a test!

[pixiefied]

take the colorgenics test and see what your favorite colors say about you!

[SSJ4 Gogitta]

This is a test. It is only a test.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Had this been an actual emergency, you would have received instructions as to what to do and where to go.

[Some1]

interesting:

At this particular time you are feeling the results of extreme stress and you are seeking a 'way out' but you are pushing too hard. Obviously you need peace, tranquility and contentment. Your temperament is such that you are hoping, unrealistically perhaps, that your desires will shortly be fulfilled (even if at this time you are not quite sure what those true aspirations may be!).

I can't dispute a majority of what it says, except possibly that "pushing too hard" part...that just doesn't make any sense at all.

EDIT: having taken it 5 times, submitting a different response each time, I've yet to find one result that didn't seem to apply to me in some way...perhaps it's just the "fortune cookie" effect.

meh, that's what it all is.

i got the same as you though.

[Some1]

Yeah, I knew something was up when I entered my original reply in reverse order and it gave me a result that fit better than the original...in theory the result should have been the complete opposite of the first, but instead it was mostly identical.

[Xerxes]

The whole thing would have some semblence of scientific credibility, but that is completely blown by the links to astrological and psychological profiles. Total bunk.

[Xerxes]

Yes, it is people like Sheryl Crow who would pay 20 dollars for the "expanded reading"...

[zootm]

to be fair, i found this one a lot better, and of nearly identical basis. plus the fact the cubes don't spin around scarily.

It's got the same problem as the other one...I took it once following the directions, and got something that fit reasonably well, then took it again just clicking on random colors, and I got something different that fit just as good...the "fortune cookie" effect at its finest:

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.

[zootm]

i did the second one randomly, and got something i couldn't relate to at all... maybe i'm just remarkably un-cynical...

[bluetape2k1]

WOW so true!!!


You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfillment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realize the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from!

Compromise is the name of the game at this time and it is the only way you can avoid being deprived of the love and affection you so rightly deserve -so soften up a little, be flexible.

You are trying to prove yourself - not only to yourself but also to everyone around you. There is much that you would like to say and do but the situation warrants self-restraint and that is the last thing that you have on your mind. It would seem that you have an unsatisfied need to ally yourself with others whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to stand out from the crowd. This is subjecting you to considerable stress but you tend to stick to your attitudes despite lack of appreciation. Of course, you are finding the situation uncomfortable and would like nothing better but to break away from it but you don't like the idea of compromise. Your main problem is that you are unable to resolve the situation because you continually postpone making the necessary decisions. You feel that if you make the wrong choice this would lead to such opposition that you would not be able to command the esteem of others. It is essential that those around you are prepared to comply with your wishes.

You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.

Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh.

WHAT THE.....

[Some1]

i did the second one randomly, and got something i couldn't relate to at all... maybe i'm just remarkably un-cynical...

I dunno...I can even view bluetape's in such a way that it would seem to apply to me, and there's at least one line that pretty much EVERYBODY would feel applies to them:

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement.

...do you know of anybody who DOESN'T enjoy having fun?

EDIT: and what is this about allying oneself with people whose "standards are as high as your own"? Both mine and bluetape's have it...wtf does it even mean???

[zootm]

that's brilliant

"you do not enjoy doing things that you do not take pleasure in the partaking of"

[Xerxes]

Your Existing Situation
Not only considers his demands minimal, but also regards them as imperative. Sticks to them stubbornly and will concede nothing.

Your Stress Sources
Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that he has a right to anything he might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against him. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees himself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince himself that his failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity but is inclined to be emotionally withdrawn, which prevents him from becoming deeply involved.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.

Your Desired Objective
Unwilling to participate and wishes to avoid all forms of stimulation. Has had to put up with too much of a tiring or exhausting nature and now desires protection and noninvolvement

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 tries to escape from this by withdrawing and protecting himself with an attitude of cautious reserve. Moody and depressed.

Your Actual Problem #2
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects him to agitation, irritation, and acute distress from which he tries to escape by refusing further direct participation. He confines himself to a cautious approach and a concealed determination to get his own way in the end.
----------

That's pretty much it right there...

[hgnis]

jeez and I thought I was the only one with a messed up result.

[zootm]

the result that i got that i thought was quite good:

Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which he imposes of himself or by his own choice and decision.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Has high emotional demands and is willing to involve himself in a close relationship, but not with any great depth of feeling.Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.*

Your Desired Objective
Alert and keenly observant. Is seeking fresh avenues offering greater freedom and the chance to make the most of them. Wants to prove himself and to achieve recognition. Striving to bridge the gap which he feels separates him from others.

