Success Warrior: The Blog That Embraces ADHD

More about Taylor Hartman's Color Code

From the comments section, Mark the beerdart champion states:

IMO these tests are pretty much bunk. 20 questions cannot determine your personality type. REAL tests for that are hours long and hundreds of questions. These mind fluf tests are there to make you buy a book/subscribe to some tinfoil hat rag. All the results are generally "good" and loose enough to make you see yourself in the answers.

In my experience, I have found that the Color Code is accurate.  There are only 4 categories (colors) and they are broad so the test isn't trying to get an exact picture of a person.  From my perspective, I call it motive.  It gives you an idea of what the person is like.  It's something that you would probably find out just by being around them enough.

It's also not all good.  The Color Code tells you all the bad things that come along with each color as well.  The blurbs that have been seen here don't cover it.  For example, I'm a White and here are some of the attributes of whites:

Who Is Success Warrior? - What the Tests Say

I read this post at the Angry Young Man's blog about him taking a test at MindMedia.  It looked like an interesting enough description that I took the test myself.  I did it just out of curiosity but this morning I thought it might be good to share the results along with the results of a couple of other tests I have taken in the past.  If the tests are accurate, this might give you a better idea of who's writing this blog.

From the MindMedia test:

Success Warrior, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.
