Color Code!

I think most people have taken the Color Code personality assessment test before. If not, I'm sure they've at least heard of it!
I've taken it a few times myself. I always find it interesting to learn how I've changed throughout the years and how I've remained the same. I love learning about myself, and others.. what makes people tick? That sort of thing. It can be very enlightening.
You can take the test at this website: http://www.colorcode.com/
Here's my results.


It's free to take the assessment, but as you see above, the pie chart results only reveal your dominant color. (Unless you want to give them $40 for a 40 page break-down!) Since I've taken the test several times and I already have a pretty solid knowledge and understanding of each color, I'm pretty confident that I know which color my second highest percentage belongs to. (It's sizable too, as you can see!) It's definitely Red.

Blue-Red. Hmm. That's an unusual combo! After doing some searching online I found just that. Blue-Reds are uncommon, and it seems that most people don't know what to expect from that combination. I thought I'd find this wealth of knowledge, but instead I found very little on Blue-Red, while there seemed to be a fair amount of info offered on all the other combo's. Challenge accepted! Gotta try for the best of both I guess. :)

For anyone interested in learning more about the different personalities, here's Wikipedia's breakdown of the 4 colors:

And here's a little breakdown of them that I've adapted from another site.

MOTIVE:

RED - Power
BLUE - Intimacy
WHITE - Peace
YELLOW - Fun

NEEDS:

RED - To look good academically
BLUE - To be good morally
WHITE - To feel good inside
YELLOW - To look good socially

RED - To be right
BLUE - To be understood
WHITE - To be allowed their space
YELLOW - To be popular

RED - Respect
BLUE - Appreciation
WHITE - Respect

RED - Approval
BLUE - Acceptance 
WHITE - Acceptance
YELLOW - Approval

WANTS:

RED - To hide insecurities
BLUE - To reveal insecurities
WHITE - To withhold insecurities
YELLOW - To hide insecurities

RED - Leadership
BLUE - Autonomy
WHITE - Independence
YELLOW - Freedom




Fascinating, isn't it? What color(s) make you tick?

IPhone app games

They can be very useful in their ability to divert ones attention from things one would rather not dwell on. Facebook, on the other hand, has a unique effect on ones emotions and often stirs the individual to frustration.
Most of that could be credited to the anomaly that occurs when one is dealing with a personal difficulty or trial. Everything posted by others offends, or is subconsciously felt to be a personal attack.
I suppose that is true of life outside of social media too.

Oh how cruel it can be!

In other news, Cruze met a neighbor's pet turtle today. He was enthralled, but not sure what to make of it. Pretty funny, that dog of mine is.
(Last sentence Yoda-style in honor of Star Wars Day today... May the 4th be with you!) :D

Ps. I googled it. Star Wars Day is a real thing!

Retaliation

I have decided on a way to get back at the universe for faking me out with that potential pregnancy situation that seemed implied, but not said (apparently with good reason).
I did the P90X Chest & Back workout yesterday, complete with Ab Ripper X, and followed it with Insanity's Plyometric Cardio Circuit today. Bad idea? I'll let you know tomorrow when I inevitably will not be able to move my limbs.
But for now, TAKE THAT UNIVERSE.
Rude.
I don't know what I'm trying to accomplish with this, but something had to be done.
After my workout I woofed down a giant bowl of health.

Why yes, this girnorm salad is all for me AND I ate it straight from this mixing bowl. (without dressing!)
