Colour Test!

Courtesy of YHL, the Color Career Counselor.

What are you supposed to be?  Does it match up? (The test only take a few minutes, and when it asks for your address and all that, you can hit "No thanks" and still get your results)

Apparently I'm a creator and should be an English teacher. Huh.

Re: Colour Test!

  • I was just going to post this!

     Apparently I'm an Organizer (no surprises there lol, and Researcher was #2 for me) but one of the proposed careers for me was IRS Agent. Really???

  • I'm an organizer followed by a researcher. Sounds just like me! I would love to be a researcher in the microbiology field!!! My job is completly different than these though!

  • Every time I click to get my results, it just starts the test over.  What am I doing wrong?

  • I'm a creator. Funny that a test like that could be so accurate.

    I think that says your ideal job is not as a computer operator. Stick out tongue

    Just kidding

    Could it be your browser?

  • I'm a creator.  Kind of fits for a hair stylist!

     

  • creator, followed by social manager.

    interesting. i am pretty artistic, though my career doesn't require any artistic skills or creativity.

  • I'm a creator, followed by a doer.  My current job definitely fits that one more - but I'd rather be doing something more creative.

    I've been debating a job change when the economy improves.  Maybe I'll just pick one from this list? :)

  • Pretty interesting test.. it matches up because it really nailed my work life and personal life even though the two career categories are completely opposite.

    I'm a creator which comes with keywords like: Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional. Totally me by nature, especially in my personal life.

    My second is an organizer with completely opposite keywords: Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate. This is my whole work life - aviation with all it's rules and guidelines and structure and checklists, which I absolutely love.

    I must sound conflicted :p

  • I'm a creator, followed by persuader. Fairly accurate, I think. :o)

     Tee-hee!  Stick out tongue

    Okay, I finally got it work.  I am a Creator, followed by Organizer.  Dead on, I think!  I'm a music teacher, so that explains the Creator part: the need for things to aesthetically pleasing, imagination, etc.  My favorite part of my job is getting ready for concerts and doing big projects with the kids (rather than "just singing" with my kids, like when I was little), so that explains the Organizer part, too.

  • fun test...said I was a Creator & 2nd Persuader (probably this more than Creator) & my job definitely doesn't call for any creativity!

    Seriously, me too!

    I am a Creator and Persuader! 

    Especially the keywords:

    Best Occupational Category

    You're a CREATOR

    Keywords
    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. 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. CREATOR OCCUPATIONS
    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, Architect, Photographer, Medical Illustrator, Corporate Trainer, Author, Editor, Landscape Architect, Exhibit Builder, and Package Designer.

    CREATOR WORKPLACES
    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.

    And then:

    2nd Best Occupational Category

    You're a PERSUADER

    Keywords:

    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.

  • This is pretty cool! I'm a RESEARCHER followed by a DOER. Sounds exactly like me but I should be in a more creative job position...which is what I've been thinking for some time!

     Seems like it's pretty accurate for all of us!

  • That was cool. I am a ORGANIZER followed by a DOER.  I should look for a new job:-)
