The Color Quiz!
 
This is a neat site with a cool quiz. Choose the color that makes you feel best, or "jumps out" at you and get surprisingly accurate results about your mood and mental/emotional situation. I go back and take it every so often, its entertaining and even enlightening in some cases.

The Color Quiz

Post your results and discuss!


My most recent:

Quote:

Your Existing Situation

Feels obstructed in her desires and prevented from obtaining the things she regards as essential.

Your Stress Sources
Feels that life has far more to offer and that there are still important things to be achieved--that life must be experienced to the fullest. As a result, she pursues her objectives with a fierce intensity that will not let go of things. Becomes deeply involved and runs the risk of being unable to view things with sufficient objectivity, or calmly enough; is therefore in danger of becoming agitated and of exhausting her nervous energy. Cannot leave things alone and feels she can only be at peace when she has finally reached her goal.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship.
Feels that she cannot do much about her existing problems and difficulties and that she must make the best of things as they are. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to her.


Your Desired Objective
Needs a change in her circumstances or in her relationships which will permit relief from stress. Seeking a solution which will open up new and better possibilities and allow hopes to be fulfilled.

Your Actual Problem
The fear that she may be prevented from achieving the things she wants leads her into a relentless search for satisfaction in the pursuit of illusory or meaningless activities.
Pretty accurate, actually :eek:

Sithdarth 09-10-2004 05:12 PM

Just got this:
Quote:

Your Existing Situation

Sensuous. Inclined to luxuriate in the things which give gratification to the senses, but rejects anything tasteless, vulgar, or coarse.


Your Stress Sources

The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Outraged by the thought that he will be unable to achieve his goals and distressed at the feeling of helplessness to remedy this. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.


Your Restrained Characteristics

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

Circumstances are such that he feels forced to compromise for the time being if he is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.


Your Desired Objective

Hopes that ties of affection and good-fellowship will bring release and contentment. His own need for approval makes him ready to be of help to others and in exchange he wants warmth and understanding. Open to new ideas and possibilities which he hopes will prove fruitful and interesting.


Your Actual Problem

Agitation, unpredictability, and irritation accompanying depleted vitality and intolerance of further demands have all placed him in a position in which he feels menaced by his circumstances. Feeling powerless to remedy this by any action of his own, he is desperately hoping that some solution will provide a way of escape.
To which I have only one response:

Ahhhhhhhhhh, get out of my head you evil computer! It's draining my mind through the screen. Run for you lifes they're out to get us!! Ye gods why have you forsaken me!!!

Archbio 09-10-2004 05:13 PM

Quote:

Existing situation:
Acts in an orderly, methodical, and self-contained manner. Needs the sympathetic understanding of someone who will give her recognition and approval.

Stress sources:
Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Restrained Characteristics:
Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left her listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied her.

Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Desired objective:
Wants interesting and exciting things to happen. Able to make herself well-liked by her obvious interest and by the very openness of her charm. Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming.

Actual Problem:
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.
Not to dissociate myself from the results, but I feel I didn't do this right. It might sound right, considering the fact that I invented my own standards, which kind of makes the whole thing moot.

Lost in Time 09-10-2004 05:21 PM

Well this is my results:

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Needs peace and quiet. Desires a close and faithful partner from whom to demand special consideration and unquestioning affection. If these requirements are not met, is liable to turn away and withdraw altogether.

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the herd. His control of his sensual instincts restricts his ability to give himself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow himself to merge with another. This disturbs him, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; he feels that only by continued self-restraint can he hope to maintain his attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for himself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no one to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.

Your Desired Objective
Alert and keenly observant. Is seeking fresh avenues offering greater freedom and the chance to make the most of them. Wants to prove himself and to achieve recognition. Striving to bridge the gap which he feels separates him from others.

Your Actual Problem
The fear that he may be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him into a relentless search for satisfaction in the pursuit of illusory or meaningless activities.
Hmm... I guess it works. But I'm not sure that I did it correctly either.

