Colorgenics - A test that's worth the INTJ's time.

Have a go at the test above, and trust me when I say it is definitely worth your time.

At first glance after receiving your results, you'd probably think it's just another one of those silly quizzes like 'What Car Are You?' et cetra. I'd like to assure you that it is scientifically creeded, and the methods involved by which your results are processed are not randomly derived. It will relay to you your present mood and even gives you helpful advices, even though its may not 100% precise (just like the MBTI).

Last night I took the test twice (being the skeptic I am). The first time was when I came home after four hours of studying history at a coffeeshop, and I had a really hard time because I just couldn't see the link between my lecturer's notes and the theme of my studies. I felt inadequate intellectually, and thought my intelligence was declining because usually I'd always be able to grasp concepts almost immediately upon reading. And the test results were exactly that! What's more, is that within the same results, it actually predicted that I was probably a leader of a project and I was having a hard time with my situation. Which is true, because I've been extremely busy fufilling the extra duties my teammates couldn't do.

The second time I did the test, I was sorely missing my ex-girlfriend. And the results stated that I was yearning for an affectionate relationship. It struck me really hard. I was thinking at first that the initial results were mere coincidence. But two times an accurate description has totally ruled that out.

So yeah, perhaps my account of it may not be very persuading, but hey, give it a shot! You'll be amazed.

[AgentofGaming]

Well supposedly for results you know first and then you fit it to yourself accuracy can be disputable. Since most people have problems in their life, starting off with you have an issue seems coincidental...

but I do agree it can fit pretty well...

You are trying desperately to prove yourself. You are going at it hammer and tongs in order to get your own way.
can perfectly describe my search for summer employment, yet could match something else.

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable.
Well supposedly this is another problem a lot of people contend with

but yes it did hit on a couple zones of things I've never told other people about. So I suppose I'm on the approve side for this.

Added Later
If someone gets the same result as me, would you care to share and explain how the above relates to your situation? I'm also interested in testing the validity of this

[Homini Lupus]

This is my result

{You are trying to evade your problems and difficulties and tensions by 'leaping before you look'. This could be construed as a 'panic' situation and panic is an irrational fear - 'loss of control'. You are desperately seeking a way out of it all and because of any headstrong decisions that you may be making this could lead to an extremely dangerous situation. Slow down - matters seem to find a way of resolving themselves. Without sounding complacent remember that 'all's well that ends well'.

You are a leader in every sense of the word. You know where you are going and you know what you need to do in order to get there. You exercise an inherent initiative in overcoming obstacles and difficulties. You either hold, or wish to achieve, a position of authority by means of which full control can be exerted over events.

You feel very lonely and frustrated at this time but your shyness and modesty precludes you from establishing any deep form of relationship. You feel rather isolated and alone. You are egocentric and you believe that you are always right - well maybe you are - but you have a short fuse and are likely to take offence for the slightest reason.

As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.

There is that inherent fear that you may be prevented from attaining the better things in life - those things that you consider essential to your well-being. So you are prepared to try everything to prove to yourself that whatever you do or try will go wrong. This destructive attitude could come under the heading of 'a self fulfilling prophesy'. This belittling yourself is your method of disguising how hopeless and what a waste of time you feel that everything is. So now turn it about. As you 'think', so you are... So 'imagine' yourself successful. 'Pretend', 'act it out' and you may be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. }

It looks quite true but I'm not sure if those answer are enough decisive to avoid forer effect... after all many "herd people" think they think out of the herd.

[cctip8895]

Ummm... I agree with most of it, actually. Weird.

You are feeling really miserable at this time and you'd like to form a relationship with someone with whom you could really communicate. At the same time, whoever it may be, that special 'someone' must not conflict with your own belief system or ideals. This makes for tough going - but it would seem that the situation is only transitory. It will soon pass.

Being a likeable person you get on well with neighbours and friends. You don't need anything to 'Rock your boat'. You want to 'love' and to be loved'.

At times one is burdened with more than one's fair share of problems and this would appear to be your situation at present. But you are adamant - you know what you wish to achieve - and by giving a little and taking a little you may well find that the realization of your dreams could become a reality.

You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.

You are greatly impressed by individuality and have interest in people who have outstanding qualities. You try to imitate those people that you admire and their characteristics, hoping that you will be able to display similar qualities in your own personality.

[melon]

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape. Your mental state of mind necessitates that you need to change your thinking patterns. Remember, if one particular modus operandi doesn't seem to work, then try something different.

You are not an argumentative sort of person and 'rather than fight - you'd switch' (an old cigarette ad cliche). But when you try to assert yourself - as sometimes you may try to do - you meet with so much resistance and effrontery that manifests itself so obviously that you become hurt, indignant and resentful. So in order to have peace and quiet you tend to become inhibited. You keep it all to yourself but deep down, you 'feel' and 'hurt' a lot.

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.

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


Completely wrong. Although the description seems to be paining with an extremely large brush, it doesn't fit me at all. Then, again, the test is based on picking colors; I wouldn't expect it to be accurate in the slightest. ;)

[IgnoranceIsKind]

I think the logic behind the color picking is to ascertain your mood on a subconscious level; somehow probing into feelings that aren't definitive or perceptible by your five senses, etc.

I do urge a series of testing in order to prove its validity. The reason of how I came to become convinced of its genuinity was that it gave me two different but accurate accounts, at two different times of the day - yet its time difference was only by a few hours.

If you were to select the colors by random, then the results would be derived accordingly. Melon, perhaps if you gave it another shot, and this time picking the colors as prescribed compliantly, I dare say you would receive something more accurate.

[curiousjane]

Ouch.

You are constantly trying to make a favourable impression and endeavouring to be considered as that someone 'special'. You are pretty good at using various tactics and strategies that give the impression that you are in control. Maybe you are - but you are constantly watching to see whether or not your endeavours are truly appreciated. Be careful... just as 'you' may be endeavouring to influence others, 'they' may indeed be influencing you.

You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape. Your mental state of mind necessitates that you need to change your thinking patterns. Remember, if one particular modus operandi doesn't seem to work, then try something different.

The situation at this time is one of considerable distress. You feel trapped and you are looking for some way out. You can find solace in the arms of someone who cares so long as there is no long-term emotional involvement.

Your stress and anxiety are a result of an emotional disappointment. It could well be that the emotional relationship is no longer running smoothly and you have come to the end of your tether. On the one hand you would like to free yourself from this relationship altogether, yet on the other hand, you don't want to lose anything nor risk the uncertainty of throwing away something - something that's precious, something that could be the 'Real Thing'. Perhaps for the first time in your life you really don't know which way to go and it is these contradictory emotions that are causing you the untold stress. You are pretending to the world that you don't care but even this air of pretence is causing you much heartache.

Sometimes one fears that its not worth formulating new ideas and projects because whatever you seem to have done in the past has never worked out and you are tired of, as they say, banging your head against a brick wall. No one seems to care. So now you are trying to get away from it all by withdrawing into a 'fantasy land' but unfortunately 'fantasy land' is just that and sooner or later you will have to return to reality so why delay the inevitable? When you do return, you will find that the situation is not as tough as perhaps you thought it was.

The first part is only a bit true. The relationship part is a bit true. I could have called the rest of the results, because I knew I was picking "dark" colors first. I'm worn out today, and mourning. I couldn't pick red first.

However,
You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape.
is true. (Work and confusion.)

And
The situation at this time is one of considerable distress.
Could not be truer. I have had one death in the family in the last month. I am expecting another within the week. And I fear a third, due to my mother's cancer.

I'm not trying to escape to fantasy land. I am trying to escape into real life. But
Perhaps for the first time in your life you really don't know which way to go
is certainly accurate. Perhaps eerily so.

