Personality by colors

I found this site: http://www.colorgenics.com/ that gives personality analysis, based on color selection. When I first saw it, I was sure it is another foolish personality analyzer like dozens of other on the net. But, the results are amazing! It is definetelly worth an examination. Felix.

It says I was emotional and sensitive. :laugh: :(( :laugh: I'm not. Oh well, I was kind of rushing through the thing. David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision. The Devil's Dictionary, Ambrose Bierce -

Pick the colors at random. The result will be just as good as if you selected them properly. This is just basically another horoscope type thing. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Your right Tim. Most of the responses are actually pretty depressing! I did a number of them at random and they seemed to fit my current situation as well... I must admit that when I did it for real, it felt really close to home.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Even though I know how this stuff works, it is still CREEPY as hell. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document?

Felix Gartsman wrote: When I first saw it, I was sure it is another foolish personality analyzer like dozens of other on the net. IMHO, your first reaction was correct ;). The language used in the report is sufficiently general that it could apply to most people responding. I develop psychometric reporting software for a growing training company which uses our reports as the core of its business, and as my language skills are good I have also been involved in writing and correcting text for questionnaires and reports. It is possible to write psychometrics which do a pretty good job of analysing personality - although I was initially very sceptical, I believe the system ours uses works well - but this "Colorgenics" system falls at one of the first hurdles. The meanings associated with colours vary from one culture to another, so even if Colorgenics were to work in, say, the States, it could very well be complete tosh in Japan. Our system is not, ahem, whiter than white. :-O We use colours as a shorthand to describe your personality once you have completed the system (Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green, Cool Blue), but at least we define what the colours mean and explain them. We don't base our analysis of your personality on a guess as to what we think a colour might mean to you! :~ (We will also go into far more detail than the colours mentioned above, which are only convenient handles to make personality types easy to discuss at the highest level.)

I find it unlikly that a Flash Authored product would have great psychological integrety. But there might be some rational, to picking your favourite colours. Such things as Flash Colours are known and the use of color as a sedative etc. I think some of the fields such as "color therapy" are whacko and totally unsubstantiated. Regardz Colin J Davies

Tim Smith wrote: The result will be just as good as if you selected them properly That's not entirely true. When I took the time to relax and follow through one at a time like it suggested, I got a result (let's call it [a]). I then randomly selected colours with my music blaring out so much my glasses were vibrating, and although individual statements (presumably based on n ... n+1 choices as best as I can tell) were close, the whole thing was way off. I think, like all things that must have predetermined generalised information for dynamic output, it will have to make some assumptions, but overall I was very impressed with it - as were my parents and my friends who went through the process. When it was first brought up in the now ex. R&R forum, I took a few hours to research the company/professional behind it, and there seems to be something solid behind all the fluff. Like hypnosis, people are often sceptical about things like this until they have experienced them first hand. ____________________ David Wulff I'll have a slow comfortable screw against the wall followed up with sex on the beach and a screaming orgasm on the rocks, please.

I agree with Tim: I suppose they do have some algorithm to match your clicks to the building blocks of your personality sheet, but if you pick randomly, you still get "surprising" results - this is, until you start to *think* about the results step by step - what they really say and especially what they don't say.

Oh, yes peterchen, I fully expect that, like if a newspaper/magazine actually mixed up the various horoscopes provided, no one would really notice. I don't really expect this color idea to work with any accuracy worth notable relevance. I was just suggesting that the idea could plausably have some merit although I'm dubious the author implimented it. But the results it gives are so general that they could apply to anyone. Some sort of test like this properly implimented by a psychology department could probably verify it once and for all. Regardz Colin J Davies

Ex: "You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures" Would someone who is busy doing "everything" take an online personality test that asks you to relax and then click color tubes? "Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your 'missed opportunities' by living your life to the full." So what? basically they take back everything the first sentence could mean. "You don't have much of a life, but when you can, you do". So I tried around a bit - tried two first colors withyy varying (random) follow-ups - it seems to pick the first paragraph "your current general mood": start with black & red - you're single yellow & blue - in a relationship and more likely female blue&green - you need a peaceful environment blue&black - uptight & need to relax black&blue - you're the central figure of the next Columbine gray&black - columbine is not enough - 9/11 is more like it pink(?)&blue - you need love badly* red&yellow - you want success. badly. and "deep down you're a winner"* yellow&red - You're full of ideas, and people don't listen *) these were tested with only three random follow up picks, but never ever the rule was broken: the first two colors determine the first paragraph brown & red as second pair gives you the "Columbine" (black&blue as first) paragraph as second I did never find a combinaiton that said "you're fine." or "you're colorblind" P.S. I do have a color vision impairment.

You just need a bunch of people and record their choices, a few psychology students to "rate" them on ca. 4-8 independent axes ("very emotional-not emotional", "hectic-relaxed" etc) in a double-blind test (i.e. the psychos don't know the picked colors, the guinea pigs don't know their profile - and didn't pass the probably self-reflective evaluation before picking the colors), then use some math students to find correlations inbeetween (without them knowing what this data represents) To make this quadruple-blind, take a good random number generator, and a second group of math grinders, and repeat. :cool:

Thats exactly the sort of thing I had in mind, although I hadn't put that much detailed thought into it. My personal guess is it won't show any trend of color picking methods. But until it's been tested we can't totally debunk it. Maybe a test has already been done, its amazing what tests have actually been tried. Regardz Colin J Davies
