Color Analysis

I think the color tests work to match people's personalities only because of the cultural associations we have to certain colors. Outside of the cultural connection I don't think the tests hold much weight since everyone has their own personal response to color. Because of this I don't think the personality tests are based on sound theory or psychology. In one of the tests we had to choose colors in a random order and the results were supposed to say something about the relation between our color preference and our personality. I could have first picked a brilliant red color because I remember my mother wearing a scarf that color when I was a child. Because I picked this color first doesn't mean that I am (or am not) a high energy person, it simply means that color resonates with me. My color results were not a surprise because I could tell from the questions that the qualities I chose were directly related to our cultural association with a particular color, for example blue is a calm, collected color and green signifies tranquility.
