| | Really colorful test! | | There's a new fun test in town. What's best is that you can take it multiple times during the day or a week and see how your mood changes.
Give it a try - good fun! Colorgenics Test |

| | Said about me and my colours...
"You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion ... "
I am not sure how to react to this...
Somehow I get the feeling that this exercise will be like reading my horrorscope in the morning newspaper.
Anyone else 'done their colours' ??

| | I did mine, and it got a lot of things right about my personality. These internet tests always freak me out when they tend to be right.  HOW DO THEY KNOW, WHAT THEY KNOW????

| | Sadly you're right sleeper54, the government spies on us too much!!! In fact maybe no one else should do this test. DON'T GIVE IN TO THE GOVERNMENT, AND TELL THEM YOUR FAVORITE COLORS, THIS VALUABLE INFORMATION WILL BE YOUR DOWN FALL IN THE FUTURE!!!! Consider yourself warned.

Rob | Just wait until the next time you go shopping for a new car, or a dishwasher or whatever...what color do you think the salesman/woman/person will push on you, huh ??
Rob is right. Protect your colours !!

| | This was ...educational. I'm very sceptical about generic profiling, especially that in my inflated ego I consider myself an individual first. I run the test four times: two were the true variations of my preferences, two were completely random. Fascinating…
Just wonder how many of you got the following statement: Circumstances are holding you back...forcing you to back off and to forgo all the pleasures, fun and games for the time being. But this is only a temporary situation...and before you even know it...the situation could change.... |

| | | Alright Georgie,
This is a scary test. If I posted what they said about me - which 1000% accurate - you guys might know me a little TOO well.
*sigh*

| | Freaky!
It wasn't a 100 percent dead on for the doom and gloom portion of my current situation......but plenty of things were right.
I took the test a bunch of times to try figure out how they put the five "cut and paste" paragraphs together. (I was relieved to see that when I reversed my color preferences the profile, which was basically PSYCHOPATH, didn't fit.  I'm the opposite of psychopath!  )
When I didn't reverse the preferences but mixed up my first five color choices, this paragraph appeared all of the time: You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.
I'm hardly lonely. The first time I took the test, I skipped over the "lonely" part and focused on the things that did fit.
They say that's how psychics work. Throw as much out there and people will focus on the things that fit and forget the others.
Whatever. It was fun.
Andrea

sleeper54 | That could be true. (And, that is what is so freaky about things like this!)  What hidden truths will they divulge about me. What things will they tell me about myself, that until that moment weren't true...but now, I think they might be true.
OH, I'm falling in their trap!

| | Huh. The stuff I could relate to was right out of a fortune cookie (I need a good relationship to be happy. Gee, you think?)
The rest was pretty paranoid.