Krylo 09-10-2004 05:37 PM

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Seeks to share a bond of understanding intimacy in an esthetic atmosphere of peace and tenderness.
That's more or less correct, I suppose.
Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Feels that life has far more to offer and that there are still important things to be achieved--that life must be experienced to the fullest. As a result, he pursues his objectives with a fierce intensity that will not let go of things. Becomes deeply involved and runs the risk of being unable to view things with sufficient objectivity, or calmly enough; is therefore in danger of becoming agitated and of exhausting his nervous energy. Cannot leave things alone and feels he can only be at peace when he has finally reached his goal.
The first line is right... about there still being much to be accomplished. But, come on people, I'm way too fucking lazy to do all that other crap. It's just laughable.
Quote:

Circumstances are forcing him to compromise, to restrain his demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things he wants.
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
That last line is the best goddamn thing any test has ever said. EVER.

Also, that's all true.
Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Seeks success, stimulation, and a life full of experience. Wants to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt, to win, and to live intensely. Likes contacts with others and is enthusiastic by nature. Receptive to anything new, modern, or intriguing; has many interests and wants to expand his fields of activity. Optimistic about the future.
Hmm... about right, actually. I wouldn't call my self enthusiastic, though.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
The fear that he might be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him to play his part with an urgent and hectic intensity.
Again with the intensity mumbo jumbo! I barely even work at work. I've almost fallen asleep a few times... and at home I just sit around.


All in all, they're pretty correct, except the whole thinking that I'm not too lazy to do anything thing...

Edit: There's no way to do this wrong, unless you sit and look at the colors and try to pick the one that DOESN'T catch your eye. You just click what you first want to click.

Forever Zero 09-10-2004 05:40 PM

Let's see.

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Sensuous. Inclined to luxuriate in things which give gratification to the senses, but rejects anything tasteless, vulgar, or coarse.
Well, since I got to college, I have been having plenty of free time to play games...

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness and to bridge the gap which he feels separates himself from others. Anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to explore all its possibilities, and to live it to the fullest. He therefore resents any restriction or limitation being imposed on him and insists on being free and unhampered.
Wow, that REALLY sounds like me right now...

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship.

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.
Umm... Yeah, those are true as well...

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Seeks success, stimulation, and a life full of experience. Wants to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt, to win, and to live intensely. Likes contacts with others and is enthusiastic by nature. Receptive to anything new, modern, or intriguing; has many interests and wants to expand his fields of activity. Optimistic about the future.
Meh, only partly true. I'm not a people person, I'm not enthusiastic by nature, and I'm not optimistic about the future.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Fights against restriction or limitation, and insists on developing freely as a result of his own efforts.
That is true. Freedom is an amazing thing when you finally get out of the house, and a sense of losing it tends to drive me insane rather quickly...

Quote:

Your Actual Problem #2
The fear that he might be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him to play his part with an urgent and hectic intensity.
Umm, not really. I'm fairly laid back in everything I do, under just about any circumstances...

Overall fairly accurate with a few inconsistencies. A pretty cool test.

Meister 09-10-2004 05:45 PM

Holy crap, the first time through I got the exact same stuff as krylo except for Stress Sources:

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Resilience and tenacity have become weakened. Feels overtaxed, worn out, and getting nowhere, but continues to stand his ground. He feels this adverse situation as an actual tangible pressure which is intolerable to him and from which he wants to escape, but he feels unable to make the necessary decision.
I'm not too sure about this, but other than that, it's pretty true to the facts. I'm not too fond of the "plays his part" thing either... I'll put that off to a slight miswording. I don't feel I'm playing any part in my daily life...

Quote:

That last line is the best goddamn thing any test has ever said. EVER.
I wonder if it would make a good custom title. Except the mod squad would be on me if I make an according avatar.

Lycanthrope 09-10-2004 05:53 PM

I'm not sure about mine, but here goes:
Quote:

Your Existing Situation

Having difficulty making progress and unwilling to put forth further effort. Seeking more comfortable conditions where he can avoid anything disturbing

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

Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.

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

Your Desired Objective

Seeks an affectionate relationship, offering fulfillment and happiness. Capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Helpful, and willing to adapt himself if necessary to realize the bond of affection he desires. Needs the same consideration and understanding from others.

