The color test I wrote about yesterday seems quite simple in application as well as result compared to this one http://www.colorquiz.com/quiz.php

I will directly quote my assessment. You will notice the switch in pronouns from "his" to "her" and a couple of other grammar issues. Makes me wonder where they found the text for the results.

Your Existing Situation

"Creative and emotional, looking for ways to further expand those qualities. Looking for a partner who enjoys the same activities. Seeking adventure and new and unusual activities."
Well, who IS NOT looking for a partner to enjoy the same activities? Seeking adventure? Hmmm...I might enjoy travel but I am not the adventurous type. Not if you compare me to a sister-in-law who plans vacations around where the most difficult white-water raft courses run.

Your Stress Sources

"His stubbornness and will-power has become weakened due to current difficulties. Feels overworked and emotionally drain; as if all her work is for nothing and she is getting nowhere. The situation is very real to her and she wants to escape, but has no idea how to do so or how to even approach the situation rationally."
Well, I do not think that is me at all. Not even a little bit. I am a very happy person and I take a lot of satisfaction in my hobbies. I do NOT want to escape!

Your Restrained Characteristics

Current events leave her feeling forced into compromise in order to avoid being cut off from affection or future cooperation.
No, not really.

Your Desired Objective

"Highly optimistic and outgoing personality. Loves to learn new and exciting things, and craves new interests. Looking for a well-rounded life full of success and new experiences. Does not allow herself to be overcome with negative thoughts or self-doubt. Takes life head on, with enthusiasm. "
I completely agree. Since these statements seem like compliments, do you think most people would agree? Is it a case of newspaper astrology?

Your Actual Problem

"Feeling tension and stress brought on by situations which are out of her control, leaves her feeling helpless, anxious, and in adequate. she escapes the situation by throwing herself into new activities and insisting she get her own way. Appears to be in control of himself, which she isn't, leading to outbursts of anger."
 
Hmm. Not so complimentary, but I have to say there is a kernel of truth here. Did you take this test? How did you do?

I took some color related "personality tests". I read The Noble Wife blog and she mentioned that she had taken some of these tests. Now, I don't want you to think I believe these to have any solid scientific foundation, but as with most personality tests, I found it fun and the results interesting. Kind of like the way I feel about newspaper astrology. Which, I have not been following because I do not take a daily newspaper.

Anyway, here is the first test. 

By accident, I pressed enter before I did any of this test and it assigned a result to me--PINK. Not my favorite color but I AM a glass half-full person.

Your Results: Pink
Pink is your personality color. You see the cup as half full rather than half empty. Playful, intelligent, and somewhat shy describes your personality. Pleasing others makes you happy and you may become sad if you feel others do not see you in the pink glow of happiness.

I did go ahead and "take" the test and came up with a color I do like very much, blue-violet. They got the color right, but I do not find myself to be laden with so many negative emotions. And, I think I might be a "jump right in" person. What do you think?

Your Results: Blue Violet
Blue colors your world with emotion. You seldom jump right in, preferring to stand back and watch people and situations closely. Blue people are calm, but can also spiral into sadness. With so much emotion, tears of happiness, sadness, anger, or frustration are quite common.

This site provided a break down of the participant results. I wonder how many of these were results of people who accidentally pressed the ENTER button too soon. How did you do on the test? Have the cumulative results changed since I took the test?
18% Pink     60% Blue Violet      22% Green       0% Red

I took two other tests. Come back tomorrow to see which one I took next and view my results.
