A colour test

Jonathan found a web-based personality test (here) that he thinks is accurate. I've just taken the test and have obtained the following results - now you all know everything there is to know about me! I wonder what Maryam thinks of this analysis - actually I'd prefer not to know!

Your Existing Situation

The existing situation contains critical or dangerous elements for which it is imperative that some solution be found. This may lead to sudden, even reckless, decisions. Self-willed and rejects any advice from others.

Your Stress Sources

Delights in the tasteful, the gracious, and the sensitive, but maintains his attitude of critical appraisal and refuses to be swept off his feet unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore keeps a strict and watchful control on his emotional relationships as he must know exactly where he stands. Demands complete sincerity as a protection against his own tendency to be too trusting.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.

The situation is preventing him from establishing himself, but he feels he must make the best of things as they are.

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

Wants to act freely and uninhibitedly, but is restrained by his need to have things on a rational, consistent, and clearly-defined basis.

That was most revealing, wasn't it? But why did you call it a "colour" test? What does it have to do with colours? (Just curious.)

Try it! You'll see why it is a "colour" test! I'd be interested in what you get as a response!

I think that the trick is that, whatever colours you choose, you get the same comments. I suppose the experiment is to see how long it takes people to notice.