Your Actual Problem

Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or argument, preferring to be left in peace.
I'm not sure about the Restrained characteristic. But then again it's supposed to be restrained. I don't usually take offence in the sense that it is difficult for me to get angry at people. I'll admit I have a couple of sore spots where I don't like being ridiculed, but doesn't everyone?

Then again, my friend, the psychological prodigy, rated me as having restrained narcisism, so maybe it is true... oh well...

As for the rest, it is in various stages of accuracy from kinda true to dead on. The Existing situation is also questionable...

MP37a 09-10-2004 05:58 PM

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Acts in an orderly, methodical, and self-contained manner. Needs the sympathetic understanding of someone who will give him recognition and approval.
Yeah that could be true

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the rank and file. His control of his sensual instincts restricts his ability to give himself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow himself to merge with another. This disturbs him, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; he feels that only by continued self-restraint can he hope to maintain his attitude of individual superiority.

That too.

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved, but demanding and particular in his choice of a partner and in his relations with those close to him. Needs reassurance and is careful to avoid open conflict since this might reduce his prospects of realizing his hopes.
Conditions are such that he will not let himself become intimately involved without making mental reservations
Very True

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Strives for a life rich in activity and experience, and for a close bond offering sexual and emotional fulfillment
I'll go with that.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for his personal accomplishments
Untrue

Quote:

Your Actual Problem #2
The fear that he might be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him to play his part with an urgent and hectic intensity
Also Untrue.

Gunner11B 09-10-2004 06:05 PM

here is myn

Quote:

Attracted by anything new, modern, or intriguing. Liable to the bored by the humdrum, the ordinary, or the traditional.

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.

Feels cut off and unhappy because of the difficulty in achieving the essential degree of cooperation and harmony which he desires.

Wants to make a favorable impression and be regarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether on the watch to see whether he is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to him; this makes him feel he is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.

Strongly resists outside influence and any interference with his freedom to make his own decisions and plans. Works to establish and strengthen his own position
Im not sure what it means but i think im normal, hopfully...

Cloud Strife 09-10-2004 06:26 PM

I keep trying to go to the next page, but so far this is all it says about me:

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Works well in cooperation with others but is disinclined to take the leading role. Needs a personal life of mutual understanding and freedom from discord.
Overall, rather accurate, except for the leadership thing. I don't mind taking leadership roles.

INS@NE!!! 09-10-2004 07:02 PM

Mine is comletely inaccurate. I supposedly am "tender" on the inside. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... No.

SpokAvriel 09-10-2004 07:03 PM

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Sensuous. Inclined to luxuriate in the things which give gratification to the senses, but rejects anything tasteless, vulgar, or coarse.
I can't stand people who are deliberately being jerks and I think I'm more sensetive than sentuous but being a virgin does tend to make that hard to judge.
Quote:

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.
Right now I am fighting a situation where I will no longer have control over how things go in my appartment.

Long story but it would lead to someone else having a say in things and I'm not even setup with things how I want them at the moment.

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Distressed by the obstacles with which he is faced and is no mood for any form of activity or for further demands on him. Needs peace and quiet, and the avoidance of anything which might distress him further.
Clings to his belief that his hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs encouragement and reassurance. Applies very exacting standards to his choice of a partner and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment.

All Dreams and wishes can come true it is only a matter of how hard you want to work to make it happen.

And right now the obsticles are more along the lines of lack of job and that is a big obsticle.

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.
Consider this in the context of a complete stranger becomming a roommate and then the fact that I still havn't been able to clean out the leavings of prior room mates yet.
Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or argument, preferring to be left in peace.
And this is how I am being strong armed into the situation it all fits and is total BS of a situation but completely true of this moment of reality.

Vicious 09-10-2004 08:11 PM

Your Existing Situation
Sensitive; needs esthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm intimacy.

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

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.
Feels that things stand in his way, that circumstances are forcing him to compromise and forgo some pleasures for the time being.


Your Desired Objective
His need to feel more causative and to have a wider sphere of influence makes him restless and he is driven by his desires and hopes. May try to spread his activities over too wide a field.

Your Actual Problem
Feels insufficiently valued in his existing situation, and is seeking different conditions in which he will have greater opportunity of demonstrating his worth.



Sure, I guess.

