Color Test

[PhoenixofVindemiatrix]

http://www.kahome.co.uk/cgi-bin/lschr.pl

I thought this seemed pretty accurate.




Existing Situation:
Defensive. Feels her position is threatened or inadequately established. Determined to pursue her objectives despite the anxiety induced by opposition.

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress arising from the frustration of an unwanted situation.

Psychological Interpretation:
Feels trapped in a disagreeable situation and powerless to remedy it. Angry and disgruntled as she doubts that she will be able to achieve her goals, and frustrated almost to the point of nervous prostration. Wants to get away, to feel less restricted and be free to make her own decisions.

In Brief:
Frustrated desire for independence.

Restrained Characteristics:
Very exacting in the standards she applies to his choice of partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in her sex-life.

Desired Objective:
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealised harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything aesthetic.

Actual Problems:
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. This feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. She attempts to escape from this into an illusory substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 3 .

Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 0 .

 

[Fresh Baked]

Psychological Interpretation:
Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness and bridge the gap which he feels separates him from others. Anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to explore all its possibilities and to live it to the full. He therefore resents any restriction or limitation being imposed on him and insists on being free and unhampered.

Holy crap! That's scary accurate...
The cynic side of me now comes out and wonders if they're just good at putting down blanket statements.

 

[Chimera]

I enjoy how it keeps prefacing itself with "though this might be scarily accurate, it might also be complete bullshit."
Also, "The test should not be treated as a game or used as a weapon in personal disputes" <-- lawl. Anyway.
It was...surprisingly accurate, at least in certain interpretations.

Existing Situation: Dissatisfied. The need to escape continued involvement with her present circumstances makes it imperative for her to find some solution.

Stress Sources: Physiological Interpretation:
Disappointment has led to a suspicious and restrained withdrawal from others and into herself.
Psychological Interpretation:
Suppresses her innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear she might be carried away by it only to find herself pursuing some will-o'-the-wisp. Feels she has been misled and abused and has withdrawn to hold herself cautiously aloof from others. Keeps a careful and critical watch to see whether motives towards her are sincere - a watchfulness which easily develops into suspicion and distrust.
In Brief:
"Once bitten, twice shy"; emotional disappointment leading to watchful mistrust of motive.

Restrained Characteristics: Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity providing no turmoil or emotional agitation is involved.

Desired Objective: Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.

Actual Problems: Disappointment at the non-fulfilment of her hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. She is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting her from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

[Roran]

This test is creepily accurate.

Existing Situation:
Pursues his objectives and his own self-interest with stubborn determination; refuses to compromise or make concessions.
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress resulting from the effort to conceal worry and anxiety under a cloak of self-reliance and unconcern.
Psychological Interpretation:
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he normally imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticise his behaviour with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.
In Brief:
Disappointment leading to assumed indifference.
Restrained Characteristics:
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.
Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no on to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.
Desired Objective:
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.
Actual Problems:
Wants to be valued and respected and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.

 

[Jordan~]

Existing Situation:
Readily participates in things affording excitement or stimulation. (Nope.) Wants to feel exhilarated. (Yup.)
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Frustration at unacceptable restrictions on his freedom of action is producing stress. (Kinda?)
Psychological Interpretation:
Seeks independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoids obligations or anything which might prove hampering. (Kinda?) He is being subjected to considerable pressure and wants to escape from it so that he can obtain what he needs, (Nope.) but tends to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. (I do lack strength of purpose.)
In Brief:
Frustrated desire for independence and freedom of action. (Sort of.)
Restrained Characteristics:
Clings to his belief that his hopes and ideals are realistic, (Yup.) but needs encouragement and reassurance. (Kinda.) Applies very exacting standards to his choice of a partner (Not really.) and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment. (Kinda.)
Believes that he is not receiving his share - that he is neither properly understood nor adequately appreciated. (Maybe a little?) Feels that he is being compelled to conform, (Nope.) and close relationships leave him without any sense of emotional involvement. (Kinda.)
Desired Objective:
Badly in need of rest and relaxation, freedom from conflict and the chance to recover. (I'm practically 'on a cure' at the moment.) Wants to protect himself against destructive and exhausting influences. (No more than the average person, I think) Longs for security and freedom from problems. (Again, not exceptionally)
Actual Problems:
Seeks security (Not really.) and a position in which he will no longer be troubled by demands being made on him. (No demands being made of me at the moment, really.)
Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.
Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.
Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 3 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 5 .

