Caraccioli Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) This was sort of interesting - it's a test to see what sort of career paths you might enjoy using nothing but colors. The concept seems a bit sketchy. The results had some good points and some bad ones for me. I'll trim all the career suggestions they gave me so as not to needlessly fill the screen with junk, but my results came up as: "Best Occupational Category: You're a CREATOR Key Words: Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional" Uh, only the first and fifth words seems appropriate to me. Of all the things I am not, romantic, sensitive and emotional are probably near the top of that list "2nd Best Occupational Category: You're a PERSUADER Key Words: Witty, Competitive, Sociable, Talkative, Ambitious, Argumentative, and Aggressive " Better, but still off. So it's a mixed bag. If it amuses you, you can try this test HERE. Note that you have to give them some info like your email address, but from my experiment, you can type in garbage there like UncleWiggly@rabbitsa.com and it'll probably accept it.

michaelsbagley Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Huh, I think it pegged me rather well... Best Occupational Category You're an ORGANIZER Key Words: Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate 2nd Best Occupational Category You're a DOER Key Words: Emotionally Stable, Reliable, High Energy, Practical, Thrifty, and Persistent Although after looking at the Key Words for Creator, I wonder if that may apply better than either of the two above categories? I would be very curious to see how many archetypes this colour test breaks things into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kian McBrian Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 <h2 class="Title">Best Occupational Category</h2> You're a CREATOR Key Words: Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional 2nd Best Occupational Category You're a SOCIAL MANAGER Key Words: Tactful, Cooperative, Generous, Understanding, Insightful, Friendly, and Cheerful Sounds good to me but then again.....throw in a mish mash of adjectives and at least one of them will hit home for someone...still was kinda fun to do Half Moon Marauders Irish Diplomacy... is the ability to tell a man to go to hell so that he looks forward to making the trip.

LadyBarbossa Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hmmm... most interesting. Gave it a shot... here's what it said about me: <><><><><><><><><><><><><> Best Occupational Category You're an ORGANIZER Key Words: Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate These conservative appearing, plotting-types enjoy organizing, data systems, accounting, detail, and accuracy. They often enjoy mathematics and data management activities such as accounting and investment management. Persistence and patience allows them to do detailed paperwork, operate office machines, write business reports, and make charts and graphs. ORGANIZER CAREERS Suggested careers are Administrator, Secretary, Printer, Paralegal, Building Inspector, Bank Cashier, Private Secretary, Statistician, Operations Manager, Financial Analyst, Bookkeeper, Medical Records Technician, Developer of Business or Computer Systems, Clerical Worker, Proofreader, Accountant, Administrative Assistant, Banker, Certified Public Accountant, Credit Manager, Store Salesperson, Actuary, Dental Assistant, Business Education Teacher, Food Service Manager, IRS Agent, Budget Analyst, and Underwriter. ORGANIZER WORKPLACES Your very careful, conscientious, conservative nature gives others the confidence to trust you with handling money and material possessions. Structured organizations that have well-ordered chains of command work best for you. Suggested Organizer workplaces are large corporations, business offices, financial lending institutions, banks, insurance companies, accounting firms, and quality control and inspection departments. 2nd Best Occupational Category You're a PERSUADER Key Words: Witty, Competitive, Sociable, Talkative, Ambitious, Argumentative, and Aggressive These enterprising types sell, persuade, and lead others. Positions of leadership, power, and status are usually their ultimate goal. Persuasive people like to take financial and interpersonal risks and to participate in competitive activities. They enjoy working with others inside organizations to accomplish goals and achieve economic success. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> I suppose that would sound like me. However, not all that good at persuading. And organization... well, all the above businesses don't seem to think so. Course never done any of that so...:::Shrugs::: wouldn't know. I usually come up with ideas. Most people don't really like that. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

blackjohn Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Being partially colorblind I often wonder if these sorts of tests really work for me. Considering my results, I'd say yes. I guess my percpetion of the actual colors is close enough. #Best Occupational Category You're a CREATOR Key Words: Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional These original types place a high value on aesthetic qualities and have a great need for self-expression.

CREATOR WORKPLACES Consider workplaces where you can create and improve beauty and aesthetic qualities.