The Mirror Emperor 09-10-2004 09:05 PM

This is mine:

Your Existing Situation
Relatively inactive and in a static condition, while conflict of one sort or another prevents peace of mind. Unable to achieve relationships of the desired degree of mutual affection and understanding.

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Circumstances are forcing him to compromise, to restrain his demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things he wants.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.

Your Desired Objective
Seeks success, stimulation, and a life full of experience. Wants to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt, to win, and to live intensely. Likes contacts with others and is enthusiastic by nature. Receptive to anything new, modern, or intriguing; has many interests and wants to expand his fields of activity. Optimistic about the future.

Your Actual Problem
Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for his personal accomplishments.

I think this reads my mind, dude. That's almost accurate to what I am right now.

Shiny Bunny Captain Socha 09-10-2004 09:41 PM

It's an interesting test. I mean, I don't take it as gospel but I think its fun to do once in a while. If you go back in a few days or weeks and do it again, your results will be different...based on your mood etc. It is surprising how accurate it can be. But again, its just something amusing to do when you're a little bored.

Jack of Spades 09-11-2004 01:22 AM

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Trying to improve his position and prestige. Dissatisfied with his existing circumstances and considers some improvement essential to his self-esteem.
my esteem is fine but the rest fits.

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Outraged by the thought that he will be unable to achieve his goals and distressed at the feeling of helplessness to remedy this. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.
Nope not even close

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity, but tries to avoid conflict.
Circumstances force him to compromise and to forgo some pleasures for the time being. Capable of achieving physical satisfaction through sexual activity.
yeah I try to avoid conflict but I'm already emotionally involved and achieving *ahem cough* "satisfaction". So I wouldn't say it's restrained.

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Longs for tenderness and for a sensitivity of feeling into which he can blend. Responsive to anything esthetic and tasteful
Yeah perfect fits me exactly!

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects him to agitation and acute distress. Tries to escape from this by relinquishing the struggle, and by finding peaceful and restful conditions in which to recuperate in an atmosphere of affection and security.
Affection and security sounds nice I don't recall having a problem tho.

DrmChsr0 09-11-2004 01:47 AM

Your Existing Situation
Authoritative or in a position of authority, but liable to feel that further progress is rendered problematical by existing difficulties. Perseveres despite opposition.

Your Stress Sources
Feels that life has far more to offer and that there are still important things to be achieved--that life must be experienced to the fullest. As a result, he pursues his objectives with a fierce intensity that will not let go of things. Becomes deeply involved and runs the risk of being unable to view things with sufficient objectivity, or calmly enough; is therefore in danger of becoming agitated and of exhausting his nervous energy. Cannot leave things alone and feels he can only be at peace when he has finally reached his goal.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity but is inclined to be emotionally withdrawn, which prevents him from becoming deeply involved.

Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.

Your Desired Objective
Tries to escape from his problems, difficulties, and tensions by abrupt, headstrong, and ill-considered decisions or changes of direction

Your Actual Problem
The fear that he may be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him into a relentless search for satisfaction in the pursuit of illusory or meaningless activities.

Wee.

Leerie 09-11-2004 01:50 AM

My results were:
Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Exercises initiative in overcoming obstacles and difficulties. Either holds, or wishes to achieve, a position of authority in which control can be exerted over events.
I'm not entirely sure what that means but it sounds accurate.
Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which she imposes of herself or by her own choice and decision.
Oh, definately.
Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow herself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.
Yeah, that's pretty much true.
Quote:

Feels that she is receiving less than her share and that there is no one on who she can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions make her quick to take offense, but she realizes that she has to make the best of things as they are.
I'm not sure that I think I'm receiving less than my share, but I do definately feel that there is no one I can rely on for understanding. And I admit to being emotional.
Quote:

Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in her sex life.
I'd like to say that's not true, but I'd be lying.
Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Desires a tranquil, peaceful state of harmony offering quiet contentment and a sense of belonging.
Hell yes.
Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or argument, preferring to be left in peace.
Well, I like discussing differences of opinion, but if you're gonna start yelling at me or whatever, I'd rather not bother.

So I think that was pretty accurate, in all.

