Color and Emotions

I just went to this website and took this color test to see how my color choices could reveal my emotions. Just wonder how the heck they come up with this? I think one could just read into the final answer just about anything they wanted. I'm going to take the test again and just pick some random color and see what it says.

Here is the link:

and here is my Emotion page.... http://www.colorgenics.com/color.php...c5=6&c6=7&c7=0

Well, the second choice colors reveal emotions that I have as well.

Guess I must be a split personality...but we knew that, didn't we?

Thumbs up

my friend has a book by the person that invented this test, which i can't remember his name right now. but anyway...to take the test CORRECTLY as intended by the author, you must take it TWICE. the reason is that we have a tendency to react to colors immediately and that that isn't TRUELY what colors attrack us. the second test is said to relate more closely to our TRUE self.

so i would recommend doing this test twice and seeing if the second test sums up you better, afterall that is how the test is meant to be taken.

that also might be why, llis, that you felt like you had a split personality...

anyway, my firend and i have kept records of our test results over the last 10 years and its amazing how accurate this test actually is. i've seen this test administered to people that have basically freaked out because it was so accurate.

so i give a warning about it, if you don't want a psychological insight into yourself...don't do it.

Neat test. Took it twice and the second was more accurate.. interesting how the colors i chose related to my painting palette, going from muted colors (browns/grey) and clicking the garish colors last (red and yellow, yuck)

Okay, here is my real point.... the second test I did was picking random colors with no thought to what they were. Actually, I just clicked what ever was the closest to the next. Then.... I viewed my fortune cookie.

Guess what, everytime I do this, and get a different message, the message seems to fit me. LOL

As do you astrological directions in the daily Newspaper, I'm sure.

Be somewhat suspect!
