Color Aptitude Test


I was on Yahoo! the other day and saw this article about a Favorite Colors test by the Dewey Color System. The article talked about how CEOs pick different colors than the average person, revealing certain similar personality characteristics. It was pretty intriguing so I decided to take the free aptitude test. It's a pretty quick test. Basically, you pick colors that most appeal to you and then the colors that appeal to you the least. The result then tells you what "occupational category" your career should be in. This test takes maybe a minute or so. Sometimes in verbal or written tests, like the Myers-Briggs personality test, you can guess what answer you need in order to get a certain personality result. As this test is about picking colors, there are no right or wrong answers. My result... 


You're a Creator
"Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional" (some of these I'm not so sure about... maybe I've suppressed my inner nature...)

"These original types place a high value on aesthetic qualities and have a great need for self-expression. They enjoy working independently, being creative, using their imagination, and constantly learning something new. Fields of interest are art, drama, music, and writing or places where they can express, assemble, or implement creative ideas."

"Suggested careers are Advertising Executive, Architect, Web Designer, Creative Director, Public Relations, Fine or Commercial Artist, Interior Decorator, Lawyer, Librarian, Musician, Reporter, Art Teacher, Broadcaster, Technical Writer, English Teacher, Photographer, Medical Illustrator, Corporate Trainer, Author, Editor, Landscape Architect, Exhibit Builder, and Package Designer." (It is interesting to note, more than a few of these careers I have considered at one time or another. I chose to be a photographer, so I guess I chose correctly!)

"Consider workplaces where you can create and improve beauty and aesthetic qualities. Unstructured, flexible organizations that allow self-expression work best with your free-spirited nature."

It then goes to list some workspaces as well as a secondary career options. I took the test twice. Both times, my first career type was Creator. The secondary types were first Social Manager. The second time it was Persuader. Overall I thought the test was interesting. If any of you take the test, let me know which category you are in!