So I'd say this was about 40% accurate for me. But I really like red and I'm not really 'red' at all.

 

[Roran]

I really like blue, and it is the color of depressed people....

 

[Jordan~]

I don't really like blue, grey or black, but I didn't when I was depressed, either. They are 'depressive' colours, but I just didn't like them aesthetically nonetheless. I'm not at all keen on green for some reason, except like a neutral, teal-y green. That brown was a little eye-hurting but I picked early because I generally do like brown. And I just like red because... I dunno, look at it, it's red. It's great. All the walls in my bedroom are painted bright red.

It kinda reminds me of this personality profiling thing we did at school were there were four types: blue, green, yellow and red. They pretty much corresponded to ISTJ, ISFJ, ENFP and ENTJ. You were meant to fit into one. I didn't really fit any of them, so at the end I asked the person who'd been giving the talk after we got our results what corresponded to a Myers-Briggs INTP/INFP (I wasn't sure which I was at the time) and she said that would be a blue-green-yellow. Colour combinations were not mentioned as an option hitherto. I asked her if I could have a green and a yellow hat (they gave us hats) in addition to my blue one and she said no.
I was left thinking, "Well, why didn't you just use Myers-Briggs instead, then...?"
Though I suspect the school only used it because the father of someone in my year, who's from one of the school's dynastic families (there are families who've sent their kids there generation after generation), owns the company.

 

[Bird]

Grey is my favourite.

 

[Chimera]

I don't really like blue, grey or black

Grudge formed.

I really like brown too, but it has to be accompanied by something...green, or blue maybe. Or varying shades of brown put together. Just plain brown by itself looks...plain.

Yellow, on the other hand, is just always bad.

​

Well, yeah, it's all kinda contextual, as well. Black around or behind something colourful looks great. And I like black clothes and black electronics. But like, I wouldn't paint a wall black unless it had something colourful in front of it. Same with blue. Some blues I'm pretty fond of - the more muted and greenish ones - but I always think it looks too aquatic to use much, and the brightest blues are just jarring. Grey has its place - like in my avatar - but if I had to pick one colour to see for the rest of my life, it wouldn't be grey. I agree about yellow - it's too bright, and if you darken it it looks pathologic. I do like orange, gold and yellow-green, though.

I use the 'woodland' theme here, which is various shades of brown and teal, because the black/grey 'Dark Castle' one is so grim.

 

[PhoenixofVindemiatrix]

I don't know if I should be saying this, but I think I am starting to see similarities between this test and the Enneagram...

 

[A22]

I've seen this in portuguese. This test is colorwonderful, it always shows exactly whats going on and is of great help.

Spoiler

Existing Situation:
Active, outgoing and restless. Feels frustrated by the slowness with which events develop along the desired lines. This leads to irritability, changeability and lack of persistence when pursuing a given objective.
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Pronounced susceptibility to outside stimuli.
Psychological Interpretation:
Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness and bridge the gap which he feels separates him from others. Anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to explore all its possibilities and to live it to the full. He therefore resents any restriction or limitation being imposed on him and insists on being free and unhampered.
In Brief:
Expectant self-determination.
Restrained Characteristics:
Feels rather isolated and alone, but is too reserved to allow himself to form deep attachments. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.
Able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity.
Desired Objective:
Seeks the determination and elasticity of will necessary to establish himself and to make himself independent despite the difficulties of his situation. Wants to overcome opposition and achieve recognition.
Actual Problems:
Strongly resists outside influence and any interferences with his freedom to make his own decisions and plans. Works to establish and strengthen his own position.
Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.
Approach to Work:
Has the 'elasticity of will' which allows him to persist despite opposition or difficulties, because by persisting one can accomplish the task and thus enhance one's own self-esteem. Work that he wants to do will be done well and be well integrated, partly for the purpose of increasing his self-esteem and his stature in the eyes of others.
Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 0 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 0 .

