Colour Quiz

[Planet Dave]

Imaginative and sensitive; seeking an outlet for these qualities--especially in the company of someone equally sensitive. Interest and enthusiasm are readily aroused by the unusual or the adventurous.

Yep.

(Is mine the only one that sounds like a small ad in the Personals section?)

Probably the rest of this sorry lot pressed on Black first....

Not true at all young lady. I was rather taken by that nice orange. Or was it the scarlet? Or racing green?

Your Existing Situation
Sensitive and understanding but under some strain; needs to unwind in the company of someone close to him.

It's called cold reading people. Did no-one see Derren Brown at the weekend?

He asked various people worldwide to trace round their hand and write their date of birth underneath. He then gave them all a "personality assesment" based on it.

All but one of them said he was between 75% and 99% accurate.

The punchline?

They had all been given word-for-word the same assesment.

Ah, so it's like newspaper horoscopes then It was really becoming too stunning to believe, as everyone rather agreed...

I once saw a bit about cold reading on Bullsit, now you mention it

[Jaimie1980]

"Defensive. Feels his position is threatened or inadequately established. Determined to pursue his objectives despite the anxiety induced by opposition".

True.

I did pick black first, I must confess . Followed by the dark red.

Marky's assessment is 100% accurate! How did he do that?

Don't know, don't want to know.

That Derren Brown guy's brilliant... I really like that he doesn't claim to be doing anything supernatural like most illusionists or "magicians", IMO that makes what he is doing all the more fascinating (and scary). Remember when he got everybody in shopping centre to raise their hands up to the sky at once just by talking over the intercom with his subliminal messages? Aaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!

Smashing avatar, B. How long until the next release? Will you being doing a Silver Feather tour?

Quentin issues a "new release" every hour or so. Sometimes on the windscreen of your freshly washed car .

the most impressive dez brown trick i've seen was at the dog racing. he'd go up to a bookies window and slap a betting slip down, declaring "that one's a winner!" when it wasn't. and they paid out!

pure class.
