		The Gom Jabbar is a fictional device appearing in Frank Herbert's Dune universe.
		According to the Dune novel, the Gom Jabbar is "The high-handed enemy; that specific poison needle tipped with meta-cyanide used by Bene Gesserit Proctors in the death-alternative test of human awareness".
		The term can be used to describe a nemesis, "Meet the Atreides Gom Jabbar" says Paul Muad'dib to Helen Mohiam, referring to himself with regard to him being a creation of the Bene Gesserit that they failed to bring to heel.

	Bene Gesserit
		The gom jabbar is known as "the high handed enemy," a specific poison needle tipped with meta-cyanide.
		The acolyte is forced to endure hideous agony which is caused by a box-like mechanism in which the acolyte places their hand.
		The box inputs burning pain directly into the nerves without doing any physical damage, however, should the acolyte attempt to withdraw her hand before the test is concluded, the Bene Gesserit Proctor stabs the gom jabbar into the acolyte's neck.

		If sitting tight were a matter of putting up one's feet on an ottoman and holding a martini in one's hand, it would be easy.
		Yet sitting tight more closely resembles the gom jabbar: one's hand is in a box of pain, and a poisoned needle will be plunged into his neck if he pulls it out.
		Paradoxically, the gom jabbar would have a higher failure rate if the cost of failure were lower.

	Re: Animal?
		The pain box tests your ability to override your instincts, to act on reason even when under enormous physical or mental stress.
		The animal will instantly remove his hand from the box and die by the gom jabbar -- even knowing that the gom jabbar is there, real, and deadly will not allow him to override the animal instinct to pull away.
		The human will override his instincts -- even if his hand becomes useless, he will survive and perhaps be able to exact "revenge".

		The Gom Jabbar refers only to the needle
		It is the meta-cyanide of the gom jabbar which eventually discriminates between the animal (who removes their hand from the box) and the human (who does not).
		Therefore I still stand by my assertion that it is integral to the test and in itself - a test.