Feels restricted and prevented from progressing; seeking a solution which will remove these limitations.

*everyone gets this

The "actual problem #2" was the scariest part for me... right on the nose with "Depleted Vitality" and "Concealed Determination"...

[n_ick2000]

Wow, this is mostly true for me

Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that he has a right to anything he might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against him. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees himself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince himself that his failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.

Urgently in need of rest, relaxation, peace, and affectionate understanding. Feels he has been treated with a lack of consideration and is upset and agitated as a result. Regards his situation as intolerable as long as his requirements are not complied with.

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.

Xerxes's quiz thingy said:

Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity

Well what guy isn't?! Mine was right on too, but I'm beginning to think it is just the fortune teller thing. With all things, preference can indicate certain personality traits, but since it's lumped so much, I'm not sure if it has actual merit. They probably just wrote crap like that and used the preference theory, but made sure that they slipped stuff in that could hit everybody. Mine said I needed to feel cared for. Again, what person doesn't like to be cared for, especially a girl? It was still fun to take though. And mine did seem to fit impecibly well. You never know.

Lots of love,
Mea

[Orgone_Man]

this did not work for me. It said that I was stressed out and I am as calm as a sleeping deer in the morning dew.

[insomniac]

Your Existing Situation
Sensitive and understanding but under some strain; needs to unwind in the company of someone close to him.


Your Stress Sources
Sensitive, and susceptible to gentleness and delicacy of feeling, with a desire to blend into some sort of mystic fusion of erotic harmony. However, this desire remains unsatisfied due to the lack of a suitable partner or adverse conditions, and he keeps a strict and watchful control on his emotional relationships as he needs to know precisely where he stands. Is fastidious, esthetic, and has a cultured taste which allows him to form and express his own taste and judgment, especially in the fields of art and artistic creativity. Strives to ally with others who can assist him in his intellectual or artistic growth.


Your Restrained Characteristics
Unhappy at the resistance he feels whenever he tries to assert himself. Indignant and resentful because of these setbacks, but gives way apathetically and makes whatever adjustments are necessary so that he can have peace and quiet.
Very exacting in the standards he applies to his choice of a partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in his sex life.




Your Desired Objective
Considers the existing circumstances disagreeable and over-demanding. Refuses to allow anything to influence his point of view.


Your Actual Problem
His natural ability to examine everything with critical discrimination has been distorted into an attitude of harsh disapproval, which opposes and denigrates without regard to the real facts.


Your Actual Problem #2
The need for esteem--for the chance to play some outstanding part and make a name for himself--has become imperative. He reacts by insisting on being the center of attention, and refuses to play an impersonal or minor role.

So true...

[eleet-2k2]

You have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Your ultimate goal has been the realization of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust. It has often been said that 'True love is just around the corner' and - if you haven't found it as yet - you possibly soon will.

In the past there have been - and maybe there still are - many things that you have had to do without. You have now decided to set your sights on a position or situation that could give you greater prestige and which will afford you considerable self esteem.

You are feeling under considerable pressure and you are being forced to make concessions. You are not particularly happy with this state of affairs but you feel that you have no alternative. If you were to force issues you would be left out or completely ignored by one and all.

For whatever the reason, you find it extremely difficult to sustain relationships - that is to sustain them in the manner that you would wish. You are a very gentle sort of person, full of feeling, sensitivity and susceptible to love and affection, looking and longing for a partner with whom you can enjoy 'All things bright and beautiful' - someone with whom you can seek out the more esoteric things of life. But up to now this person has only existed in your imagination. You are very choosy, appreciative, refined and extremely artistic in temperament and it is your hope to seek others who will allow you to form and express your own taste and judgement and who at the same time may assist you in your intellectual or artistic growth.

You are inclined to be too trusting and you feel that you need to be on your guard against the possibility that your endeavors and actions may be misunderstood. Too often you have been taken advantage of and you have been mentally abused. Now you are seeking a relationship which can provide peace of mind, where you can be yourself and not have the need to put on a false front.

You are completely worn out and you are not in the mood for any further demands on your resources. The situation - such as it is - has rendered you quite helpless, unable to continue the mental battle that you have been pursuing for some considerable time. Enough is enough. All you would like to do now would be to have some time for yourself, to find a peaceful situation where you can recuperate in your own time.

That's pretty accurate.
