Color Career Test

Working nights for five weeks does a number on the circadian rhythm!!! What do you do when you wake up at 2:30 AM and cannot get back to sleep? Tonight, I studied a bit, watched part three of the excellent Masterpiece Classic presentation of "Emma", and surfed the web. I'm more prone to take online tests in the middle of the night! Anyway, have you read about the non-verbal personality test using colors?

It's called the Dewey Color Test. If you take it, answer the question asked. Don't pick your favorite color, pick the one you most prefer to look at...

This is a short test, but I think worked pretty well for me. As expected, the top two options have a bit of built-in conflict...