And I am almost scared to admit it but
you don't want to lose anything nor risk the uncertainty of throwing away something - something that's precious, something that could be the 'Real Thing'
hits a little too close to home.

But I am only too aware, as someone trained in graphic arts, the power of color. There is proof of some psychological affects of color. Some people are more in tuned to it than others.

I'm going to take the test again, as an experiment, and pick the colors I would normally choose. And post the results again.

[Jakalwarrior]

Mine was a non match too. I just picked which colors I liked at the moment based on how I feel.

[Mozzes]

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment 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 realise 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 are working extremely hard - perhaps even above and beyond the call of duty. You are preparing for the future and therefore trying to build a firm trouble-free foundation upon which you may base all of your dreams and aspirations.

You have a high opinion of yourself. It is perhaps because of this self-centredness that you become exasperated when you feel that your needs are misinterpreted by those around you. When this happens - and it does quite often - you feel that there is no-one that can understand the way you feel and it is because of this egocentric self that you are quick to take offence.

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.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

Quite accurate for me, but as others have pointed out, the results are perhaps too generalized.

[IgnoranceIsKind]

I could say the same about the MBTI. It's the level of accuracy, not precision. And just like the MBTI, there may be some parts that do not fit you - yet it doesn't mean it's any less valid!

I really have no idea why I'm advocating this so much :suspicious:

:laugh:

That's true though. I find all tests(MBTI, Enneagram, etc) interesting and I consider them during introspection, but I'm uncertain to what extent I've incorporated them into decision-making.

[rwyatt365]

You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.
A little too true.

You are finding the present situation extremely demanding and you're having difficulty coping with it. A great deal of strain is involved and you would really like everyone and everything to leave you alone for a while, just so that you can put everything into perspective.
New job, lots of expectations. Plus a big bombshell (my lead developer is leaving in 2 weeks for a new job) dropped in my lap.
Everything seems to have gone wrong and the situation at this time is such that you are not quite sure which way to turn. So it would appear that you are 'holding back', re-consolidating your position and relinquishing all fun and games for the time being.
True, to some extent, except the 'holding back' part. I've decided that I'm going to enjoy my life despite the crap - no time like the present!
You are feeling full of uncertainty and worrying over what you consider as missed opportunities. This is causing considerable stress and tension. You feel that there must be more to life than the constant pressures and anxieties - that surely life must hold far more opportunities than that which it has to date presented to you. You sincerely believe that there must be a simpler way to tap life's hidden recourses and should you be able to find that way - you could achieve your hearts desire. It's the not knowing 'how' that is affording you the constant worry. You are constantly probing and seeking - trying to ensure that at all times you are on your guard against missing any opportunity. 'Enough is enough'. You are anxious to avoid further setbacks. You are strenuously trying to make sure that you will not be overlooked and you badly need security.
I'm feeling pissed off over lost opportunities. It's causing tensions because I know 'how' I just can't convince others that this is the right direction to travel (being married is a bitch when others won't listen to reason). True, I will not be overlooked, and I will get what I want - by any means necessary.
You are putting on a show - a facade. You are a master of demonstrating considerable charm in the hope that this can or will lead to better things. Deep down you are fearful that this may not work and that you may have to employ other strategies in order to realise all your ambitions.
Putting up a facade? Certainly! Using trickery to achieve my goals? You betcha! Fearful? Only in that I may have to 'go solo' in order to be where I want to be, and I can't afford the consequences of that right now. So I play the game and bide my time.

[IgnoranceIsKind]

I think by far, as you guys can see, most accounts apart from a few, have been to a considerably large extent accurate. Does anyone still have anything to say about its validity? I'd gladly take up your debate! It's a friendly challenge so don't worry; I won't cuddle you to death like the NFs would.

[Aronnax]

Sure, I'll debate it. I just spent ~15 minutes playing with different outcomes and concluded it's basically a horoscope generator. Every outcome has some form of common human issue (misunderstood, stressed, confused) and a common compliment (you're creative, you're loving, you're independent).

I assigned a number to each color, created random numerical permutations and tested them (to remove my influence on color selection). I found that I could relate to every outcome in some manner.

[curiousjane]

Aronnax, that was quite a bit of effort you put into your test. Maybe you should take the show on the road and use the same format to generate horoscopes for fun and profit. ;)

On the flip side, it could be argued that the reason it seems universal is because we all universally are facing challenges, even when we do not admit it to others. We identify with the statements.

There is still scientific evidence for the choice of colors and the physiological and psychological impact a single color or combination of colors can have on a person. For instance, red is a stimulant and can increase the amount of acid released in the stomach and influence hunger. Hence why fast food restaurants use it in their color schemes. It is socially associated with power. Choosing a red box could indicate a desire for power and activity.

Yellow is an attention getter. It has been proven to lift moods and improve attitudes. It also is used culturally as a warning signal. Choosing a yellow box could indicate a desire to be happy, or simply mirror the cheerfulness of the chooser.

Blue and Green are relaxing. They have both been shown to slow heart rates and relieve stress. Choosing a blue box could indicate a desire or state of relaxation or "coolness."

Etc...

They do say colors are tied into moods of humans. if you put a person in a blue room they'll feel calmer, a red room, quicker to anger..that sort of thing. it's probably taken that and generated a bunch of wishy washy horoscopes based on the general mood that a color is likely to be associated with. I think mood rings are hipper....

Right, but that doesn't give the test validity. it just gave them a basis for their bs. Why not just say. you choose blue. you're probably feeling tranquil? you chose orange... i bet you're feeling hyper.. so on and so forth. moods are constantly in flux in a human. they are not something you can base a personality description on. it's just forers effect in action

Oh, I totally agree with you. Just stirring the pot. ;D

[Aronnax]

We can make subconscious connections between colors and feelings but using those tentative connections to gain deep insight is a bit suspect.

I didn't like how general the responses were or that there's a "I can fix you if you buy my $17 CD" link below the message so I performed a test. I would have kept my mouth shut to avoid disrupting the thread but IgnoranceIsKind did ask for a debate...

[catd]

You have a vivid imagination and this is good. Great inventors, explorers all had inventive, imaginative minds. Your friends and acquaintances may consider you over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. So what ? this is a part of your character and charm.

True - don't know if it's charming or annoying though :)

You are feeling very disillusioned at this time and you feel that you are being left out of things. You know - or you think you know - what you want, but you seem unable to exert the effort to achieve your objectives. As a consequence, you are feeling left out and neglected. You would like to be afforded greater security and fewer problems.

Everyone, sooner or later gets that feeling that one has been cut off from reality, cut off from everything that's going on around them. It usually happens when there is a complete lack of understanding and co-operation - be it from friends, family or loved ones. So what can one do about it? Instead of pondering as to what the future may hold, do something different. Make a cup of coffee. Have a shower. Read a book. Watch your favourite soap opera. Because as soon as you become involved in something different, the original disassociated feelings will dissipate.

True

From every direction there appear to be unwarranted restrictions on your freedom of action and this is producing considerable stress. You're really looking for independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoiding any obligations or anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressures and you would like nothing better than to escape from them but you tend to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. Whichever way you turn you are being frustrated. You need to be free to do your 'thing' in your own way.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!

Very true

[SevenOfSpades]

Took this test twice in 20 minutes, got two different results, both of which were very generalised and indicated that I had some insecurities around others which I needed to fix, else I'd become 'extremely introverted and cut off from society' as some sort of punishment for going unfixed.
I've always been this way so I don't particularly care.

[Trinity]

Party poopers Aronnax/Sos :p


Meh, I'm a major sceptic of anything like this but I find it amusing none the less.