Your Stress Sources

Sensitive, and susceptible to gentleness and delicacy of feeling, with a desire to blend into some sort of mystic fusion of erotic harmony. However, this desire remains unsatisfied due to the lack of a suitable partner or adverse conditions, and he keeps a strict and watchful control on his emotional relationships as he needs to know precisely where he stands. Is fastidious, esthetic, and has a cultured taste which allows him to form and express his own taste and judgment, especially in the fields of art and artistic creativity. Strives to ally with others who can assist him in his intellectual or artistic growth.


Your Restrained Characteristics

Circumstances are such that he feels forced to compromise for the time being if he is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.


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.


Your Actual Problem #2

Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for his personal accomplishments.

It's amazingly true(For the most part)

GatoFiero 09-11-2004 02:39 AM

Wow, I took the test and some of the results were off for me, but others where eerily accurate.

Thaumaturge 09-11-2004 06:42 AM

Your Existing Situation
Physical illness, over-tension, or emotional distress have taken a severe toll. His self-esteem has been reduced and now needs peaceful conditions and considerate treatment to permit recovery.


Well, that's news to me!

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.


That's actually about right.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Believes that he is not receiving his share--that he is neither properly understood or adequately appreciated. Feels that he is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave him without any sense of emotional involvement.


Hmm... not really.


Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.


That's generally pretty true of me.

Your Desired Objective
Unwilling to participate and wishes to avoid all forms of stimulation. Has had to put up with too much of a tiring or exhausting nature and now desires protection and noninvolvement


I don't know where it got this from.

Your Actual Problem
Needs to protect himself against his tendency to be too trusting, as he finds it is liable to be misunderstood or exploited by others.


Actually, I've found that people are generally quite deserving of trust.

As a result, he adopts a critical and stand-offish attitude, being willing to participate only where he can be assured of sincerity and trustworthiness.

The last half is pretty true, but I'm not sure of the first half.

True true, though again there are a few parts not completely right.

Needs to feel identified with someone or something and wishes to win support by his charm and amiability. Sentimental and yearns for a romantic tenderness.
True.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics he admires and to display originality in his own personality.
Pretty much true, but a bit less than the previous things...

This is so creepy...

Zweihander 09-12-2004 05:53 PM

Took the quiz without realizing there was a thread here on it. Already posted to my LiveJournal . Its all eerily accurate.

Wee! I get TWO problems to deal with.

Not too sure about this one. But I guess it's sort of true.

I think this one reflects me very well. ^^

Quote:

Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealized harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything esthetic.
Sure. Why not?

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.
Oh yes. I would say "sincerity" or "kindness" rather than "charm". Charm sounds, kind of... weird.

Gunner11B 09-12-2004 06:26 PM

I have 1 quetion about it though. How is it so dang accurate from just deciding colors. It some how described me perfectly, FROM COLORS, and i took it again and got just about everything the same.

Ok. Mine makes me sound like some attention whore. But I swear, I'm not!!

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Needs warm companionship, but is intolerant of anything short of special consideration from those close to him. If this is not forthcoming, is liable to shut himself away from them.
See what I mean? I don't know about this part. I have yet to shut myself away from someone simply b/c they don't give me special consideration. In fact, I think I be freaked out by them if they did.

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own,
Maybe why I joined this forum?

and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.
Sure. I'll go with it.

Clings to his belief that his hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs encouragement and reassurance. Applies very exacting standards to his choice of a partner and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment.
My ideas are realistic! As for the rest, sure.

I avoid conflict, but I don't easily take offense, at least not in my opinion.

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Intense, vital, and animated, taking a delight in action. Activity is directed towards success or conquest and there is a desire to live life to the fullest.
I will conquer you all!! This one is kinda ironic, b/c I'm a very lazy person. I do enjoy doing things when I'm not though, so its right there.


Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for his personal accomplishments.
The attention whore thing again.

Overall, Its telling you guys to pay more attention to me! (just joking.)

Don't think I'm making fun of the test. I'm not. If anything its too close to the mark, and I'm coping with embarrasing myself, by posting this, by making fun of myself. That, and I just like to make fun of things. :D

Little Unicorn Boy 09-12-2004 06:34 PM

Your Existing Situation
Conflict and dissatisfaction of one sort or another enforce the need for the compensations indicated by the + group.


whoahoa. spot on.