 

[Roran]

All of the other themes look weird (to me) compared to Dark Castle.

 

[Jordan~]

I don't know if I should be saying this, but I think I am starting to see similarities between this test and the Enneagram...

I really don't get this test, or rather, I really don't get how it seems to be working for everyone else. I'm pretty sure my ideas about colour don't say anything about me other than that I'm aesthetically aware. It's all very situational for me. If someone said to me, "What's your favourite colour?" I'd probably ask, "For what?"

I don't really have preferences about colour that are independent of their roles. My copy of The Complete Poems and Plays of T. S. Eliot, for instance, looks great with the greyscale-on-black close up photo of him on the front cover and the silver, Roman lettering. On the other hand, it would be really weird if my nasal spray came in a box with a grayscale photo on a black background with silver Roman lettering, and it'd be equally weird if the cover The Complete Poems and Plays had a blue and orange swish up the side of a white background with the title written in rounded, italic, blue lettering.

What I did was choose which colors seemed most soothing, regardless of whether I'd call them my favorites. Take the colors out of context and just see them for what they are.

 

[Jordan~]

I'll try that. It's not really an approach that occurred to me. Red's not soothing at all, but I like it more than the others.

That did work a bit better. I'd say about 70% accurate this time.

 

[crippli]

It said I have anxiety. Could be. On certain things I am reluctant to throw the dice.

No, they changed it to "her".

I second that. Dark Castle is definitely the most un-weird theme. It doesn't kill your eyes with unnaturally bright colours or contrast either.

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress resulting from the effort to conceal worry and anxiety under a cloak of self-reliance and unconcern.

A couple of times it came out wrong because I confused appeal with standing out so I got many different stupid results but then I followed the definition of appeal as a color and ended up with this. Somewhat accurate embarrassingly.

Put the colors on your favorite object. I did that and it did come pretty damn well close to the truth.

I used cars. A car in light grey is much uglier than a car in deep dark grey. But charcoal grey is just stuffs of late night random boners.

i would say its pretty accurate, kinda scary

 

[dark]

Tests like this can't be based anymore on irrationality than astrology is. It just seems that I randomly click on them, sometimes the results show things that could be about me, other times it is no where near. So I must say colour tests are illogical and irrational, just more irrational things to feed out minds like religion, dousing, astrology, fortune cookies and so much more BS.

Tests like this can't be based anymore on irrationality than astrology is. It just seems that I randomly click on them, sometimes the results show things that could be about me, other times it is no where near. So I must say colour tests are illogical and irrational, just more irrational things to feed out minds like religion, dousing, astrology, fortune cookies and so much more BS.

I have to disagree, it may not be entirely valid but it is certainly more valid than fortune cookies.

But yeah it's not too far off from fortune cookies. You can look at everyone's response and say eh.. all of them fit, somewhat.

I think anxiety scale is accurate? It is for me.

 

[dark]

Stop it. You are acting too human.

You aren't supposed to be irrational humans!

Don't make me go find ENTJs to talk to.

I need computers like GLaDOS.

I need humans like GLaDOS.

That is why I like you guys.

Don't be irrational.

Smaller line.

Even...

Smaller

Anyways. Things like this are along the lines of superstitions and all that other irrational nonsense. You may as well believe that if you break a mirror... 7 years of bad luck. Be no irrational thinkers. Be good smart logical machines. I needs gooderer best from you.

Existing Situation:
Feels obstructed in his desires and prevented from obtaining the things he regards as essential. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.)
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress due to suppressed sensitivity.
Psychological Interpretation:
Delights in the tasteful, the gracious and the sensitive, but maintains his attitude of critical appraisal and refuses to be swept off his feet unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore keeps a strict and watchful control on his emotional relationships as he must know exactly where he stands. Demands complete sincerity as a protection against his own tendency to be too trusting.
In Brief:
Controlled responsiveness.
Restrained Characteristics:
Feels that he cannot do much about his existing problems and difficulties and that he must make the best of things as they are. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
Desired Objective:
Hopes that ties of affection and good-fellowship will bring release and contentment. His own need for approval makes him ready to be of help to others and in exchange he wants warmth and understanding. Open to new ideas and possibilities which he hopes will prove fruitful and interesting.
Actual Problems:
Intensely critical of the existing conditions which he feels are disorganised or insufficiently clear-cut. Is therefore seeking some solution which will clarify the situation and introduce a more acceptable degree of order and method.
Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.
Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.
Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 0 .