Utmost in your mind is success. You are constantly seeking stimulation and a life full of experience. You are trying to 'grow' and above all you need to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt. You are an enthusiastic individual, full of life with the desire to live intensely. You like contact with others and are enthusiastic by nature. You are receptive to anything new, modern or intriguing. Your interests are many and you are likely to expand your fields of activities. You are optimistic about the future and you deserve every success because deep down you are a 'winner'.

:suspicious: What kind of contact are they talking about? Enthusiastic, I'm often apathetic, but I can be enthusiastic about my apathy? Many interests? Is this because I constantly change my obsessions?

The rest is cool and fitting. Heh, deep down I'm a Winner :thumbsup:

You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.
No way! I’m the most open minded 'debater' I know. Always determined, never stubborn.

You are a demanding egocentric and therefore quick to take offence. This attitude makes people feel somewhat inadequate when in your company and so it is no wonder that at times you feel alone and unwanted.
Take you’re best shot, I literally cannot remember the last time I felt ‘offended’ but others should feel inadequate! Alone yes, unwanted no.

You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.
Um, no. I mostly keep things to myself but I have some very close friends who see the real me. Good news is they mostly like it, probably because, as discovered earlier, deep down I'm a Winner!

You really like doing what you do and, more than that, you like yourself. Your attitude to work and to life is that 'If its not fun - then don't do it'. You want to be liked and respected, not for who you are but for what you are - and it seems to be working.
Huh? Why would I want to be liked and respected for ‘what’ I am not 'who' I am? That's absurd! And isn't that a direct contradiction to the previous statement saying I want to be admired for being myself? Confused *scratches head to demonstrate confused effect*

"If its not fun - then don't do it" – absolutely, that’s why I’m here right now and not working! ;D


My personal insight;
I chose red because I love red stuff – it’s so emotive and passionate...
Then I chose yellow because I like yellow stuff - it's so cheerful and unassuming...
Then I chose green because I like grass...
Therefore I’m a winner!

If others want their colours read send $10 to my PayPal account and I'll post the response here!

naw, it's far more amusing for your input. don't apologize.

[Homini Lupus]

I've just noticed that you can see all the different outcomes by changing the url: ti is formed by a cx=y&cz=w.... where cx is choice number x and y is the number of colour. This also means that the window "your profile is being generated" is just for show. I'm not going to reverse engineer that test but this is the basis of how it works, but by example I'm quite sure that to them black=stress (i've played it around a bit).

[Antares]

IgnoranceIsKind: My preference of colors have always been such. Blue and Green are always my favorite. Red and Orange are always among the hated colors. Yellow, Grey, Black and Violet are a subject of indifference. I don't think it makes sense that 'it changes with the mood'.

You are a very sensitive person and you try hard (perhaps a little too hard) to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers. But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired and you are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. Stop trying so hard.

You are full of stress at this time. It would seem that you are having more than your fair share of trials and tribulations and you are looking for a way out. You are not quite sure which way to go but the advice is - 'Stop trying so hard'.

We are all conditioned by our environment and as such we respond to people's perception of ourselves, but you feel that conditions are not right at this time. You are experiencing certain reservations that are precluding you to develop a particular relationship, business or personal, that is being offered. It is 'make your mind up time' - the decision is all yours, but whatever decision you make, it will be the right one.

The tension that you are experiencing at this time is perhaps due to physical and/or mental frustration. It would appear that you are not appreciated and as a consequence, the situation is most disagreeable. You seek personal recognition and the appreciation of others to compensate for the lack of like minded people with whom to ally yourself. You would like to surrender and merge with others but your inherent self-restraint makes it difficult for you to open up. This disturbs you as you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You want to be liked, admired and appreciated for yourself.

You need to be respected as an exceptional individual. This is the only way that you can hope to achieve the status that you wish to achieve. You set yourself very high standards - and come what may - you abide by them

[athenian200]

Hmm... reminds me of "ColorQuiz." But that one seemed accurate also, if I was careful, so...

You want to be regarded as an exiting and interesting personality able to persuade others to comply with your beliefs and ideas. You are charming and able to influence other people who come into your sphere of influence. You like mental stimulation and you are the sort of person who is prepared to 'try anything once'. Your confidence is so much so that others are often swept away by your enthusiasm.

Being a somewhat gentle, emotional and sensitive person, you are at this time experiencing a considerable amount of tension. What you really need is someone who can be close to you and to listen to what you have to say.

You are a perfectionist in everything that you put your hand to. You are demanding and very exacting in the standards you apply to your choice of colleagues and friends -perhaps you demand too much from people. That perfection you seek in a particular person is illusive - perhaps it does not even exist.

Unacceptable restrictions have been forced upon you and this is resulting in severe frustration and stress. You are looking for independence and consequently you shy away from any restriction and avoid obligations of anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressure and want to escape from it so that you can obtain what you need, but unfortunately at this particular moment in time you lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this.

Trying to cope with conditions which you think are beyond your capabilities has led to considerable anxiety and stress. You now feel that you are not capable of coping with this situation and indeed any situation which could arise from what you consider to be your personal inadequacy.

Accurate, except for the confidence and "try anything once." The stress is there, but I don't feel it's beyond my capabilties to deal with it. Although I am afraid right now that it may be beyond my capabilities to do what's neccessary to allieviate the stress, that's only because it's something I've never done before (I'm considering getting a job, and I've never been employed before). If I'm honest with myself, I think there's a good chance I'll be able to do it if I focus.

[Beery Swine]

I didn't see any instructions so I just picked them in the order of which color I liked the best to least. What are you really supposed to do?

Well, for the way I did it, here's the results and the bold parts apply to me, the italicized might apply, and the normal text does not apply, gaps in sentences means that those specific words that aren't recognized are n/a:

You are trying to prove to others that nothing can really affect you. You are pretending to be stoical - indifferent to pain or pleasure and indeed even superior to any form of weakness. As a result, more often than not, you unfortunately act with undue harshness or severity by adopting an autocratic and self-willed attitude.

Always anxious to accept the role of the leader, as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.

Loneliness is soul destroying and at this time you feel lost and lonely, perhaps it is because you feel so frustrated that you are prepared to go out of your way to become emotionally involved with someone who could accept you for what you are. You are egocentric, antagonistic and quick to take offence, although it must be said, you can control your pent-up up emotion and thus avoid open conflict.

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 off 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.

You are presently worried about your future and you feel that whatever you do will go wrong. At this time you are your own worst enemy. All the disappointment that you have experienced, coupled with the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals, have led to anxiety. You would like recognition and a position of trust but you are concerned that these hopes and dreams may not be realised. You are very argumentative and insistent that you are right - maybe you are - but you are pushing too hard. Take it easy, let go, and smile. Smiling and agreeing with people works wonders - try it and see.

[Wapiti]

The test is obviously flawed, there is no PINK, the closest color is that purplish/pink, unacceptable. There also was no M&M green, just that dark green. Therefore my results were wrong, repeatedly all 27 times I took it.

[azelismia]

bored, you must be..

I didn't take it once. reading this thread convinced me it was a total waste of time.

[Rei]

The first part of the result was true.
The second part said something about me not feeling appreciated, and that is absolutely false. No, it's not even true deep down... I think I reflect enough to know if I feel unappreciated.

I agree with Aronnax...

[TheLastMohican]

I took the test four times. The first time, I tried to choose the colors honestly (though feeling in "harmony" with a color is a foreign concept to me), and the result was fairly accurate, especially the first sentence. It was designed for an older person, it seemed, but it still applied to me in a certain context.
Some parts of the result were very far off (according to that, I "wear my heart on my sleeve" and am becoming more introverted currently, both of which are the opposite of reality).

