The Color Quiz

I took this Color Quiz today. Apparently the tests have been utilized since the early 1900's and European companies have been using these types of tests to assess employees. My results were interesting. Thought I might share.

Your Existing Situation
Sensitive; needs esthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm intimacy.

Your Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the rank and file. Her control of her sensual instincts restricts her ability to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow herself to merge with another. This disturbs her. as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; she feels that only by continued self-restraint can she hope to maintain her attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for herself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Circumstances are forcing her to compromise, to restrain her demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things she wants.

Feels that she is receiving less than her share and that there is no one on whom she can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make her quick to take offense, but she realizes that she has to make the best of things as they are.

Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Your Desired Objective
Her need to feel more causative and to have a wider sphere of influence makes her restless and she is driven by her desires and hopes. May try to spread her activities over too wide a field.

Your Actual Problem
Feels insufficiently valued in her existing situation, and is seeking different conditions in which she will have greater opportunity of demonstrating her worth.

Your Actual Problem #2
The fear that she may be prevented from achieving the things she wants leads her into a relentless search for satisfaction in the pursuit of illusory or meaningless activities.

the dreaded "L" word

In the past two years I've been quite the serial dater. And I've been known to ditch a few of the men because they've said the "L" word. I take this word very seriously and do not throw it around to every other person on the street.
Love is a serious thing. I think the majority tends to spout it out when actually it's only lust or maybe even envy.
Some people don't feel the same way I do. Obviously.
One guy I dated, we'll call him Porsche, spit the word on me after going out only six times over a three week period. I ditched him, immediately. I recently found out that he is engaged to a girl he's known for four months and is getting married the end of July! I might have believed it was love at first site if he didn't have a track record!
My friend Randy told me that he and his girlfriend of three years said the "L" to each other after just four months. They also moved in together after six.
I guess more and more people are sharing "L's" and living spaces now at a faster rate than before.
I'm not afraid of the "L" word. I've used it before, I'm just not sure it was with the right person. Afterall, we're not together anymore are we?
