What does color say about you?

Acidinmyfridge introduced me to this color quiz. A psychological analysis of sorts, through chosing colors, or by the order in which you choose them, the good folks at ColorQuiz can allegedly tell something about you. I took the test and here are my results.
Your Existing Situation

Readily participates in things that provide excitement or stimulation. Wants to feel exhilarated.

Your Stress Sources

The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he normally imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticize his behavior with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Willing to participate and to allow himself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

Circumstances are forcing him to compromise, to restrain his demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things he wants.



Your Desired Objective

Desires a tranquil, peaceful state of harmony offering quiet contentment and a sense of belonging.

Your Actual Problem

Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of his hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. He is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting him from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

Your Actual Problem #2

Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.


I cannot say how accurate this might be. Many times tests that seem to provide insight are simply so broad in their statements that anyone can pick out what they like while ignoring those areas with which they disagree.

An interesting experience in any rate, I would suggest that you read all the instructions and follow them carefully. Although the test hasn't any difficult questions there is one point where you are asked to wait for the timer to count down to zero. I almost didn't see this.

The reason why such tests seem flawed to me: the description is pretty accurate for just about any person. As you noted, the statement applies to most human beings.

I liked this test because there weren't any questions. Everything seemed to be just random clicks of the mouse. Pretty cool!