I then took the test in a random manner three times; each time, I clicked the colors very rapidly without thinking about them. I found that all three results were approximately as accurate as the first one.

I noticed that all the results present a glum view. Apparently everyone who takes the test is in some way depressed, angst-ridden, disappointed about a trun of events, etc. Optimism is nowhere to be found. Also, the descriptions of these states are all partial, so each description contains a different aspect of this glum state. Therefore, each result should fit fairly well for each person, because everyone has some kind of depressing event in the past or present, and can always dig up bad feelings about something. Those bad feelings can be described in different ways, and the result is still "accurate."

I think the results are crafted to fit in a generic way no matter who takes the test. There might be some validity to it, but it is hard to identify it.

[loosefur]

At this particular time, you are feeling that you are or were unjustly and undeservedly treated and/or betrayed in your hopes and dreams. You feel that everything is against you. But look on the bright side for you are, whether you believe it or not, a survivor.
way off on everything other than i am a survivor

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognize the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'.
eliminate the needing another person and i agree

You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn't worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.
i don't see this as relative to me in any way

Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted. You are becoming suspicious of everybody and consequently you now feel that you are unable to trust anybody. Unfortunately it would appear that you are curbing your natural enthusiasm and imaginative nature - perhaps this is because you are fearful that you may become over enthused and find that you could possibly be carried away by wishful thinking. You are keeping your distance to see whether attitudes towards you are sincere - but this watchfulness could easily develop into suspicion and distrust.
my introvertedness (yay for made up words!) isn't a recent development. natural enthusiasm?

In the past your trusting attitude has often been misunderstood and so you have needed to protect yourself against your tendency to be abused and taken advantage of. As a consequence you possibly adopt an aloof and critical attitude and you are only willing to let your guard down once sincerity and trustworthiness can be assured.
trusting attitude?

i'm writing this one off as complete nonsense.

[Mercury]

Yiles! Mine was very accurate!!
-----
You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You like the better things in life. You are sensuous and emotional. You are a follower of the Arts and you seek an environment that will give you the fulfilment to the senses that you need.

Matters are not progressing as well as you would have hoped and you are having to make concessions - but you still believe that your goals are realistic it's just that people can't seem to see your point of view. You know what you want but you'll only accept suggestions under duress.

You are feeling extremely nervous and frustrated. At this moment you are impatient, erratic and irritable. It could be that you are not feeling that well at this time - possibly suffering from hypertension. You feel that the situation is threatening and dangerous. You are resentful that what you have striven so hard for is being menaced and you are at your wits end because you feel powerless to prevent it. You are fearful that everything can collapse on you like a pack of cards and that you could lose everything. You are unable to view the situation objectively. You are attempting to remove or minimise this threat but you are overextended to the point of nervous prostration.

You have so many ideas that you would like to revitalise but you need to realise a stable and peaceful condition to do so. Once you can free yourself from all the aggravation and tension around you, you will make strides that may amaze you. You will not be prevented from achieving all the things you so desire.
-----------------

I have been twigging out because I'm opening my bookstore next month, and having stress with that. This colorgenics thing is very interesting!

[vkut79]

I think it's mostly bogus. The messages that I thought were less likely to be too general and apply to most people actually did not apply to me. On the other hand, the messages that I thought were too general and would apply to most people did apply to me for the most part. It was very clear to me from the beggining that the messages were not specific enough to be really meaningful. People will just think they are accurate because the messages apply to them, when in fact the messages are so general that they apply to 90% of people probably. Although I don't doubt that there is a small amount of accuracy.

[TheLastMohican]

Yiles! Mine was very accurate!!


Take it again, randomly. I wager your next description will be approximately as accurate.

[WiredBrain]

hmm... The setences here in my results seems vague enough to agree with what you are being told when you are reading it for the first time. Once you compare each statement with what you have really experienced lately, and retake the test and repeat the whole process, you realise that when you agreed with the results for the first time, it was just the old Forer's effect working on, so this test is as good as your zodiac sign description IMO.

[ElstonGunn]

Sure, I'll debate it. I just spent ~15 minutes playing with different outcomes and concluded it's basically a horoscope generator. Every outcome has some form of common human issue (misunderstood, stressed, confused) and a common compliment (you're creative, you're loving, you're independent).

First, I have to compliment you on running that test. Kudos. Secondly, I agree with you entirely. The issues and compliments are so vague that they apply to everyone. Add in the fact that people all have their own definitions for words like "misunderstood" and "independent," and something like this will appear accurate 80 percent of the time.

I could set up a similar program with three (or three hundred) possible outcomes. It would ask you a bunch of questions and then you'd get one of these outcomes:

1. You have ten fingers
2. You have ten toes
3. You have one head

Sure, it's accurate, but I'm still a hack. There's no value to something like that, unless I can find people who'll pay me to tell them things like that (and that's a pretty self-serving value, of course).

[PHS Philip]

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment 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 realise the bond of affection that you desire.

Vague enough that it will apply to anyone.

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.

Way too vague, again.

You are looking for excitement and stimulation and you are ready to try anything - but be careful not to take too many risks.

Miss. I'm not.


You feel truly deprived - not getting your fair share, but you have accepted the fact that that is the way things are at this time and that it is prudent to let matters slide and not hit your head against the wall -so conform and agree for a while. Accept the situation - nothing can last forever.

I don't feel particularly deprived, actually.

Presently, you are experiencing stress because of restriction on your independence.

Too vague, again.

You need and seek respect from other people and it is essential that they appreciate you for yourself and not for what they would like you to be

Bolded bit is wrong, the rest is true of just about everyone.


You have your own beliefs and convictions and you would like to be respected for them. You are anxious to avail yourself of every opportunity that may come your way but nevertheless, come what may, you have the need to control your own destiny without imposed limitations or restrictions.

True of everyone, again.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

Half true, and it's true of most people.

[luckykid]

Hmm it really describes my current condition...Sorta freaky.

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

The way things are at this time is causing you considerable stress and anxiety. Your friends and acquaintances consider you to be - to say the least - difficult and unapproachable. Now it is because of this that you need to find some sort of solution. By doing nothing and waiting for matters to right themselves will only make things worse, but don't rush into making hasty decisions - make haste slowly.

You are prepared to establish a particular relationship that is being made available to you at this time. It could be a satisfactory liaison but there could be a certain amount of conflict involved -try to avoid direct confrontation at all costs.

All the distress and agitation is the result of attempting to avoid any form of stimulation or excitement. The situation in which you find yourself at this time is one of hostility and therefore you are under considerable pressure. You are very irritable and prone to angry outbursts. You are in a mental quandary and you could be experiencing physical problems.You are very distressed by the apparent hostility of everyone around you and you feel coerced and subjected to intolerable pressures. You are resentful of what you regard as unreasonable demands on you but the situation is such that you feel powerless to control it and at this time you just don't know 'which way to turn'.

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.

[TheLastMohican]

Hmm it really describes my current condition...Sorta freaky.


Of course it does, as do most random results for this test.

[HankB]

This makes no sense to me. I really don't understand what it means to be in harmony with a color. I just picked the ones that I thought were prettiest or most attractive I guess. The information presented reads like astrology guides. The info is so general it always seems to be a little relevant. I wouldn't send these New Age yahoos a dime.

[Trinity]

Take it again, randomly. I wager your next description will be approximately as accurate.

Ah, don't you love it when the voice of reason gently slaps you in the face ;D

[Huddy]

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape. Your mental state of mind necessitates that you need to change your thinking patterns. Remember, if one particular modus operandi doesn't seem to work, then try something different.

You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn't worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.

Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted. You are becoming suspicious of everybody and consequently you now feel that you are unable to trust anybody. Unfortunately it would appear that you are curbing your natural enthusiasm and imaginative nature - perhaps this is because you are fearful that you may become over enthused and find that you could possibly be carried away by wishful thinking. You are keeping your distance to see whether attitudes towards you are sincere - but this watchfulness could easily develop into suspicion and distrust.

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.

I got the same response twice. Interesting.

[ElstonGunn]

I got the same response twice. Interesting.

Did you pick the same answers both times?


Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted.

It's nice to see that introversion is still a personality disorder and a defect.... :rolleyes:

[TheLastMohican]

Ah, don't you love it when the voice of reason gently slaps you in the face ;D

Was I too harsh?

It's nice to see that introversion is still a personality disorder and a defect.... :rolleyes:

I probably have been introverted ever since my brain was severely oxygen deprived during an unfortunate incident at age 2. Either that or my tylenol overdose 3 months afterwards.

Which would you guess?

[Trinity]

Was I too harsh?

Not at all, the frankness made me snigger.

[Aronnax]

It's nice to see that introversion is still a personality disorder and a defect.... :rolleyes:

The SLOAN test seems to think so:irked:

[ElstonGunn]

I probably have been introverted ever since my brain was severely oxygen deprived during an unfortunate incident at age 2. Either that or my tylenol overdose 3 months afterwards.

Which would you guess?

I would have guessed that it would require something far more abhorrent for you to be cursed with such a pitiful defect as introversion. Maybe you pissed off Poseidon or something.


The SLOAN test seems to think so:irked:

Everybody thinks so. It still bothers me that test choices are so frequently phrased as "I'm very outgoing" or "I'm somewhat withdrawn."

[Huddy]

Did you pick the same answers both times?




It's nice to see that introversion is still a personality disorder and a defect.... :rolleyes:


I honestly cannot say if I picked the same colors both times. I probably did without realizing it.

I tried it again today, to see if I would get a different response (I obviously did).
One problem I see with taking tests like these when you're preparing for it is that your emotions can affect the outcome and therefore are not always true. I.E., if I were to take this test when I'm angry, I would most likely pick red first.
Sorry for posting the obvious, I just wanted to throw that out there.

This is what I got the second time:

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!).

Pushing too hard? Maybe. If anything, I feel like I'm not pushing myself hard enough. I feel lazy a lot and its hard to get myself motivated.
Unrealistically? No. I'm a pessimist and realist.

You are working extremely hard - perhaps even above and beyond the call of duty. You are preparing for the future and therefore trying to build a firm trouble-free foundation upon which you may base all of your dreams and aspirations.

Working extremely hard? Again, no. Preparing for the future: a definite yes. However, I don't consider my future based off of dreams and aspirations, rather, I consider them goals so that I might be proud of myself and what I've become and done.

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.

For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - until they can prove themselves to you.

The only circumstances that are currently holding me back are the unavailabilities in my life. For example, my high school not offering anatomy and physiology.

However inaccurate the previous paragraphs might have been, the last one is dead on. I rarely trust people and I expect much out of them no matter how understanding I am/can be.

[lambpox]

You are seeking protection against anything which might seem to be exhausting you or tiring you out. It would appear that you are seeking a life of security and physical ease, free from any problem or disturbance.

You are a leader and possibly at this tine in a position of authority, but you are experiencing problems. You are not quite sure how to handle the present situation.

Being emotionally inhibited you have no alternative at this time but to be a 'watcher' rather than a 'doer'. At this time you feel as if you are being forced to compromise and stand back. But this is not the true you. Deep down there is that warm 'open' you which is awaiting the moment to burst forth - maybe like the chrysalis which will soon become the butterfly.

For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - (this is sort of true but I tend to trust everyone at first. Only when they do something to lose my trust the shit hits the fan, yo. :|) until they can prove themselves to you.

You are moody and depressed at this time (NOT REALLY! I'm pretty swell, I just get angry when someone is wrong; and that's not me being 'depressed') but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfillment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself... all is possible to him who believes.

Yeah this is pretty true when it come to the fulfillment of hopes and inability to complete shit. Haha.

[SongofSeptember]

You are trying to establish yourself and make an impact despite the fact that everything around you seems to be against you - putting up barriers, but don't be unduly concerned: you have the right ideas and come what may, they will soon be manifested and appreciated.
Completely off, as far as I know. At least, the "everything around you seems to be against you" part.

In actual fact you are not willing to exert yourself in any way. You have that truly 'laid back' attitude and are unwilling to extend yourself or exert undue effort. You feel that to move forward - be it in your life style or in business relationships - would require more energy output than you are prepared to give at this time. You want to take life easy and your attitude is such that 'Enough is Enough'.
Okay, this really is completely off.

Matters are not progressing as well as you would have hoped and you are having to make concessions - but you still believe that your goals are realistic it's just that people can't seem to see your point of view. You know what you want but you'll only accept suggestions under duress.
Yeah, matters aren't progressing very well, but I don't even know if I have any goals.

All of your stress arises from lack of mutual understanding. The existing situation is unsatisfactory and you feel that you are unable to improve it without the help and co-operation of others. The need for understanding and for affectionate 'give and take' remains unsatisfied. You are experiencing the feeling of being 'handcuffed' - 'tied down' - 'hindered' - 'restrained' and this untenable situation is giving rise to impatience, irritability and the desire to escape from it all.
THAT hits a little too close to home for my comfort.

You are being very dogmatic, insisting that there is to be absolutely no equivocation whatsoever about your achievements and accomplishments.
My achievements!?? Where!??

Most of it seems to be completely off, except that one paragraph that seems to be fairly accurate. Hm.

Whenever I take color-related online tests, I always get something negative. Because my favorite colors are grey (because it really is pretty--especially if it's paint), green (I don't know why I love this color, I just do), and black (because it's classical, misjudged as being negative [I'm thinking along the lines of shadows in art--you can't have light if you don't have shadows], and I like wearing it just because). And those aren't associated with very positive things.

[seoa]

I noticed that all the results present a glum view. Apparently everyone who takes the test is in some way depressed, angst-ridden, disappointed about a trun of events, etc. Optimism is nowhere to be found.
i quite liked mine.... the first half was pretty upbeat:
You have a vivid imagination and this is good. Great inventors, explorers all had inventive, imaginative minds. Your friends and acquaintances may consider you over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. So what ? this is a part of your character and charm.

Being a likeable person you get on well with neighbours and friends. You don't need anything to 'Rock your boat'. You want to 'love' and to be loved'.

All the problems that you have been experiencing of late seem to have become a part of your life and there is little that can be done to change the situation. Your emotions run high - but even though you feel as if at times you are about to burst this situation will pass. Try to release your pent-up emotions by participating in some extra physical activities like running, swimming, whatever. There must be some favourite pastime, not necessarily strenuous, that can help you to relax.
and the second half still isn't too dark...
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.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!
:)

[Obstinate]

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You are full of stress at this time. It would seem that you are having more than your fair share of trials and tribulations and you are looking for a way out. You are not quite sure which way to go but the advice is - 'Stop trying so hard'.

The situation at this time is one of considerable distress. You feel trapped and you are looking for some way out. You can find solace in the arms of someone who cares so long as there is no long-term emotional involvement.

Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in 'two-timing' and all you seek is sincerity and 'straight-dealing'.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

So true!

[bricklayer]

That is really strange. I agree with it for the most part. How does it get that from a couple of colors?

"You are very ambitious and because you seek and need recognition, you try in your own way to impress people and you want to be looked up to - to be both popular and admired. You feel that there is a gap which separates you from your fellow man, or woman as the case may be, but this anxiety is an unnecessary one. Keep on the way you are going and you may surprise yourself.