Your Stress Sources
Unfulfilled hopes have led to uncertainty and apprehension. Needs to feel secure and to avoid any further disappointment, and fears being passed over or losing standings and prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads him to make exaggerated demands and to refuse to make reasonable compromises.


holy shit. exactly.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow himself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense, leaving him rather isolated in his attachments.

Feels that he is receiving less than his share and that there is no one on whom he can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make him quick to take offense, but he realizes that he has to make the best of things as they are.


that gets more and more creepily true toward the end.

Your Desired Objective
Has a powerful drive towards sensuousness.


I don't know what that means.

Your Actual Problem
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and he is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship or adequate appreciation. He attempts to escape from this into a stable and secure environment in which he can relax and feel more contented.


I guess.

that was erie.

Heh, I'm also like that when stressed.

I don't know, I'd say that you have some charm :).

Stover 09-13-2004 09:53 AM

Why not:
Sensitive and understanding but under some strain; needs to unwind in the company of someone close to him.

Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that he has a right to anything he might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against him. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees himself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince himself that his failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.

Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no one to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.
Conditions are such that he will not let himself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.

Feels too much is being asked of him and is tired out, but still wants to overcome his difficulties and establish himself despite the effect such an effort would house on him. Proud, but redesigned in his attitude. Needs recognition, security, and fewer problems.


Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety. Desires recognition and position, but is worried about his prospects. Reacts to this by protecting at any criticism and resisting any attempt to influence him. Tries to assert himself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen his position.

Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. This sense of powerlessness, combined with frustration that he cannot control events, subjects him to agitation, irritation, and acute distress. He tries to escape these by stubborn insistence on his own point of view, but the general condition of helplessness renders this often unsuccessful. Is therefore very sensitive to criticism and quick to take offense.


"Tries to assert himself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen his position." and "Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration." are the only real thing that stuck me in this quiz, because they are both surprisingly true.

SpokAvriel 09-13-2004 12:39 PM

You knew someone would
 
I had to do it. I went in and did everything backwords, choosing the colors I thought were the worst or were least noticable among the others. I even put in the oposite gender and strangely the result is a close match for Girls I tend to be attracted to.

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Trying to improve her position and prestige. Dissatisfied with her existing circumstances and considers some improvement essential to her self-esteem.

Your Stress Sources
An existing situation or relationship is unsatisfactory, but she feels unable to improve it without willing cooperation. Unwilling to expose her vulnerability and therefore considers it inadvisable to display affection or to be over-demonstrative. She regards the relationship as a depressing tie but, although she wants to be independent and unhampered, she does not want to risk losing anything. All this leads her to react touchily and with impatience, while the urge to 'get away from it all' results in considerable restlessness. The ability to concentrate may suffer.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved as she feels rater isolated and alone. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense, though she tries to avoid open conflict.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Able to obtain physical satisfaction from sexual activity but tends to hold aloof emotionally.


Your Desired Objective
Intense, vital, and animated, taking a delight in action. Activity is directed towards success or conquest and there is a desire to live life to the fullest.

Your Actual Problem
Anxiety and restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional requirements, have produced stress. She tries to escape by intense activity, directed either towards personal success or towards variety of experience.

Your Actual Problem #2
Fights against restriction or limitation, and insists on developing freely as a result of her own efforts.
Anyone else willing to check out this strange phenomena. I find it is almost as suprising, when you see the similaraties to people you like that way, in the results. As the feeling of it reading your mind.

The + group? What's that supposed to mean?

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
The tenacity and strength of will necessary to contend with existing difficulties has become weakened. Feels overtaxed, worn out, and getting nowhere, but continues to stand her ground. She feels this adverse situation as an actual tangible pressure which is intolerable to her and from which she wants to escape, but she feels unable to make the necessary decision.
I think that's about right...

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in her sex life.
Willing to become emotionally involved as she feels rather isolated and alone. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense, though she tries to avoid open conflict.
True, 'specially the last line.

