quiz!

found this great quiz from the how about orange blog - the quiz reveals info about your creative style. to take the quiz, go here.

here are the pens i like to use when i'm busting out some creativity, yo.

i found out that i communicate through creativity:

"You think of art as a means of reaching out to others but, at the same time, you use it as a shield to some extent...It’s the way you communicate with others and the way they can communicate with you. Seen in this light, creativity provides the basic materials to build a bridge between you and other people, so you can’t think of it as something that lies outside your relationship with others. You like the attention and good opinion of others. When you show people what you’ve made — a birthday cake, or a piece of music you’ve written — it’s your baby, so you are very sensitive about any criticism. You need to be able to distance yourself from the result, and allow others to enjoy it and feel part of it, without it reflecting on you alone."

hmm. that explains why i cried so much during art critiques in college.

because i like taking quizzes

remember when you used to take those quizzes in magazines as a little teeny bopper and it was like "WOW that's, like, so totally true!" when you read the results? well, this isn't quite like that, but it's just as much fun.

check out this quiz:
it's called testcolor. you pick colors based on your favorites and least favorites, then your personality results pop up. go here to do the test!

here's an excerpt from my results:

"You are 38 % extrovert and 62 % introvert.
Independently of any order of importance :
You are able to listen to others, you show a good emotional intelligence, you know how to bring your support to others. You are also imaginative and creative, you have always new ideas, and you know how to apply them. Finally you are a manager and a structured person, you know how to take into account the needs of each person while leading them towards the set goals."

my results: i'm an ORGANIZER. (duh) according to my results i enjoy math. my suggested careers are: "Administrator, Secretary, Printer, Paralegal, Building Inspector, Bank Cashier, Private Secretary, Statistician, Operations Manager, Financial Analyst, Bookkeeper, Medical Records Technician, Developer of Business or Computer Systems, Clerical Worker, Proofreader, Accountant, Administrative Assistant, Banker, Certified Public Accountant, Credit Manager, Store Salesperson, Actuary, Dental Assistant, Business Education Teacher, Food Service Manager, IRS Agent, Budget Analyst, and Underwriter."

i don't see artist anywhere in there. maybe those are all the things i'll have to do in addition to being an artist. except for a few, like dental assistant, medical records technician & food service manager. or irs agent. hrm.

my second best results: i'm a DOER. so i'm "Emotionally Stable, Reliable, High Energy, Practical, Thrifty, and Persistent"

what about you??

what color matches your personality?

i was perusing the blog how about orange and there was a quiz listed by true value paint. since i LOVE taking quizzes (i'm getting back in touch with my junior high self), i hopped over to true value paint and took it. and my color?

"Spontaneity is the key to your existence. Quick-witted with a flair for originality, you enjoy situations that allow you to explore your creativity. Comparatively conservative, you appreciate beautiful surroundings, especially if they’re found in nature. Your relaxed and self-assured personality allows you to work well with others. Surprisingly enough, your unique and unusual tastes don’t prevent you from being comfortable among your more conservative peers."

really? i'm not sure how accurate that is...i'm not exactly the most spontaneous person on the planet. at all.
