Colour Magic

Posted in Life at 12:33 pm by alby

Late one night at Bungay (oh how many stories could start with that line) Dr Ruth was nattering about this wotsit called the colour test. Apparently there are 8 colours and you rank them in order of which you feel is best to worst. It then waits 2 minutes; rearranges the order of the colours and asks you to repeat the ordering in the same way.

Turns out that lots of psych research has been done which gives it some legitimacy. Cue Susannah scoffing re this. At this point Richard gives her his phone with net connection and offers her the chance to test it out. When the results came in they were accurate enough for Susannah to leave immediately before the 3rd and 4th pages of results were read out. Spookeh.

So I had a go (the website is here if you fancy a go) and my results were reasonably spooky too.

Your Existing Situation
Imaginative and sensitive; seeking an outlet for these qualities--especially in the company of someone equally sensitive. Interest and enthusiasm are readily aroused by the unusual or the adventurous.

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

Your Restrained Characteristics
An unadmitted lack of confidence makes him careful to avoid open conflict and he feels he must make the best of things as they are.

Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.

Your Desired Objective
Strives for a life rich in activity and experience, and for a close bond offering sexual and emotional fulfillment.

Your Actual Problem
Fights against restriction or limitation, and insists on developing freely as a result of his own efforts.

Now that’s not far from accurate really. I’m aware that there may be some broad brush stuff in there though.

I also quite like that one of my “restrained characteristics” is “able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity”. Does this mean that I’m waiting to be “unrestrained” in this area? Wow!

Have fun.

And do comment with whatever you get from the quiz.
