So I was just checking out the newly-updated blogs, and came across some guy's post about this Colorgenics personality test. Well, everybody loves a personality test, and lord knows I'm a masochist, so I decided to take it. You look at eight lovely rotating 3-D cubes, each a different color, and pick the ones you are most "in harmony with". (It's a little new-agey, with generic Enya-style music playing in the background. I recommend doing this in a completely darkened room. Very, how you say, Zen?) Anyway, here's what my color choices revealed about me:

You are striving for a life full of activity and experience, and perhaps what is even more, an environment where you would be able to forge a close bond with a person who can offer full emotional fulfilment.

Rejection is a core element in your present lifestyle. This fear of rejection has created a shield around you that makes you unapproachable. You are looking for approval and acknowledgement, but above all you are looking for people who can appreciate you for who and what you are.

The present situation, not of your making, is forcing you to compromise. You will have to hold back and forgo some of your hopes, dreams and aspirations...

You pretend that you are a carefree individual and that nothing really bothers you .. that you are so self-sufficient that whatever problems beset you - they simply flow off you as water flows of a ducks back... You are experiencing considerable stress, trying to conceal yourself from the rest of the world. In actual fact - deep down, you are not at all happy. You feel lonely and you need someone with whom you can "Let your hair down" and share your hopes, dreams and high standards... You are imposing unnecessary self restraint on yourself. You would like to demonstrate the unique quality of your character to all and sundry.

Whatever you have tried to do seems to have gone wrong and you are now quite convinced that there is little point of formulating new objectives and it is this belief that has resulted in the stress and anxiety. You would like to be able to communicate with other people who think as you do. At this time there seems to be no-one on the horizon nor is there any prospect of meeting anyone in the immediate future. But it must be said that you are really a "trier" and indications are that you will .... as indeed you have in the past "bounce back".


Huh.