In actual fact you are not willing to exert yourself in any way. You have that truly 'laid back' attitude and are unwilling to extend yourself or exert undue effort. You feel that to move forward - be it in your life style or in business relationships - would require more energy output than you are prepared to give at this time. You want to take life easy and your attitude is such that 'Enough is Enough'.

Many people will consider you egotistical and full of your own self importance. On the surface you could well give this impression and perhaps the reason for this complacent attitude is because at times you indeed have that 'short fuse' and are quick to take offence.

It would seem that an existing situation or relationship is unsatisfactory and you feel that there is little that you can do about it without 'some help from your friends', but you have no desire to show the world how vulnerable you really are and therefore you consider it inadvisable to display affection or be over demonstrative. You regard this particular relationship as a depressing tie and although you would like to be independent and unhampered, you don't want to run the risk of losing anything. All this leads you to react 'touchily' and with impatience, while the urge to 'get away from it all' results in considerable restlessness and stress. Your ability to concentrate may suffer.

You are trying to build up your own position and you resist all external influences. You insist that you are your own person and you will not tolerate any outside interference. Decisive and proud, you are true managerial material. "

[sam988]

After doing it a few times, my conclusion: This test is bullshit, sort of like zodiacs... any description could fit someone.

[eclecticjoker]

This one said crippity-crap about me. Apparently I'm bitter and moody because I identify with orange and gray. I'm actually feeling really good lately.

[Uberfuhrer]

You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures. Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your 'missed opportunities' by living your life to the full. This is what, perhaps, may be described as 'living with exaggerated intensity'. In this way you feel you can break the chains of the past and start again - and it could be that you are right.

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image. You need for those people in positions that matter to recognize your potential and to acknowledge you.

You are a very choosy person - demanding and exacting in your emotional demands and very particular in your choice of partner. You are self-sufficient and as a result of this overbearing nature you find it difficult to establish any depth of deep physical or mental involvement with members of the opposite sex.

As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.

The fear that you may not be able to fulfill or realize all of your ambitions makes you work and play hard. The thought of being prevented from achieving the things you want leads you to play your part with frantic fervor.

This is like 95 percent accurate. It's kind of creepy.

[colmdubh]

It seems too vague, most people have problems..why do I need a test to tell me to join a clinic or go to a seminar?

[JessicaHavenLea]

I am "under a lot of stress", I feel "unappreciated", my "emotional needs are not being met"... I have become "introverted"...

interesting...almost...Since I picked the colors based on most-to-least favorite and it was still pretty accurate I'll say that it was worth the whole 30 seconds it took :P

(How many times do I have to repeat myself?)

[zibber]

LOL, colorgenics.. I can see how a lot of people would fall for this, it's quite a well done hoax. Nobody here had to think of dianetics when they first visited the site?

[IF3157]

You feel worn out, physically and mentally. Recently the going has been tough and it looks as if there is still a considerable way for you to go before you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If only you could put a protecting wall around yourself and cut yourself off from the rest of the world - be it even for only a little while - how wonderful it would be, but you can't - so you need to bear with it. Just when everything will seem at its lowest ebb you will find that there is a turnabout and your problems will seem to find a way of resolving themselves.

You dislike playing the field in every sense of the word. When you develop a relationship it needs to be a close fulfilling one, one that has deep meaning for all parties concerned.

It's the old old story - I am misunderstood - my partner (be it in your private life or in business) just doesn't understand me and YOU also believe at this time that you are being completely MISUNDERSTOOD by one and all. It then obviously follows that you naturally feel inhibited and not appreciated. It is perhaps because of this belief that you feel compelled to stand back and let the rest of the world go by. As for developing a firm relationship - inwardly deep down in your subconscious mind you are wary of even trying to get close to another person because you feel that if you open up your heart and feelings you are sure to get hurt. Since you are living in a society where close relationships are the norm, you feel that there is that need to conform, but any close relationships of any magnitude that you may have tried in the past have unfortunately left you without any sense of emotional involvement.

Having experienced considerable disappointment of late and not knowing quite what to do about it this has led you to suffer a great deal of agitation and anxiety. You are trying very hard to make favourable impressions all round. You feel that you have a right to do anything that you wish without being condemned for your beliefs. Everything seems to be going against you and you feel helpless to change the situation. The possibility of failure is most upsetting and this situation is leading to untold stress. You honestly believe that the situation is not of your making - it is not your fault - you have been misled and abused by those that you trusted, but you are trying to look at the situation quite dispassionately. Would you perhaps not agree that this situation could be regarded as unrealistic self justification?

You are worn out and lack both physical and mental energy. This lack of vitality has created an intolerance for any further excitement and you feel that you just cannot carry on; but you have been like that many times before and the situation passed. You again need to get away from it all - even if it is only for a little while. A relaxed body cannot contain a destructive emotion and the secret for you is to just relax.

[Deadgod]

You are trying desperately to prove yourself. You are going at it hammer and tongs in order to get your own way. You oppose any sort of restriction or opposition to your own point of view in the belief that this could prove you how self determined you are.

You are looking for excitement and stimulation and you are ready to try anything - but be careful not to take too many risks.

Your involvements seldom measure up to your high emotional expectations and your 'needs' to be 'loved' and 'cared for' have in the past often led to extreme disappointment. But a change is in the wind - make a firm decision to start anew. Just 'think' it..and it will happen.

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 off 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.

At this time you don't particularly like yourself. Everything that you have tried to do seems to have gone wrong. This makes you feel that there is no point in trying to start again. Apart from being stressed and tense, you are angry with yourself and have unadmitted self-contempt. Your refusal to admit that you and you alone is the basic cause of your problems leads to you adopting a headstrong and defiant attitude. If you take stock of yourself, smile a little and let go, everything will turn out OK. Have you not heard of the cliche 'smile and the world smiles with you - cry and you cry alone!'?


What a load of crap! These people obviously don't know what they're talking about! Or do they?

[Ejay]

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

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image. You need for those people in positions that matter to recognise your potential and to acknowledge you.

You need a friend - a close friend - and you are willing to become emotionally involved with the right person, but you are very demanding and particular in your choice of partners. You are constantly looking for reassurance and it is perhaps because of this that you tend to be somewhat argumentative, but you try to hold back - careful to avoid open conflict - since this might reduce your prospects of realising your hopes of establishing a warm caring relationship.

Presently, you are experiencing stress because of restriction on your independence. You need and seek respect from other people and it is essential that they appreciate you for yourself and not for what they would like you to be. You have your own beliefs and convictions and you would like to be respected for them. You are anxious to avail yourself of every opportunity that may come your way but nevertheless, come what may, you have the need to control your own destiny without imposed limitations or restrictions.

You don't like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.

Dont know for sure if I believe it all but I could tell you a story about what I have been going thru the last week with the forrest service, and it kinda sounds like me for the most part. But my favorite color is red and I would pick that one first everytime!!

[Brilliance]

You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures. Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your 'missed opportunities' by living your life to the full. This is what, perhaps, may be described as 'living with exaggerated intensity'. In this way you feel you can break the chains of the past and start again - and it could be that you are right.

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognise the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'.

Although you are, deep down, a very caring person, you are very particular in the choice of friends and indeed very demanding at times. You can be most quarrelsome and controversial and it is because of this argumentative trait you can at times explode into open conflict - conflict with even those you may care for and love. It is because of this inherent argumentative streak in you that may have resulted in broken hopes and dreams.

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 really would like to be completely uninhibited - to let your hair down - but you are held back by your sense of logic and rationalilty, since you realise that by simple stupidity you could lose everything - whatever that may be.


