Colorgenics

I’m not sure what to make of this… you get a profile, but it seems like hocus-pocus to me.

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

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.

This sounds EXACTLY like a horoscope.  It applies to 99% of the people who read it.

Is it that you are working - or even playing - too hard?

Nope.

Because it would seem that you are experiencing a great deal of pent-up emotion at this time which could possibly take effect and lead to irrational behaviour.

As ever!

You are very self-sufficient and methodical.

*sniggers*

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’.

Does Matt not count for that?

Many people will consider you egotistical and full of your own self importance.

Oh, probably.

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.

Complacent, and (essentially) non-complacent? But yup, I go off at the drop of a hat.

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.

Nah, everyone knows that’s a feeble facade.

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!’?

Ummm… I was doing fine with myself until this told me I wasn’t. I thought things were going quite well for me and I was pretty cheery. Now I feel depressed…
Do you think this has anything to do with me choosing black first?

from the website advertised at the bottom of the “test”:

We are all profoundly affected by light. For example, it is now a medically accepted fact that some people become chronically depressed when deprived of adequate daylight. They suffer from what is called Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.).We are also affected by the spectrum of colors that are the components of natural light. We often express our emotions in terms of color - “feeling blue” or “seeing red”. What is less well known is that careful analysis of our own preferences for individual colors can accurately reflect our unique personalities and state of physical well-being.In the early 20th century, renowned psychologists Dr. Max Luscher and Dr. Theo Gimbel developed Rudolph Steiner’s basic principles. Luscher and Gimbel suggested that people invariably chose colors for their direct association with their current physical state and psychological needs. 
 
What is new is the Colorgenics system, and the way it harnesses 21st century computing power to analyse those color preferences. 

Years of painstaking research in behavioural psychology have enabled Paul Goldin to develop a sophisticated but remarkably easy to use computer program. By examining your individual color preferences, Colorgenics speedily reveals to you your underlying character traits, and also provides an incisive insight into your physical well-being.The Colorgenics program is made up of eight standard colors - you simply select these colors in your preferred order. The number of ways in which these eight colors can be ordered is vast, and it is in the analysis of these permutations - and specifically the one personal order that you choose - that the power of the Colorgenics program becomes apparent.Colorgenics makes no claims to infallibility, but the results consistently show a high degree of accuracy. In fact, 87% of respondents in a recent survey said that their analysis results were ‘amazingly accurate’. Men and women across the world have found Colorgenics irresistible - Over 9 million people have experienced Colorgenics.

Please note: Though Colorgenics was inspired by the world renowned Luscher-Color-Test, as taught at universities and their medical clinics, the two are not to be confused. Colorgenics does not rely on the same colors, which in any event cannot be reproduced precisely on any screen. The Luscher Color Test gives a precise and correct evaluation. Colorgenics, fascinating though it is, was designed more as an interactive experience than as an exercise in science.

Do you think this has anything to do with me choosing black first?

We love you Boo… you go ahead and poke the black cube first… I suspect it means nothing even though mine was so very dang accurate…

What does it say when you’re colour-blind?

Enough is enough - you feel frustrated and rejected. You are fighting back and the going is tough. It would be just wonderful if you could be left in peace.

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.

Many people will consider you egotistical and full of your own self importance…..

blah, blah, blah.  It’s the same as Boo’s after that. I think that part is what comes from picking the black cube first

and yea, I can’t say that the first part is at all accurate…

What does it say when you’re colour-blind?

You click on the boxes based on their position instead.  Do you like the cube on the right or the left better? 

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 not be feeling so good at this time. Everything seems to be getting on top of you. What you need is a rest from all of the the present trials and tribulations in peaceful surroundings and with someone - male or female, it doesn’t really matter - who can really understand you and appreciates your needs.

You feel that you should be appreciated far more than you are but no-one seems to care! You feel that you are receiving less than your share and the main problem is that there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. The inner stress that you are experiencing makes you quick to take offence but you realise that at this particular moment in time there is little that you can do to relieve the situation.

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 completely worn out - physically and mentally - and it has got to the stage where ‘you don’t want to participate anymore’. You are in fact experiencing what is known as ‘burnout’ and your reaction is such that you feel that everyone is against you yet you still seem to refuse to listen to reason. You are hostile, bitter and indignant. You insist that you want and are entitled to your own way - well maybe you are, but your attitude is not conducive to making friends. Take it easy. Let go and get back into the World.

Well, I guess I’m off to slit my wrists

No sorry, not only not depressed by exceptionally happy.

trials and tribulations? Did I miss something?

You feel that you should be appreciated far more than you are but no-one seems to care! You feel that you are receiving less than your share and the main problem is that there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. The inner stress that you are experiencing makes you quick to take offence but you realise that at this particular moment in time there is little that you can do to relieve the situation.

Perhaps I felt this way once, 20 years ago.

hmm, nope. what disappointment? I’m waiting on some good news which if it isn’t good could be disappointing, and even if it was bad news, it wouldn’t hurt me that much.
so no, I wouldn’t agree.

You are completely worn out - physically and mentally - and it has got to the stage where ‘you don’t want to participate anymore’.

yep I was burnt out about 5 years ago and maybe I haven’t fully recovered, but I enjoy life now I have an excellent job that many would envy. I don’t see me getting burnt out again in the near future.

I chose Black, Grey, Orange, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Red

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.

Yep.

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

Not really.

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.

Kinda.

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.

Maybe in relation to certain things, but not overall.

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.

Well, I always feel like that in the morning.

Hey Smerk…
