Quite frighteningly, this test was fairly accurate on describing my personality based on the color sequences I chose. I am curious to see how the order one chooses a series of colors can determine why they are peaceful and potentially insecure. I put a few friends through the test too, and most of the results were accurate as well (some results were vehemently denied). I wonder if the test is accurate to people of other cultures since I and my friends are terribly American.
However, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCscher_color_test
seems to argue that the test isn't very accurate, though there seems to be a lack of citations throughout the wikipedia article. Supposedly, the color choices measure personality traits that are out of our consciousness, which is terrifying, and I wonder how Max Luscher designed his test to do this. My test results indicated that I am sensitive, desire peace, seek happy relationships, fear disappointment, and strive for artistic growth. I'd say this is true. But the test also claims that I'm needy, find myself easily misunderstood, and all around dissatisfied. To this, I will vehemently deny it.

LOL. Love this post, Alan. Thanks for sharing your personal reactions (and humor related) to these tests. Interesting, too, that you put your friends through the tests.
