10% Devotion: Pencils Down! (Personality and Aptitude testing)

As early as possible I want to do a good amount of personality and aptitude tests so that I can have quantitative results to compare as the test goes on.  I see some of these results changing, while others like the color test I really can’t see being affected much.. But we shall see!

Color Test: http://www.colorquiz.com

The test itself is based upon fundamentals in color psychology. With years of research by color psychologists the characteristics of certain colors has been identified to cause an emotional response in people. This was done by studying the response from hundreds of thousands of test subjects around the world in order to isolate how certain colors make us feel. By doing the reverse, using the colors people prefer to determine how people feel, we can get some interesting indicators about a person’s current emotional state.

Results:

The IPIP and statistical computations are dynamic, meaning the test evolves with every single participant to produce arguably the world’s most reliable IPIP test. The quick personality test is rated by approximately 70% of people as very accurate. Accuracy is lower due to the limited number of questions and the less serious manner in which test takers answer the questions.
