This scares the stuffing out of me

Got this from the real Persephone's blog, although I hasten to point out that these are my results, not the real Persephone's whose results appear on her own blog. I confess I am spooked. Try it if you dare:

I don't know if I dare take the test - must admit your results were a little worrisome ;-)
I'll let you know how it turns out.

Persephone said...

Well, Marie Louise, I notice that you're a fellow Taurean, so your results may be a bit similar! This seems to have "Taurus" written all over it!

WEIRD, isn't it?

I just took the test. The ColorQuiz tells the unvarnished truth. And if my results are any indication, I seriously need a chill pill.

Persephone said...

P, it's beyond weird; it's a frozen-in-the-headlights sort of feeling.
Vanessa, where on earth have you been? (Aside from Germany.) Will a chill pill take you in the eternity of now? Having said that, if today is anything like yesterday, I'll settle for living in the past. Say, 1890?

Persephone - I took the test. I kind of wish I hadn't. It was all scarily true, even the bad bit! Still, nice to have some validation for how I feel! Nice blog BTW. x

Persephone said...

Why, thank-you, sir!

Don't quite know how I got here, but great blog. Also, VERY scary test thingy - very clever, however they do it!

Persephone said...

Hi, CBL! Perhaps you got here through Marie Phillips' blog. I've seen your comments there. Happy to have you here, however you came!

Okay, now I'm worried ... I've passed this test on to a number of friends and coleagues now and they all, without exception, claim that it's horribly accurate. How can this be? So I wondered, is it REALLY accurate or are we all being taken in by a cleverly worded bunch of daily horoscope-style wish statements? As an experiment I tried clicking on colours at random. The resulting prognosis wasn't anything like me at all. Eek. I'm doubly worried now!

Well, Steve, I know that this test (or something very like it) has been around for more than thirty years. It is possible that they've found a way to word our deepest fears and wishes and feed them back to us (something like the Mirror of Erised in Harry Potter), but that doesn't explain why random colours would give you an unrecognisable profile. Hmmmmn.
