chomijiI've seen online versions of the classic Lüscher Color Test almost since the time the WWW started, but I ran across a new one recently and took it just for fun. It was frighteningly plausible ...
Cho's Lüscher Results, 8/27/2007
Easily affected by her environment and readily moved by the emotions of others. Seeks congenial relationships and an occupation which will promote them.
Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.
Feels listless, hemmed in, and anxious; considers that circumstances and forcing her to restrain her desires. Wants to avoid open conflict with others and to have peace and quiet.
Feels that things stand in her way, that circumstances are forcing her to compromise and forgo some pleasures for the time being.
Wants to make a favorable impression and be regarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether she is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to her. This makes her feel she is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.
Needs to be valued and respected as an exceptional individual, in order to increase her self-esteem and her feeling of personal worth. Resists mediocrity and sets herself high standards.
One of the interesting things about the Lüscher is that it's expected that your test results will vary from time to time. So it can be useful for zeroing in on what's bugging you at the moment.
You can take this version of the test right here. They have a little code generator to allow you to generate a blog meme-type link, but I didn't think all that much of the appearance of the results.

Date: 2007-08-28 01:04 am (UTC)ok let's see (WHY does it say "him"?)
Your Existing Situation
Orderly, methodical, and self-contained. Needs the respect, recognition, and understanding of those close to him.
Your Stress Sources
Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that she has a right to anything she might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against her. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees herself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince herself that her failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Conditions are such that she will not let herself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
Your Desired Objective
Feels the existing circumstances are hostile and is exhausted by conflict and quarreling. Wishes to protect herself and hides her intentions to avoid exposing them to attack, so that they will be safer and easier to achieve. Careful to avoid stirring up any opposition which might endanger her plans.
Your Actual Problem
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation, irritation, and acute distress from which she tries to escape by refusing further direct participation. She confines herself to a cautious approach and a concealed determination to get her own way in the end.
Your Actual Problem #2
Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of her hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. She tries to escape from this by withdrawing and protecting herself with an attitude of cautious reserve. Moody and depressed.

It's an odd little test. I first ran into it when I was in my teens, as a book in the library with a set of the 8 colored tiles (made of cardstock) in a pocket in the back. The colors always look off and ugly to me, but apparently those are the shades that make the test work.
