"Getting your feelings hurt is your heart's way of telling you that all systems are a go." - John Mayer

That quote was actually from his Twitter. Huh. There's no real reason why I posted that up... I just really like it.


Anyway, Steph (thanks Steph) posted this ColorGenics thing on Facebook where you click a number of coloured cubes in order of preference, and a personality profile pops up. Here's mine:

At this time in your life you feel like 'giving up'. For every time you have tried to build up your hopes and dreams something has come along to burst the balloon. You may feel that, at this particular moment in your life, there seems to be no chance of fulfilling these dreams but you are so wrong. You are the sort of person that can influence any situation, that is - If you don't give up. So consciously make the effort... You have that inherent power to succeed.

You are a leader and possibly at this tine in a position of authority, but you are experiencing problems. You are not quite sure how to handle the present situation.

Your involvements seldom measure up to your high emotional expectations and your 'needs' to be 'loved' and 'cared for' have in the past often led to extreme disappointment. But a change is in the wind - make a firm decision to start anew. Just 'think' it..and it will happen.

You are an emotional, sincere and impressionable individual experiencing frustration and unnecessary stress. You are carried away by other people's enthusiasm and looking for that idealised relationship, be it in a business or personal situation, which you are able to share with a mutual depth of understanding. You have lowered your defences in the past and you have been hurt, so you are now extremely wary of being exploited. You are still ready to trust people on the condition that they are prepared to offer you proof of their sincerity.

You wish to safeguard yourself against criticism or conflict and to embed yourself in a protected situation. You are a difficult person to relate to and very difficult to please.

This is about half right and half wrong from my perspective, but the parts that are right are like WHOA. I don't know if I believe this, though. I mean, I'm pretty damn skeptical when it comes to these personality things... I find it hard to believe that answering a couple of questions or my date of birth or clicking cubes would accurately describe my deepest desires, fears, etc. I mean, everyone's felt like giving up before. Everyone's felt that they've been betrayed. I don't know. It's interesting, but I don't know how amazed I can be at this.
