Just tried it, the fact was, I preferred the 'natural' colors basically and didn't really go for the artificial colors until the natural ones were taken. I can see how they interpreted that in the profile.
I was taken with the written profile, but all of the things there are 1) positive about you, and somewhat 2) negative about how you think you matches up with the world.
I think those two things apply to 99% of the pop., that is, most people feel somewhat frustrated by their ability to make a mark, and most people feel themselves to be sensitive, intelligent.
I have to say, on most of the color choices I felt I was essentially choosing at random, without any particular preference.
Also obviously they take into account how fast you take the survey, which figures into the description via: you are a very decisive person, etc. This is sort of obvious.
I then took the test choosing the colors in random, sort of taking the colors in no discernible order in terms of how I felt about it. This may not be in the spirit of the test but then what came out also sounded quite plausible.
I think that as with most of these things, what comes out mirrors closely what goes in in a relatively transparent way...essentially, I find little of real 'scientific' value in this since the algorithm used to produce the profiles was obviously constructed by someone using generalizations, and generalizations are therefore produced, and so what applies to the individual at hand in particular is pretty hard to ascertain. Any more input from the psychologists?
It is a parlor game, and there's nothing wrong with that though! Cool, thanks for ths link!
