From a source on the net:
.....the Dodecahedron. Historically it has symbolized the concept of a fifth element, Ether (Aether) or Universe. It represents the perfect mediation of the infinite and the finite, the sphere and the cube, analogous to the circle and the square. It is reciprocal with the Icosahedron; whereas the Icosahedron has 20 faces and 12 vertices, the Dodecahedron has 12 faces and 20 vertices. Each shape can easily be transformed into the other by truncation or stellation.

It's everything, which is why it's my favorite shape.

I think it's a cognitive skills test, but it's also been used as a personality test:

It is?? Ok, what was I thinking? /me smakcs forehead
Who the **** thought this up ! ! !
A CIRCLE is social and communicative. No hard edges. A CIRCLE handles things by talking about them and smoothing things out with everybody. Communication is the first priority, and making sure there is harmony. When given a task circles will talk about it.
The Circle is a divergent thinker. Circles are creative, extroverted, and intuitive. They will reach out to new areas and to other people. But they aren't particularly systematic or dependable.
For any kind of personal relations the Circle will be good. A Circle will be a good personnel person or a receptionist or customer service representative.
Convergent people (squares, rectangles) might be really frustrated that the divergent ones (circles, squiggles) don't seem to be able to get done what they are supposed to, but will do all kinds of other things and not care about deadlines.
The divergent people might find the convergent ones cold and narrow minded, not taking human factors and new possibilities into consideration.
A Circle doesn't need a plan or a system and is probably turned off by one. Circles need to talk about whatever is at hand. You need to be flexible working with circles and dealing with whatever is going on. For Circles getting to an overall harmonious situation is more important than getting techniques done right.

And what about this whack one ! ! !
A Square feels most comfortable with a stable environment and clear directions on what to do. A square is conservative and likes things that are regular and orderly. If given a chance, a square will work on a job until it is finished, even if it is repetitious, cumbersome and lonely.
The Square, Rectangle and Triangle are all convergent. They are working towards something specific and finite, and they do it in a logical and systematic way. But they might be lacking in personal creativity.
If you really need something specific done, the Square is the most likely to do it exactly as specified. Squares will work well in the accounting department.
A Square will need fairly specific instructions. Squares will not be happy just floating around, not knowing where things are going. A Square will feel good about being presented with a technique and carrying it through until it is done. It doesn't matter much if it is repetitious, regularity is a source of comfort. For a Square it is a good idea to have more of a formal routine, certain rituals that are repeated.

A Triangle is goal oriented. A Triangle enjoys planning something out and then doing it. Triangles are motivated by the accomplishment. Triangles tend to look at big long-term issues, but might forget the details. When given a task a triangle will set a goal and work on a plan for it.
A Triangle needs to see a goal and needs to see some accomplishments. Triangles appreciate having a chart of steps to follow. Triangles will take great pleasure in checking off each item that gets done. It should always be clear what the underlying intention is. If the direction is agreed upon, the Triangle can be quite flexible in how to get there.
Triangles are convergent thinkers. They are working towards something specific and finite, and they do it in a logical and systematic way. But they might be lacking in personal creativity.
A Triangle might be a good executive, setting goals and making sure they are met.
