Title: What career is yours according to your preferable colors?
Post by: erico on 2012-Jun-30
After Wampus´ post on ´what kind of thinker are you', I have decided to follow the lead, hehe :nana:

This test is supposed to point your possible career/area of work, that you are most likely to succeed.
All based on your choice of color you like best or worse.
Quite funky.

Funny is, that I guess almost all of us already have a career of some degree going, it is fun to check wether this thing can at least get close to it. :P

I found this stuff by this article here on the escapist, in case you wanna read more before wasting time:

It seems I´m a CREATOR.
Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic :puke:, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional.

How do you guys score? Does it have anything to do with what you do for living?

Best: Creator
2nd Best: Persuader

It doesn't really match with what I do, but to some of my hobbies it does.

Persistence and patience allows them to do detailed paperwork, operate office machines, write business reports, and make charts and graphs.
Organizing, Data Systems, Accounting? Feck off! Paperwork and reports? Likewise. Operate office machines? A computer maybe, but that's it.

I agree with most of that. I wish I did have high energy - I'm constantly knackered, mainly due to shift-work.

These adventurous types prefer action-oriented, concrete problems rather than dealing with thought-provoking, ambiguous, abstract dilemmas. Fields of interest include mechanical, construction, and outdoor careers. They might also enjoy working with machines, tools, and equipment to repair or build something.
This is mostly crap - I love abstract and ambiguousproblems (that's why I code) and solve puzzles (my main focus of coding and the games I code).

Doesn't even mention me being creative at all. Bollocks, but a nice waste of 5minutes (while at work!).

Funky how humans enjoy predicting future or knowing answers before.
Strange that this is a color test, as each one´s approach to color is heavy mood related(I guess).

Preferable colors when you wake up are bound to be quite different from before going to sleep.

I´m not sure being color blind would make any difference, since what we understand of colors is bound to the physiology as we understand it. We can never be sure the same red I see is the same as anyone else, but the code we are tought behind such recognitions. And I would not even strive on the colors we see when we dream :P

Didn´t said that because of it, but for too much time studying colors.
It feels like I know a lot less then before.
