The Colour Quiz
Someone posted this on a forum I mod at, and it's really freaked me out. The results are... scarily accurate.
Link - http://www.colorquiz.com/quiz.php Here are my results - Your Existing Situation Needs excitement and constant stimulation. Willingly participates in activities that are thrilling and offer adventure. Your Stress Sources "Demands to be noticed by others as an important individual, needs attention and recognition. His current situation is leaving him dissatisfied. He feels he needs to make friends with those who hold the same high standards he does. Wants to stand out as someone at the top of his class and be admired by others. He needs to feel in control, which makes it difficult to give of himself to another person. He feels isolated and alone but refuses to appear weak and continues to be emotionally distant from others in order to keep his attitude of superiority. " Your Restrained Characteristics Open and emotionally involved in relationships and easily finds satisfaction through sexual activity. Feels unhappy and isolated because he is unable to succeed in finding the cooperation and understanding he desires. His confidence is low but he is unable to admit that is the reason for his avoidance of conflict. Feels it is a situation out of his control and he is making the best of it. "Believes his hopes and dreams are realistic and sticks to them stubbornly, even though circumstances are forcing him to compromise. Very precise in the qualities he seeks in a partner." Your Desired Objective "If motivated, he will easily and quickly learn new skills. Is very intense person who seeks excitement and sexual stimulation. Wants others to see him as an exciting and interesting person, who is also charming and can easily influence others. Uses his charm to increase his chances of success and gain other people's trust." Your Actual Problem Fears others will try to hold him back from achieving his goals and the things he wants. Puts on the charm and can be manipulative towards others hoping he can get them to do as he wishes and making it easier for him to reach his own goals. Your Actual Problem #2 "Impressed by unique and one of a kind things, and by people with exceptional personalities. Tries to takes the characteristics he likes in other people and apply it to himself as well as coming across as a unique individual." Anyhoo, I hope some of you take the quiz and post your results, I think it's dead interesting, as well as scarily accurate. It's totally freaked me out... and utterly fascinated me.

Oh my god. That was terrifyingly spot on. I wish there was one that highlighted the nicer aspects of my personality, though haha. This makes things (me) look a little bleak!

Wow. Well most of this is very true. But hopefully not to the extent that it reads! I don't think I'm that messed up.

(I tried to take the test, but when I clicked on a colour, nothing happened... )
This reminds me of a yearbook my nan bought recently. The idea was that you would go to your birthday, and it would have a description of your personality. Of course, I checked mine, and it worked! Then, just for good measure, I checked about four random dates... all of which also worked, despite being unrelated to my birthday. It's based on a clever trick whereby the comments are sufficiently general that they can apply to anyone (because they're all qualities we find desirable, whether or not we already have them) Other times they're just things everyone feels at one stage or other in their lives. The trick works because the comments are articulated such that you really feel as if you've been spoken to directly. Having said that, humans also have a tendency to associate emotions with colours (we're proficient at personification), so that could also contribute to some of the answers. I studied these ideas briefly in the philosophy subject "Science, Reason & Reality" last year as a part of learning about Karl Popper's Falsificationism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability. 'Twas a fun subject!

Your Existing Situation
"Sensitive and compassionate, but still feeling some strain and pressure. Finds she unwinds and relaxes best with the people who are closest to her. " Your Stress Sources "Delights in the finer things in life and things that appeal to the senses, but can be critical. Is careful and cautious and must believe she is not being manipulated or tricked. Keeps her emotions in check and is always analyzing her relationships in order to know exactly where she stands at all times. Demands complete honesty as a protection against her naturally trusting nature." Your Restrained Characteristics Feels trapped in a helpless situation and is desperately seeking relief. she is able to find pleasure and happiness in sexual activity. "Believes her hopes and dreams are realistic, but needs reassurance from others. Has strict standards when looking for a partner and wants guarantees that she will not be disappointed or lose." Your Desired Objective "Feels that nothing can upset her or phase her and is constantly trying to prove that to herself and others. Believes she is better than any weakness. As a result of her beliefs, she comes across as harsh or severe to those around him, with an overbearing and arrogant attitude." Your Actual Problem Works toward building her position and increasing her self-esteem by viewing her accomplishments (and those of others) critically and harsh judgment. Insists on things being straightforward and clear. OK, this is creepy. A lot of it isn't true, but still. |

Yes, but many of the things on this color quiz aren't desirable. They are problems with the person.

...of course. Throw enough at the wall and something is bound to stick, especially when it IS based on color associations that we all draw. You see, we all want it to work. Because we do, we highlight only the parts that are accurate and we say that it did work. And now you just made me explain the joke, too. Not cool.

I know where you're coming from, Marissa I'm yet to find a quiz that makes me go wow! But some make me raise my eyebrows and chuckle thinking 'Ha, I totally do that.' Unfortunatley, studying media has made me realise everything you and Jaycee have said a few months back. We like to believe that we're individuals but when you look at things, such as the way we consume magazines, we're all amazingly similar. But to me, that makes sense because we're a species. If we were all different I'd think something down the taxonomical line had gone VERY hideously wrong!

Oscar Wilde has a quote I love- most people are other people. I'm not applying it properly here, really, because that's NOT why the color quiz "works"... but I just like name dropping Oscar Wilde.