Interesting... I never saw myself as artistic.. But it is very on the dot about my controversial side.. I do lose a temper now and then (not physically of course), but by
pretty much winning arguments and debates... I don't know if I have 'missed out', what would be the purpose on dwelling on it if I had? But perhaps its a subconcious fear.. Who knows, the last sentence really appealed to me.. My thoughts on the population and its stupidity is a burning passion in me and to bring it up by clicking colours has truly earned my respect.

[Liason]

I can't agree with my result or trust it's accuracy as it is not from a pliable source, but it is fearfully correct in describing my emotions.

[Trailmixed]

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

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.

The way things are at this time it is necessary to 'go slow'. All the pleasures that you have anticipated should be left in abeyance until some future date, but all is not lost, you are able to derive and achieve considerable gratification from someone quite close to you.

You are frustrated and stressed. You appreciate the finer things in life but at all times you appear to stay aloof, critical of everything and everyone about you. You will not be carried away by your emotions and you refuse to trust anyone or any situation unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore, you keep a strict and watchful control on your feelings as you must know exactly where you stand at all times. You demand complete sincerity as a protection against your own tendency to be too trusting.

You really would like to be completely uninhibited - to let your hair down - but you are held back by your sense of logic and rationalilty, since you realise that by simple stupidity you could lose everything - whatever that may be

Wow...that sounds just like me. Cool.

[Seppuku Savant]

After doing it a few times, my conclusion: This test is bullshit, sort of like zodiacs... any description could fit someone.

While the description was a bit accurate, I will agree with above. It's probably written in a vague manner that can apply to many.

[Angellus]

Almost all of this is true for me. My intense longing for some real peace and quiet, alone time. Something I haven't had in a long long time. Years even.

---------------------------

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You dislike playing the field in every sense of the word. When you develop a relationship it needs to be a close fulfilling one, one that has deep meaning for all parties concerned.

Your confidence has been shattered. There are so many things that you would like to do with your life, so many dreams to be fulfilled - and you know that your hopes and dreams are not just figments of your imagination, they are real and you are looking for reassurance from someone. Basically your fears are such that you may be prevented in attaining your hopes and dreams. Even now you would like to broaden your fields of endeavour but in order to develop your 'inner- self' you need peace and solace. You are distressed by the fear that you may be prevented from attaining your goals. What you really need at this particular moment in time is quiet reassurance from someone close to you to restore your confidence.

As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.

You have so many ideas that you would like to revitalise but you need to realise a stable and peaceful condition to do so. Once you can free yourself from all the aggravation and tension around you, you will make strides that may amaze you. You will not be prevented from achieving all the things you so desire.

--------------------------------
All the things in bold are the things that hit right on the dot, things that are currently getting to me right now. I just turned 18 two and half months ago and graduated. I'm moving to Arkansas, by myself, to attend special classes and stuffz. I'm scared and a little frustrated. The stress is partly from that, but also from things going on with my family and the intense stress I had during my senior year of highschool.
Now the thing that's underlined, is the only thing that was way off. I've never tried to be like the in-crowd, or wanted to be. I naturally stray away from the social norm. So I can't "give in" to being like everyone else.

[Allie]

*ONLY THE BOLDED PARTS ARE TRUE...REGARDING GENERAL PERSONALITY* EVERYTHING ELSE IS AS I STATED

At this particular time, you are feeling that you are or were unjustly and undeservedly treated and/or betrayed in your hopes and dreams. You feel that everything is against you. But look on the bright side for you are, whether you believe it or not, a survivor.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG

Always anxious to accept the role of the leader, as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.

NEUTRAL TO TRUE

The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY WRONG.

Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted. You are becoming suspicious of everybody and consequently you now feel that you are unable to trust anybody. Unfortunately it would appear that you are curbing your natural enthusiasm and imaginative nature - perhaps this is because you are fearful that you may become over enthused and find that you could possibly be carried away by wishful thinking. You are keeping your distance to see whether attitudes towards you are sincere - but this watchfulness could easily develop into suspicion and distrust.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG (I WAS BORN INTROVERTED. I AM AT THE MOMENT BEING A BIT MORE EXTROVERTED, AND I AM NATURALLY SUSPICIOUS/WARY -- DUH).

In the past your trusting attitude has often been misunderstood and so you have needed to protect yourself against your tendency to be abused and taken advantage of. As a consequence you possibly adopt an aloof and critical attitude and you are only willing to let your guard down once sincerity and trustworthiness can be assured.

FIRST PART IS WRONG (I WAS AND AM STILL NEVER TRUSTING). THE VERY LAST PART IS TRUE, NATURALLY.

My verdict? Absolute BS.

[comfortofeyes]

You are longing for a little love and tenderness. At present you are feeling very sensitive and need a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. You don't need any further stresses, strains or arguments so take a deep breath and relax.

You haven't been feeling that great lately. Both physically and mentally you are exhausted. To your best friends, those who know you and love you, it shows. Your self esteem has been reduced almost to a minimum and in order to recover - and recover you will - it is necessary that you get away from it all, even if it be only for a few days.

It is amazing that you yourself believe that old 'adage' that you are a misunderstood person - and you feel that because of this you are being left out in the cold. It is because of this lack of believed understanding that you feel the need to conform to society in general - but this situation leaves you 'cold' knowing that you are not appreciated for your true self. Any relationship that you are developing at this time does not seem to involve any true emotional commitment, you seem to be just playing along.

All of the stress and strains resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. You have been going out of your way to make a good impression, but you have reservations as to the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to accomplish all that you set your mind on but you have become helpless and distressed when circumstances have gone against you. The idea of failure is most upsetting and this can even mean utter dejection. You see yourself as a scapegoat and you feel everyone in your sphere of influence has tried to take undue advantage of you. You are trying to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing and recognition is not of your making but indeed of those around you.

Sometimes one fears that its not worth formulating new ideas and projects because whatever you seem to have done in the past has never worked out and you are tired of, as they say, banging your head against a brick wall. No one seems to care. So now you are trying to get away from it all by withdrawing into a 'fantasy land' but unfortunately 'fantasy land' is just that and sooner or later you will have to return to reality so why delay the inevitable? When you do return, you will find that the situation is not as tough as perhaps you thought it was


*Sigh*

[kizuki]

At this time you are feeling 'uptight' and you are urgently in need of rest and relaxation; but perhaps even more than that you need to overcome that feeling that you have been 'hard done by' and treated with a complete lack of consideration. Maybe you have, but whatever may have been the cause of your inherent anxiety, you regard the situation as intolerable. Your are, however, sufficiently competent to turn that situation around - you have overcome similar problems in the past, and really this one isn't too different.

You are a leader and possibly at this tine in a position of authority, but you are experiencing problems. You are not quite sure how to handle the present situation.

Being a very proud individual, you tend to hold yourself aloof pretending that you are stoical - indifferent to pain and pleasure. This is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional individual, one that may make a hasty decision and perhaps regret it at leisure. It is time now to break the bond of detachment and be the 'you' that you would like to be - give vent to your emotions and enjoy yourself.

You are feeling full of uncertainty and worrying over what you consider as missed opportunities. This is causing considerable stress and tension. You feel that there must be more to life than the constant pressures and anxieties - that surely life must hold far more opportunities than that which it has to date presented to you. You sincerely believe that there must be a simpler way to tap life's hidden recourses and should you be able to find that way - you could achieve your hearts desire. It's the not knowing 'how' that is affording you the constant worry. You are constantly probing and seeking - trying to ensure that at all times you are on your guard against missing any opportunity. 'Enough is enough'. You are anxious to avoid further setbacks. You are strenuously trying to make sure that you will not be overlooked and you badly need security.

