Oh, The Things You Learn!... My Personality Test

So I took this color personality test thingy, and it says I'm a BLUE personality. Check for comments in BLUE in parentheses...

Congratulations, Blair, you are a BLUE personality. The Core Motivation that drives you through life is "Intimacy". BLUES need connection - the sharing of rich, deep emotions that bind people together. (TRUE) As a BLUE, you will often sacrifice a great deal of time, effort, and/or personal convenience to develop and maintain meaningful relationships throughout your life. (PROBABLY TRUE)

BLUES seek opportunities to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated, especially by their partner. (TRUE) Everything you do as a BLUE has to be quality-based, or you won't do it at all. (MOSTLY TRUE... I'm sure there have been 1 or 2 school assignments I turned in that weren't exactly "quality-based." More often, I just didn't do it at all.) You are incredibly loyal to friends, employers, employees, and above all to your significant other. (TRUE) Whatever or whomever you commit to is your sole (and soul) focus. As a BLUE, you love to serve and will give freely of yourself in order to nurture the lives of others. (TRUE)

BLUES have distinct preferences and are the most controlling of the four personalities, although they may not acknowledge (or even realize) the fact. (SAD, BUT TRUE) Your code of ethics is remarkably strong and you expect others (not only your partner and those closest to you, but everyone) to live honest, committed lives as well. (TRUE) You enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation with your partner as well as remembering special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). (TRUE)

WHY YOU'RE HOT:
1) You Put Your Partner/Relationship First
People like to feel important, especially to their significant other, and you have the natural ability to make that happen. (MAYBE TRUE?) As a BLUE, you tend to be very selfless, and your first thought is always "how will this affect my partner?" You would be willing to sacrifice going out with friends or engaging in an activity that you enjoy on your own to do something less exciting with your significant other - not that they would necessarily ask you to - but just knowing you would is a great feeling. (MMM... DEPENDS ON HOW "LESS EXCITING"...)

2) You Make Events Magical
When planning something such as an anniversary dinner or a birthday party, you don't like to go through the same old routine that everyone else does. You have a flair for the creative and you seem to have a sense of how to create an ambiance by adding special touches that you know will be perfect for the occasion. (VERY TRUE. I am over-the-top... OTT.) For example, you might have personalized gifts or you might recreate something meaningful that happened previously in your relationship. You make ordinary things extra special, which is very endearing.

WHY YOU'RE NOT:
1) You Tend To Blame Others For Your Unhappiness (Oh, come on now... I don't think this is true!! Is it??)
As a BLUE, you hold high standards for yourself and tend to have unrealistic expectations of yourself, your partner, and how things "should be," (OK, that's TRUE) so when things go wrong, you turn to others, such as your partner, as the source for your unhappiness. (I'm still not convinced.) You might say to him, "if only you were more attentive / caring / interested / loving (you name it), this wouldn't have happened." This is obviously not a great way to maintain somebody's affection.

2) It's Hard For You To Relax (You Require A Purpose To Play)
BLUES tend to be overly guilt-prone, and so if you are doing things that are not purposeful by your standards, you probably feel guilty about it. (DEFINITELY NOT TRUE) Ergo, you tend to require a justifiable reason to just play and enjoy life - which usually defeats the purpose and makes it feel unnatural or forced to others in your life. Your tendency to be high-strung in this way can be alarming to a potential mate who is stuck wondering if you'll ever be able to calm down enough to enjoy a life together. (EGADS!)
