Haha so I found this link


http://www.deweycolorsystem.org/take-the-test.html


when I was shiftily sneaking around in the pre-med forum. It uses your color preferences to try to determine your 'best occupation'. Only takes a second and well damn. I won't say it didn't suprise me! So since I'm killing time waiting for my experiment to finish up, I figured I'd post this over here so we can have some fun.

I took it and it does not fit me at all. I am probably one of the least organized people I know. 😳

These conservative appearing, plotting-types enjoy organizing, data systems, accounting, detail, and accuracy.

haha i just looked at mine again and it says my best occupation is researcher but that my dislikes are "group projects, selling, and repetitive activities"

not sure what is more repetitive than research!

Then my second best occupation is "social manager" where I 'enjoy working in groups'

those two contradict each other juuuuust a little.

haha. oh well 😛
 
just curious because im a researcher too, what colors are at the top of your list? my fav color is purple and the other colors i chose in order were magenta, orange, teal, blue, yellow. lime green was always my least fav
 
Not to get too analytical about some internet test results, but I do hate repetitive things a whole lot, and that's why I rotate through my 3 main research projects and the tasks to be done on those projects such that I never do the same thing twice in one week, it seems. 😛

edit: always teal, green, blue, magenta, purple and eventually I was presented with a slate full of "ugly colors" (orange, brown, lime green, gold, etc) and kind of picked at random except brown was last.

Ha yeah.... right. Most accurate career testing instrument, my ass.
 
I'm a creator...suggested careers include artist, designer, illustrator, musician, ect...

Yeah, this is pretty silly--the only thing I've ever been able to draw with any accuracy are goats...

I picked brown last too!

maybe brown-haters are researchers?! haha

I picked the blues and greens first then black and white, purples then reds and oranges finally lime green and brown were my last two.
 
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.

Funny that those boldfaced careers would show up--they're ones I've considered in the past. I think I'd be a great medical/scientific illustrator; I've got the drawing skills and I'd enjoy doing the necessary research to make sure I know what I'm drawing and that it's accurate. I've also thought it would be cool to create exhibits for museums, particularly natural history museums.

And when I was a kid I not only wanted to be a vet, but I wanted to be an architect as well--specifically a zoo architect, because I didn't like the ugly buildings at the zoo, or any enclosure that had metal bars between the animals and their viewers. When I was in fifth grade I had to write a paper on elephants, but I got bored writing the paper. So instead I drew an elaborately detailed bunch of floorplans and elevations for an ideal elephant exhibit and turned those in instead. My teacher was not amused. :laugh:

(FWIW, my favorite primary was blue, but after that I tended to prefer hot colors--orange, then magenta, then red-orange, red, purple, indigo--teal, lime green, and yellow were last.)

lol that's so weird! Lime green is my least fave color as well. My 2nd best occupation was social manager. "Fields of interest are instructing, helping, nurturing, care giving and instructing-especially young people." I suppose vet would fit in his category 🙂 minus the young people thing. Although I do love kids

I picked almost EXACTLY this same order! Freaky. 🙂

For some reason though I like gold even though I don't really like yellow... I don't mind brown either but it was towards the end with orange and red definitely being last.

I got researcher too, by the way. My second category was occupational manager.
 
I'm a doer! "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."
The occupations sound so manly for that... One of my favorites from my list was a plumber. According to my dad I already have the pants for that one. So long vet school!
 
I'm a Researcher too!

Whenever White came up, I always picked that last. White is sooo blah and boring 😛
 
I got creator first which makes sense because I do like to draw sometimes.

Second, it got persuader, which is funny because I am not agressive, argumentative, or sociable at all, and I'm always hearing about how I should be more competitive. I'm more of the quiet type.

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.

I put orange as my least favorite, that orange was yucky and reminded me of our seventh grade classrooms which were that color.
 
Boy, that didn't get me at all really. It said I was a creator and I believe I am the least creative person out there. Oh well.

Hey, I match yours Clairbear. 🙂
 
You're a DOER

Keywords
Emotionally Stable, Reliable, High Energy, Practical, Thrifty, and Persistent


These adventurous types prefer action-oriented, concrete problems rather than dealing with thought-provoking, ambiguous, abstract dilemmas.

Organizer here as well.

I love to organize 😍 (maybe not that much, but you know...)
