patience as well as their fuse length. Triple learning! :D (Now commences the moment where submissives get to volunteer to shoot me for suggesting such an idea.) while I agree that setting someone up to fail isn't a good way to test someone, neither is trying to micro-mannage something like cooking. I know that if someone even came close to me with that, there would be a huge problem, unless they were teaching me something. I know how to do it, and I'm serving by doing so, and I'd rather just make it appear on the table all ready to eat. There's no need for the dominate party to get involved. As far as just doing things that I enjoy doing, where's the point in taking the joy out of them? Once I know that the way I'm doing it isn't pleasing, then I just wouldn't be able to enjoy doing it any more.
