I was really worried when the screen where you have to rank all the colors came up, but I was surprised with how ugly I found the final 5 colors. The results came out fairly accurate, but I chalk that up to coincidence.

I'm a creator and it says a comfortable career might be in art or music or drama.

Yep, that's pretty accurate.

It told me that the moon was in Taurus and I should do something spontaneous. And the Internet says I'm an INFJ, so I know good advice when I see it.

(Sigh.)

Sad thing is, it seems as legitimate as those tests my high school guidance counselor would make us take for an hour a week, then treat the results as gospel.

Hahaha! It says I'm an Organizer which is just... ridiculous. In the past, I tried to be a secretary/PA and was absolutely terrible at it and utterly miserable. Mind you, assuming a test like this is going to give you a sensible/worthwhile result is also ridiculous. Very silly. Entertaining though.

Hmmm, not convinced. I got the Organiser and the Doer. While I like to be organised, the career choices are way wrong for me. There is no way I want to be anywhere near accounting or the like. I'm studying to be a geologist so the second one is a little more accurate, but I am not emotionally stable or high energy XD. Even the short one said I was better suited to accounting (I love how my least 2 favourite colours are used for geology in the short one...)

I'm a Creator? How ridiculous! I took a break from all my ongoing projects for this?

...it may be on to something.

Doer/Organiser, not terribly wrong actually. But, well Monkey's and typewriters.

Creator - Social Manager
First one i'll give it always been into art and making things but the second hell no
"This very social type enjoys working in groups, sharing responsibilities, and being the center of attention. Fields of interest are instructing, helping, nurturing, care giving and instructing-especially young people. They discuss and consider feelings in order to solve problems, lead, direct, persuade, guide, organize and enlighten others."

Pretty much dislike all of those things, I'm not a great socialiser due to the fact I dislike the colour green.

Utter nonsense, it's crap like this that makes people suspicious of actual, empirically tested, personality theories.

Best Occupational Category
You're a CREATOR
Keywords

Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional


These original types place a high value on self-expression. They enjoy working independently, being creative, using their imagination, and constantly learning something new. Areas of interest are far beyond the expected fields of art, drama, music, and writing. There are many occupations that allow creators to express, assemble, or implement ideas and maximize resources.

CREATOR OCCUPATIONS
Typical ?Creators? function best in occupations where they have the autonomy to be original. It?s essential. In fact, your best career is mostly about your workplace environment. For Example, Educational careers, Corporate Trainer, Author, Editor, have constant demands for new perspectives or better methods. Without flexibility, however these careers are a not a good fit. Careers that typically have these qualities, but not always, 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, , Landscape Architect, Exhibit Builder, and Package Designer.

CREATOR WORKPLACES
Unstructured, flexible organizations that allow self-expression work best with this free-spirited type. Ironically, professions that appear to be ?Creative? can inhibit self-expression. Those that seem overly structured like Tax Assessor can actually offer the latitude to make a difference. Most enjoyable workplaces allow for self-expression with the capability to improve the status quo.
Don?t be befuddled by the word ?Creative.? Creator workplaces are much broader that the ?Typical Creative Careers? like interior decorating firms; artistic studios, theaters and concert halls; institutions that teach crafts, universities, music, and dance schools. In order to see your best recommendation, check out the Color Career Indictor 4.0 for actual occupational listing.

Considering I'm a freelance video editor, work in production in news (which while fun at times I find drawl and dislike the environment. And it TELLS me I'd hate broadcasting lol), and trying to make my way into episodic tv. It hit my passion pretty well on.

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.

I'm damn good at convincing people and bullshitting my way through things. I also can be a total dick and I'm not afraid to step on someone who I don't think deserves it to get where I want to be. (Hey I'm working on it!)

This quiz has done much better than I expected.

My result says
Best Occupational Category
You're an ORGANIZER
Keywords

Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate

These conservative appearing, plotting-types enjoy organizing, data systems, accounting, detail, and accuracy. They often enjoy mathematics and data management activities such as accounting and investment management. Persistence and patience allows them to do detailed paperwork, operate office machines, write business reports, and make charts and graphs.
But all I'm taking from this is that it wants me to have the most boring, repetitive, hated professions on the planet. I'll give you that I like accuracy, precision, and systematic operations, but if you're honestly trying to tell me I should enjoy being an IRS agent, I've got a great patch of land beneath a bridge I'd like you to get acquainted with.

I don't mind the combination of Organizer and Doer, however, for that just seems appropriate. Plan first, then do, it's not that hard.

Lets just say that this test was off the mark by a mile. But then again it listed so many occupations that some of them were bound to be right. Might as well rely on horoscopes for my next job.

captcha: om nom nom. Wrong again! I'm drinking tea not eating, you silly captcha.

Top result: I'm an Organiser

Second result: I'm a Do-er

I agree with both of these, but not so much the jobs listed below the first one. It's all accountancy and stuff, and I hate maths and numbers D:

In common with a lot of people who posted their outcome, I am a CREATOR and PERSUADER. Pretty accurate. Gives me some hope. This made my day.

1st...number cruncher pretty much...like..an accountant or somthing "Suggested Organizer workplaces are large corporations, business offices, financial lending institutions, banks, insurance companies, accounting firms, and quality control and inspection departments.

<-it is kind of funny though since I pretty much work in that industry/that exact kind of place (not anything "skilled" I just scan paper work)

2nd reasearcher...actually seemed a little more like me

You're a SOCIAL MANAGER
Keywords:

Tactful, Cooperative, Generous, Understanding, Insightful, Friendly, and Cheerful
Well, that's neat, I suppose. Not really surprising after I saw it had me choosing between primary, secondary and tertiary colors on an aesthetic level. It's not much different than reading into a person by their fashion or decorating choices, and I knew exactly where this was heading. Interesting that I am actually an artist, but those keywords are pretty much the complete opposite of the adjectives I'd choose to define myself. The 2nd career category, maybe a little more so.

I tried taking this test earlier this week and it kept bringing me back to the first section when I hit the results button v:
