Or maybe you're just so organized, you know how to organize your priorities of what needs to be organized!



I actually wonder if the test is purely about colour choices, purely about time spent between each choice, or a combination of the two.

Meh I don't think is test is very accurate.

This is just like a horoscope in the sense that anything you read that is telling you something you want to hear. You will agree with and enjoy.

Everybody wants to have a little CEO in them and everybody loves to take a test telling them about them self.
So lets offer a test people can take in which will judge their leadership skills. Lets make up some bs statistics and build our mailing list!


I learned a lot from this test surprisingly. If my target customer is a black male who lives the thug life style I could make a "Do you have the poor thug or rich thug mentality" test.

The CEO color test is obviously aimed at those in or aspiring to own a successful business or climbthe corporate latter. I feel like a sucker for even taking it.

@Bateati Yup. That's basically how I feel about it... But it's fun. And who knows, it might even help some people. How? Well, this is how horoscopes and tests similar to this (most of you have facebook, so you know there's millions that follow the pattern) work by reminding you of the good qualities you want to associate yourself with. Maybe there's a slim chance that such a test will inspire some people to follow those qualities.

Hmm. This seems like an experiment in the waiting... Come up with a test that has a horoscope like result, then offer a way for the testee to 'build' on their strengths. That's almost exactly how this works (It's a clever interactive ad for some company), except where you lead can be truly self-constructive.

Here's mine:
