    Mine came out with creator as well. To be honest I'm not sure if it does quite describe me. I'm not really interested in art and drama and I don't think I'm very expressive but is suppose its only a quick test, you can't expect it to be perfect :P

    I think it is important to combine the first and the second one.

    Creator + Analytical here.

    That was fun but it got me totally wrong.

    Blue is my favourite colour but I'm definitely not a Creator, Doer.

    I'd need to see what the other category descriptions are, but Persuader sounds more like me.

    ORGANIZER? hahahahahahahahaha, I haven't laughed so hard all day. Open my closet door and laugh with me.

    But CEOs shown to be more sensitive, private and emotionally unstable?

    eh? This is completely counterintuitive to what I had assumed.

    My thought proccess while going through this:
    "This is pretty dumb, no way colour preference can really be that linked to personality... Still, it's fun."

    *Submits*

    "Let's see what silly result I- Researcher? Pft, stupid test, stop trying to prove me wrong!"

    But then I got this for my secondary.
    2nd Best Occupational Category
    You're a SOCIAL MANAGER
    Keywords:
    Tactful, Cooperative, Generous, Understanding, Insightful, Friendly, and Cheerful
    This very social type enjoys working in groups, sharing responsibilities, and being the center of attention. Fields of interest are instructing, helping, nurturing, care giving and instructing-especially young people. They discuss and consider feelings in order to solve problems, lead, direct, persuade, guide, organize and enlighten others.

    Section I: You and Your Team
    This personality overview section highlights your natural workplace talents—the tasks you pursue with passion. You'll learn how your natural strengths complement those of your coworkers and how, joining forces, you can resolve on-the-job dilemmas.
    Section II: Your Key To Success
    Here you discover your capacity for dispelling disruption and maximizing profitability. Use this proven, beyond-self-perception advice to create a more positive career path free of detours.
    Section III: Managing Strengths and Weaknesses
    Your evaluation's highest and lowest scores result in this section's recommendations for staying on-track in your career and reversing wrong turns. In focusing on your talents and missteps, you'll re-stoke your energy and enthusiasm for managing costly mistakes.
    Section IV: Leadership Power Moves
    This final section identifies your "street sense," those power moves that turn obstacles into insignificant details. Here suggestions based on your color-ranked evaluations will guide you towards making the most of an interview or harnessing your fast-paced workday.
    And really, it's not a category I'd expect to fall into.


    And by the way, the researcher says they hate working in groups, the social manager is all about it.

    You know, I am an Accounting major...maybe that temporarily "trained" my mind to be more organized (or better at details/memorization). Meaning a false result. :P