.... This was pretty much dead on, kind of scary.

 

[Vrecknidj]

Amusing.

Existing Situation:
Needs warm companionship, but is intolerant of anything short of special consideration from those close to him. If this is not forthcoming is liable to shut himself away from them.
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress arising from suppression of physical or sexual desires and insufficient consideration for bodily needs.
Psychological Interpretation:
The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the common herd. His control of his sensual instincts restricts his ability to give himself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow himself to merge with another. This disturbs him, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; he feels that only by continued self-restraint can he hope to maintain his attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for himself alone; needs attention, recognition and the esteem of others.
In Brief:
Demands esteem as an exceptional individual.
Restrained Characteristics:
Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no one to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.

[mainiac]

I found this test to be highly innacurate and moronic. It makes broad statements and applies them in a blanket mannor. The application of a flawed science is then applied and because most have faith in this science this is taken seriously. If i was to buy into my test results I would think i would be close to a nervouse breakdown and suffering from massive self doubt mixedd in with self pity and a form of helplessnes and general inability to cope with others finding oneself the (victim) that never got what they felt they deserved.

If i was realy in this frame of mind I would belong in a minimum security nut ward and put on some form of dangerouse phycotropic drugs. Any one that is not a total moron could write this mumbo jumbo and make it seem scientific and then write something that seems impresive to back it up based on the (accepted knowledge) that we think we know how a persons mind works so well that all we have to do is a shell game with pick your colors! (step right up folks)

The defence of this kind of absurdity is to ridicule the critic by demanding to know what (degree) they may have and insinuating that that it is actualy the critic who is the moron, not the one who devised the test.

 

[Dimensional Transition]

Spoiler

Existing Situation:
Physical illness, over-tension or emotional distress have taken a severe toll. His self-esteem has been reduced and he now needs peaceful conditions and considerate treatment to permit recovery. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.)

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stresses resulting from disappointment have led to agitation.
Psychological Interpretation:
Unfulfilled hopes have led to uncertainty and apprehension. Needs to feel secure and to avoid any further disappointment, and fears being passed over or losing standing and prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads him to make exaggerated demands and to refuse to make reasonable compromises.

In Brief:
Agitated pessimism; fearful of losing prestige.
Restrained Characteristics:
Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no on to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.
An unadmitted lack of confidence makes him careful to void open conflict and he feels he must make the best of things as they are.

Desired Objective:
Desires a tranquil, peaceful state of harmony offering quiet contentment and a sense of belonging.

Actual Problems:
Disappointment at the non-fulfilment of his hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. He is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting him from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

Damn... This is pretty accurate...
I've been having major self-confidence issues the past few months. A lot of critique from others and introspecting a lot have taken their toll. I've been after this one girl for ages because I admire her tranquility, kindness and positive attitude on top of her creativeness. I guess I quasi-subconsciously hope she will help me get 'better'.

So... What can I do about this?

Every time I do this it's nothing accurate or precise.
I'm colour-choosing retarded guys.


Oh wait, maybe this is just bullshit.

[jzono1]

Existing Situation:
Orderly, methodical and self-contained. Needs the respect, recognition and understanding of those close to him.
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Pronounced susceptibility to outside stimuli.
Psychological Interpretation:
Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness and of separation from others. Believes that life still has far more to offer and that he may miss his share of experiences if he fails to make the best use of every opportunity. He therefore pursues his objectives with a fierce intensity and commits himself deeply and readily. Feels himself to be completely competent in any field in which he engages, and can sometimes be considered by others to be interfering and meddlesome.
In Brief:
Intense involvement.
Restrained Characteristics:
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence. Able to obtain physical satisfaction from sexual activity but tends to hold aloof emotionally.
Very exacting in the standards he applies to his choice of partner and seeking an unrealistic perfection in his sex-life.
Desired Objective:
Pursues his objectives with intensity and does not allow himself to be deflected from his purpose. Wants to overcome the obstacles with which he is faced and to achieve special recognition and standing from his success.
Actual Problems:
The fear that he may be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him to play his part with an urgent and hectic intensity.

Yes. It appears to be a combination of broad-hitting descriptions and bullshit.

 

[LucasM]

This test is depressing. Focuses on issues and problems, ech. Did a similar one at colorquiz multiple times and all it gives is depressing answers that are so bloody depressing that makes me realize that my life can't really be that messed up and so I feel better about myself in some absurd backward way.

 

[Artsu Tharaz]

Well, the result was illuminating to read even if it probably is that thing where the stuff applies to everyone but you interpret it in your own personal way so it applies to you and sounds super accurate even if a lot of it really wasn't that accurate but you can just ignore that and focus on the interesting stuff and stare in amazement at how well they were able to penetrate into the depths of your soul and see the true you but like yeah not rly idk.

I like black and that aqua colour, and the dark blue and the purply one. Red I sometimes like and sometimes don't, same with yellow I guess. Brown is just like : | .

 

[Rakshasa]

Harrowing accuracy, not to my overall personality type, but to my current state.

I don't wish to share it.

 

[Solitaire U.]

This reminds me of the daily horoscope section in the newspaper. They throw a few vaguely defined parameters at you at a ratio of 50/50 applicability. I could get the same odds in a Las Vegas casino.

Reasoning: played around with different ordering of color preferences, including the exact opposite of my actual favorites, and obtained duplicate results every time.

Still, mildly amusing.

 

[MsAnthropy_Indefatigably]

Existing Situation:
Having difficulty in making progress. Despite the attempt to conceal impulsiveness, her activities lead to problems and uncertainties, making her tense and irritable. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.)

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Disappointment has led to a suspicious and restrained withdrawal from others and into herself.
Psychological Interpretation:
Suppresses her innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear she might be carried away by it only to find herself pursuing some will-o'-the-wisp. Feels she has been misled and abused and has withdrawn to hold herself cautiously aloof from others. Keeps a careful and critical watch to see whether motives towards her are sincere - a watchfulness which easily develops into suspicion and distrust.
In Brief:
"Once bitten, twice shy"; emotional disappointment leading to watchful mistrust of motive.

Restrained Characteristics:
Feels that she cannot do much about her existing problems and difficulties and that she must make the best of things as they are. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence, leaving her rather isolated in her attachments.

Desired Objective:
Feels the situation is hopeless. Strongly resists those things which she finds disagreeable (for details, see above). Tries to shield herself from anything which might irritate her or make her feel more depressed.

Actual Problems:
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, emptiness and an unadmitted self-contempt, Her refusal to admit this leads to her adopting a headstrong and defiant attitude.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 4 .

That was fun. It's interesting how happy it makes me to find out how depressed I really am. lol

 

[Darby]

Existing Situation:
Acts in an orderly, methodical and self-contained manner. Needs the sympathetic understanding of someone who will give him recognition and approval.
Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress resulting from the effort to conceal worry and anxiety under a cloak of self-reliance and unconcern.
Psychological Interpretation:
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he normally imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticise his behaviour with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.
In Brief:
Disappointment leading to assumed indifference.
Restrained Characteristics:
Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no on to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offence.
Distressed by the obstacles with which he is faced and in no mood for any form of activity or for further demands on him. Needs peace and quiet, and the avoidance of anything which might distress him further.
Desired Objective:
Considers the existing circumstances disagreeable and over-demanding. Refuses to allow anything to influence his point of view.
Actual Problems:
The need for esteem - for the chance to play some outstanding part and make a name for himself - has become imperative. He reacts by insisting on being the centre of attention, and refuses to play an impersonal or minor role.
Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.
Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 2 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 3 .

I would say the Stress stuff is quite accurate, however, I disagree with Desired Objective, the point on "refuses to allow anything to influence his point of view."