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Seeks affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Desires an intimate union, in which there is a love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust.
I doubt it.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Tensions and stresses induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond her capabilities or reserves of strength have led to considerable anxiety, and a sense of personal (but admitted) inadequacy. She seeks to escape into a more peaceful and problem-free situation, in which she will no longer have to assert herself or contend with so much pressure.
That's probably true for the most part, but a lot of those conditions don't exist and are really minor things I exaggerate in my mind.

Edit: Bleh. Just realized that my actual problem #2 either didn't show up or I missed it.

Not everyone gets two problems and a few people didn't get a real problem not sure why though.

PsyBlade 09-13-2004 07:59 PM

Accurate

Unhappy at the resistance he feels whenever he tries to assert himself. Indignant and resentful because of these setbacks, but gives way apathetically and makes whatever adjustments are necessary so that he can have peace and quiet.

Oefina 09-13-2004 09:05 PM

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.

Most definatly.

Your Stress Sources
Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness and to bridge the gap which he feels separates himself from others. Anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to explore all its possibilities, and to live it to the fullest. He therefore resents any restriction or limitation being imposed on him and insists on being free and unhampered.

You know it!

Your Restrained Characteristics
The situation is preventing him from establishing himself, but he feels he must make the best of things as they are.
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity, but tries to avoid conflict.

Yep. I'm not into sex though. Christian.

I don't see that as a problem though...

Your Actual Problem #2

Wow, that, that is really true.

Woah, dude. This is the most accurate quiz I've ever taken, in my life. :eek:

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Working to improve his image in the eyes of others in order to obtain their compliance and agreement with his needs and wishes.

Your Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he normally imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticize his behavior with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels listless, hemmed in, and anxious; considers that circumstances and forcing him to restrain his desires. Wants to avoid open conflict with others and to have peace and quiet.
Insists that his goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them, even though circumstances are forcing him to compromise. Very exacting in the standards he applies to his choice of a partner.


Your Desired Objective
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.

Your Actual Problem
Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.

Your Actual Problem #2
Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of his hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. He is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting him from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.



Sounds pretty accurate to me...a little too accurate...

Heh...we've got another attention whore here, I'm afraid.

Yeah, and there's the rub: how does one merge with the group for all the warm fuzziness, and still be, what is it? Preeminent.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels listless, hemmed in, and anxious; considers that circumstances and forcing her to restrain her desires. Wants to avoid open conflict with others and to have peace and quiet.
Clings to her belief that her hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs encouragement and reassurance. Applies very exacting standards to her choice of a partner and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment.

Conditions are such that she will not let herself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.

Reassurance? Yeah, that'd be nice. My friends usually tell me things like, "Good will never triumph over evil, people are weak and want to be controlled, etc etc" and basically offer me, like, negative reassurance.

Your Desired Objective
Wants to make a favorable impression and be recognized. Needs to feel appreciated and admired. Sensitive and easily hurt if no notice is taken of her or if she is not given adequate acknowledgment.


Living in the limelight, the universal dream...

Your Actual Problem
Needs to be valued and respected as an exceptional individual, in order to increase her self-esteem and her feeling of personal worth. Resists mediocrity and sets herself high standards.


Yeah...I keep waiting for the summons to battle An Ancient and Powerful Foe of Creation, but it must've gotten lost in the mail or something. But, while I wait, why settle, y'know? Up yours, mediocrity!

On a side note, is it wise to be posting the fragments of our innermost psyches on the net for anybody to see?

I mean, I'm going to do it whether it's a bad idea or not...I AM an attention whore, after all... :D

Of course not! Stalkers worldwide can use it to mess with you. But it sure is fun, isn't it?

Mostly true, though i'm quite physically fit, thank you!

Quote:

Your Stress Sources

Right on the button there.

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics

Wants to establish himself and make an impact despite unfavorable circumstances and a general lack of appreciation.
That's true.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem

Very accurate.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem #2
Works to strengthen his position and bolster his self-esteem by examining his own accomplishments (and those of others) with critical appraisal and scientific discrimination. Insists on having things clear-cut and unequivocal.
Nail on the head, there.

Overall, almost completely accurate. It's scary to think that they can determine that much of my psyche by just having me pick out colors.
