Newly enrolled doctoral candidates were asked to explain ‘why a PhD’ usingLEGO® pieces to help them express beyond words, with constructions, through similes andmetaphors. The use of LEGO® was intentional for two reasons: it gave them a visual andkinesthetic outlet for enhancing and deepening their reflections and message; and it put themat ease, in ‘play mode’, which allowed them to access aspects of their psyche not typicallyexploited in technical conversations. They constructed stories, created characters, andproduced metaphors to channel and express what their motivations, drives and purpose were.The most common types of metaphors used were visual, ontological and spatially related.Their
