That Rainbow Meme

[chomiji]

It's one of those personality test memes, rather than one of those "let's hash the letters of your name" memes.

 

Your rainbow is shaded violet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a creative person. You appreciate beauty and craftsmanship. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it.

Well, very nice. Except I don't know how patient I feel some days ... .

ETA: LJ is now holding my notification messages hostage! People came to visit last night after I went to bed, and I knew it not!

Ok, so when I first saw what the quiz was meant to measure (what colour would dominate your spectrum) my thought was 'yellow', because I like and see many bright, light colours and in the end, yellow is just that.

Your rainbow is shaded yellow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a joyful person. You appreciate optimism. You're good at getting people to like you.

And voila, there you go

"Yellow's mimosa,
and I guess
Yellow's the color of
Happiness."

There was a children's poetry book that I had when I was little, Hailstones and Halibut Bones. Each poem was about a color. I still remember bits - like that one.

So cute! ^^ And yeah, I think I'm a pretty happy person. I know I'm a pretty optimistic person... So it all fits ^^

C'est moi:

Your rainbow is shaded violet, red, and indigo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a passionate person. You appreciate beauty and craftsmanship. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it. People are loyal to you and see you as a natural leader.

Hey, you got lots of colors! I only got one!

[avierra.livejournal.com]

It just means I am indecisive. ;)

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

LOL! ...Perhaps it indicates an appreciation for diversity? :D

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Hah, I shall join you in the palette of muddiness! (although I'm not sure if this would really be considered a palette at all given that it is one strongly shaded color.

Your rainbow is strongly shaded brown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a deep thinking person. You appreciate the roughness of nature. You feel closer to people when you understand their imperfections.

LOL! ...And if I take the quiz without picking colors at the end, I am intensely brown. It seems I am a moth among butterflies. ;)

I thought maybe one could cheat and skip the quiz, and just pick a color at the end to see what the result said, but for some reason that only worked once. *shrug*

[avierra.livejournal.com]

Hrm, if I pick the colors, I get Strongly Shaded Indigo and Violet:

Your rainbow is strongly shaded indigo and violet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a creative person. You appreciate cities, technology, and other great things people have created. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it. People are loyal to you and see you as a natural leader.

Again with the patience, what is up with that. ;_; And no black background, so it isn't the strongly shaded thing, I guess.

F9 is just unique, I guess. ;)

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that *is* pretty. I think it's the nicest one so far (although I like how Cho's violet shade affects the green in her spectrum). ^_^

Maybe the patience is a mom thing? It's not really phrased that way, but anyone with kids has to have at least a *little* patience.

[chomiji]

Moth. Not brown!

For intensely brown, I think you need something like this or this!

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Ooh, silky! Very nice shades of brown, indeed! :D

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that *is* nice.

I just get twitchy seeing them mixed with muddy golds and oranges...too many bad memories of 70s decor!

*shudder* Too true. I feel the exact same way about avocado green.

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, gray has a black background, too, so I suspect it's more of a consolation prize for missing out on some of the cooler colors. :)

[chomiji]

What, have you been playing around with altering the answers to see what colors you get?

(And have you had your Thanksgiving dinner already, like me, or what? I wasn't really expecting to see much of anyone on tonight!)

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

What, have you been playing around with altering the answers to see what colors you get?

Ahaha! Umm. I can't help poking at things. It's a character flaw. ^^

And have you had your Thanksgiving dinner already, like me, or what?

Yep! We dine early so there's plenty of time to clean up, veg out, and go back for turkey sandwiches later. I wasn't really expecting to have any computer time tonight, either. But the rest of the family sacked out early, providing some unexpected peace and quiet.

I hope everyone in your household had a very Happy Thanksgiving! :D

[chomiji]

>> I can't help poking at things. <<

That's 'cause you're a scientist.

;-)

Thanksgiving dinner was very tasty, and the family interactions weren't too bad. The kids were rather high-pitched and shrieky.

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

That's 'cause you're a scientist.

Heh. The reverse is probably also true--a career in science appeals to people who enjoy trying to figure things out. ^_^

I'm glad your holiday went well. Shrieky kids seems to go with the territory--desserts and overstimulation can be a difficult mix. We had only one preschooler and lots of adults to run interference, so shrieking was kept to a minimum (fortunately). ^_^

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Yay, another brown! (It was part of your original result as well, I noticed--interesting that the tiebreaker colors make such a difference!).

After playing with the quiz for a bit, I'm really curious what source material was used as the basis for the word choices and the results. Very interesting stuff.

[chomiji]

Heh. You know, I managed to miss the tie-breaker colors entirely when I did it and posted it.. Maybe that's why it worked for me!

"Brown is the color
of a country road.
Back of a turtle
Back of a toad ...
Brown is the hair
On many a head
Brown is chocolate
And gingerbread ...
Brown is a leather shoe
And a good glove
Brown is as comfortable
as love."

- from Hailstones and Halibut Bones

(From memory, which is why I don't have the whole poem here.)

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Ooh, nice! It's fitting, actually--homey and comfortable. Thanks for sharing the poem. :D

[avierra.livejournal.com]

I kind of like your palette, nice earthy colors. And also your black background, which I covet. ;)

[freeradical9.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was really surprised when it turned up, since I'd already seen that everyone else had a background that was white. I thought it might be some kind of glitch. :)

[chomiji]

Well, it is kind of a simplistic test ... I'm not sure it can ever capture the smilla-ness.

[chomiji]

Nope! See, it's clearly inadequate!

[avierra.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can totally see you as the Avatar of Tranquility. ;)

This test is pretty funny. Mine said I was patient... snerk. I'll have to tell my husband; he seems not to have gotten that memo.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Look at all the rainbows! Pretty.

I wish I was patient.

Here's mine, and I think it's pretty accurate:

Your rainbow is shaded green.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are an intelligent person. You feel strong ties to nature and your mood changes with its cycles. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality.

I like green!

"Green is the coolness
You get in the shade
Of the tall old woods
Where the moss is made ...
Green is a flutter
That comes in Spring
When frost melts out
Of everything ...
Under a grape arbor
Air is green
With sprinkles of sunlight
In between ..."

- from Hailstones and Halibut Bones

(And green is Hakkai, too!)
