Use Your Favorite Color to Find Your Ideal Career
A recent Google alert reminded me of a fun career counseling site I had seen a couple of years ago. It is a quick test that provides you with an analysis of your personality, work habits and ideal habitats for your career based on your favorite colors.
This is one of those tests you should do without thinking about it - your first instincts are important to your selection of colors. There are 5 pages that each take less than 10 seconds to complete. Then a basic report is generated about your personal traits.
It’s a fun way to see if you are even on the right track. You may find that the real reason for your misery at work is that your position is all wrong for you. I find that the results are spot on for myself - the analysis is amazingly accurate about who I am.
For $19.95 you can order a complete report of your strengths and weaknesses, abilities to work with others, etc. if you choose. Give it a try - it might be enlightening!
You can find the test at:

I did the career color test and I have to say it was TOTALLY not accurate for me. My first
category was Creator - I am definitely not a creative type! The second category was
persuader. Again, the words used for the most part do not describe me. The Persuader
category said, “Positions of leadership, power, and status are usually their ultimate goal.”
That is pretty much the opposite of my goals! Maybe this is accurate for some but it was
so off the mark for me. (And while I know there are things I don’t know about myself,
for the most part I’m very self-aware.)
