One of the book that I have borrowed is called ‘What colour is your personality?’ by Carol Ritberger. It is interesting to know your personality colour so as to have a better understanding of yourself. After knowing what colour is your personality, it will be easier for you to find out more about your colour online. There are also online pages that helps you to indentify your colour but they only have very little questions for you to answer- which I think it’s not that accurate.
The Personality Colour Indicator (PCI)
The PCI indentifies the redominant personality traits and characteristics. It will classify those differences into 4 colour categories: red orange, yellow and green.

I tried doing this test for the third time. The first time was when I was in the library flipping this book. The second time was when I was still the the library trying to figure this out again... and the third time was this morning.
My result turns out to be like this all the time:
A 10
B 10
C 10
D 10
Therefore,
A+C= 20
B+C= 20
A+D= 20
B+D= 20
So, tell me what is my personality?? =( Does it mean that I am VERY flexible? or it just shows that I don't have a strong personality? !@#$^&*sigh*
I wasted my time doing these quizzes. I hope you didn't...