You have so many ideas that you would like to revitalise but you need to realise a stable and peaceful condition to do so. Once you can free yourself from all the aggravation and tension around you, you will make strides that may amaze you. You will not be prevented from achieving all the things you so desire.

*inserts long rant about results*

[SimplyOtter]

You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.



You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition.



Everything seems to have gone wrong and the situation at this time is such that you are not quite sure which way to turn. So it would appear that you are 'holding back', re-consolidating your position and relinquishing all fun and games for the time being.



You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own.

You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge.

You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.



You are greatly impressed by individuality and have interest in people who have outstanding qualities. You try to imitate those people that you admire and their characteristics, hoping that you will be able to display similar qualities in your own personality.

Ok I'm sure this could be true for many of us, but it's also true that I couldn't relate to the description it gave of others here, while I can relate to this one. Not all of it ("this need to be needed and that need to need" ?? what's that?) but it was quite accurate for me...

...don't want even think it could be part of Dyanetics, that would really scare me... gahhh! :scared:

[Caucus]

Bullshit test.
Very little of the paragraph described me.

[Deraj0100]

You feel worn out, physically and mentally. Recently the going has been tough and it looks as if there is still a considerable way for you to go before you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If only you could put a protecting wall around yourself and cut yourself off from the rest of the world - be it even for only a little while - how wonderful it would be, but you can't - so you need to bear with it. Just when everything will seem at its lowest ebb you will find that there is a turnabout and your problems will seem to find a way of resolving themselves.

Most people are conditioned by their environment and you are no exception. You are an extremely emotional person - so much so that 'the wrong word' can lead you to tears. You feel other people's pain. You feel the need of sympathetic relationships and a pleasant work environment in order to develop and grow. You are an impulsive, loving individual with a great deal of inherent feeling.

It is hard for you to accept that your needs and desires are misunderstood by almost everyone within your sphere of influence and there is no one to rely on. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you'll have to make the best of things as they are.

From every direction there appear to be unwarranted restrictions on your freedom of action and this is producing considerable stress. You're really looking for independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoiding any obligations or anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressures and you would like nothing better than to escape from them but you tend to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. Whichever way you turn you are being frustrated. You need to be free to do your 'thing' in your own way.

You need to be needed and would like a situation where you will no longer be subjected to pressures and demands from those about you. There is no harm in 'dreaming' but it is you - and only you - that can be able to realise those dreams and to turn them into reality.

Probably more true than I want to admit.

[Antares]

I recently took it again.

At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover.!!!

Well, I'm not sure what I'm 'recovering' from. This week has been relatively stress-free and boring.

You are trying to improve your position and prestige - be it in your life or in your workplace. Things are, at this time, OK - but they could be better. You feel that it is essential that you break down any opposition that could possibly lurk in the shadows. You know that you are quite capable of achieving this set goal because you have to and because it is essential to your self esteem.

A bit general, but true nonetheless.

The situation at this time is one of considerable distress. You feel trapped and you are looking for some way out. You can find solace in the arms of someone who cares so long as there is no long-term emotional involvement.

Bold: I like that. Generally true.

Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in 'two-timing' and all you seek is sincerity and 'straight-dealing'.

You are fed up with other people trying to influence you and you also feel that it is necessary to protect yourself from the threat that your independence and freedom may be restricted. You would just like to be left alone.

I got into two arguments in two days with my parents about this issue. So I'd say true; eerily so.

[einnelsate]

Fairly accurate results, but I'm still skeptical. I will try it again sometime later. ;)

btw, it seems to be explained here.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

[enWTFp]

Ahh, Forer effect type of test. Oh, well. It looked cool, sounds kinda accurate etc.

You appear to others around you as a person who is simply 'laid back'. From time to time you shelve your ambitions and forgo the desire for prestige and recognition and you are often considered as mentally lazy. You have the ability and you are the first to know this, but you prefer to take things easy and indulge your longing for comfort and security.

You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition.

We are all conditioned by our environment and as such we respond to people's perception of ourselves, but you feel that conditions are not right at this time. You are experiencing certain reservations that are precluding you to develop a particular relationship, business or personal, that is being offered. It is 'make your mind up time' - the decision is all yours, but whatever decision you make, it will be the right one.

Your stress and anxiety are a result of an emotional disappointment. It could well be that the emotional relationship is no longer running smoothly and you have come to the end of your tether. On the one hand you would like to free yourself from this relationship altogether, yet on the other hand, you don't want to lose anything nor risk the uncertainty of throwing away something - something that's precious, something that could be the 'Real Thing'. Perhaps for the first time in your life you really don't know which way to go and it is these contradictory emotions that are causing you the untold stress. You are pretending to the world that you don't care but even this air of pretence is causing you much heartache.

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'.

[NephilimAzrael]

Everyone feels despondent at times and you are no exception. You are feeling so depressed because it seems that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong and you don't quite know which way to turn. So like the proverbial ostrich you are trying to bury your head in the sand. But that won't work - you have to face reality.

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognise the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'.

It is hard for you to accept that your needs and desires are misunderstood by almost everyone within your sphere of influence and there is no one to rely on. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you'll have to make the best of things as they are.

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 off 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.

At this time you don't particularly like yourself. Everything that you have tried to do seems to have gone wrong. This makes you feel that there is no point in trying to start again. Apart from being stressed and tense, you are angry with yourself and have unadmitted self-contempt. Your refusal to admit that you and you alone is the basic cause of your problems leads to you adopting a headstrong and defiant attitude. If you take stock of yourself, smile a little and let go, everything will turn out OK. Have you not heard of the cliche 'smile and the world smiles with you - cry and you cry alone!'?

Some I can agree with, some is rather excessively emotive. I heard of this before, thanks for the link. It was entertaining, but not very accurate.

[methionine]

I took it twice and the results are somewhat accurate, but I think it's just forer effect...

[Tabemashoo]

I took it quite a few times, but continually got results that just didn't fit me.

Every one seemed to say that "nothing was going right for me", and that I'm going through "mental anguish".

Honestly, my life is great right now, and everything seems to be working out--I'm just bored because it's the end of summer and I've run out of things to do. At least it got that right. They all said I was bored. lawl.

[PortInStorm]

Hey CJ, so sorry about your mom....

[LordMaiestas]

At this particular time, you are feeling that you are or were unjustly and undeservedly treated and/or betrayed in your hopes and dreams. You feel that everything is against you. But look on the bright side for you are, whether you believe it or not, a survivor.

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognise the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'.

You have a high opinion of yourself. It is perhaps because of this self-centredness that you become exasperated when you feel that your needs are misinterpreted by those around you. When this happens - and it does quite often - you feel that there is no-one that can understand the way you feel and it is because of this egocentric self that you are quick to take offence.

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 off 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.

You are moody and depressed at this time but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself... all is possible to him who believes.

You are a very sensitive person and you try hard (perhaps a little too hard) to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers. But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired and you are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. Stop trying so hard.

Enough is enough. Nothing seems to be working out as you would like it to and it has got to the stage where you feel as if you can't be bothered anymore. The way you feel is that it would be great if you could be cut off from everything and take it easy - be it only for a short time.

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.

Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted. You are becoming suspicious of everybody and consequently you now feel that you are unable to trust anybody. Unfortunately it would appear that you are curbing your natural enthusiasm and imaginative nature - perhaps this is because you are fearful that you may become over enthused and find that you could possibly be carried away by wishful thinking. You are keeping your distance to see whether attitudes towards you are sincere - but this watchfulness could easily develop into suspicion and distrust.

You are being very dogmatic, insisting that there is to be absolutely no equivocation whatsoever about your achievements and accomplishments.
