I found this pretty interesting ^-^ http://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/decorating/color-personality-quiz-00000000041564/index.htmlMy results: RESULTS You Are a Water Personality Like a placid lake, water personalities are calm, relaxing, and quick to find their own level. Steadfast, tender, and sympathetic, they are drawn to tranquil colors, like robin's-egg blues and celadon greens. People tend to chill out in the presence of water types—and in their homes. The downside to having a water nature? Their mood can easily shift from serene and shy to a bit melancholy. According to Gillian Rose, a New York City–based interior-color specialist (colorourworld.com), the study of color and personality is age-old, based on the theories of the ancient Greek physician Galen, who designated four personalities he linked to bodily fluids: choleric (yellow bile), phlegmatic (phlegm), melancholic (black bile), and sanguine (blood). Early physicians and philosophers came to assign colors and characteristics of the natural world to these four temperaments; they linked phlegmatics to water and greens and blues. (Note that the category that you fall into according to the quiz might not reflect you 100 percent: Many people are a combination of categories.) The restful hues that tend to attract water personalities "actually have shorter wavelengths, so you see them for a shorter period of time," says Rose. What that translates to: The colors are less stimulating; in fact, cool colors cause your adrenaline levels to drop. "Green, like blue, in a home is perceived as an environmental, sustainable, more relaxing, more versatile color," says color expert Debbie Zimmer, the director of communications of Coating Materials for Dow. When it comes to decor, says HGTV color expert David Bromstead, "who doesn't want a space that is calming? Go with more whites, creams, blues, pale shades of any color—these hues are more serene."

Water; but then I don't do flowers, the living rooms were cluttered, and I didn't see a 4x4 like vehicle that greatly resembled a jeep, truck, or my classic sports cars I'd like to own. I'm assuming I'm still a water, but have fire tendencies.

RESULTS You Are an Earth Personality

Decorating with Brown 14 Living Room and Dining Room Makeovers How You Can Play With Color
Earth types—solid, grounded thinkers—like to surround themselves with deep blues, black, grays, and browns. Earth personalities are honest and loyal; it’s no coincidence that we describe steadfast companions as “true blue.” But Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of the Eisemancolorblog.com adds, “If you choose blues and grays, you’re likely a little more reticent and self-conscious,” and you can seem reserved, even standoffish.
According to Gillian Rose, a New York City–based interior-color specialist (colorourworld.com), the study of color and personality is age-old, based on the theories of the ancient Greek physician Galen, who designated four personalities he linked to bodily fluids: choleric (yellow bile), phlegmatic (phlegm), melancholic (black bile), and sanguine (blood). Early physicians and philosophers came to assign colors and characteristics of the natural world to these four temperaments; they linked melancholics to earth and deep blues and violets. (Note that the category that you fall into according to the quiz might not reflect you 100 percent: Many people are a combination of categories.) “Blue represents spirituality, authority, and high aspirations. Uniforms of people in positions of authority are often blue, from a surgeon’s pale-blue scrubs to an airline pilot’s navy-blue suit,” says Sandy Dumont, a stylist and the author of the blog the Image Architect. Research indicates that people are more productive in blue rooms. “And there’s a huge upside to choosing a calming blue for a kitchen or dining room,” says color expert Debbie Zimmer, the director of communications of Coating Materials for Dow. “Studies show that you’ll eat significantly less in a blue room than in a red one.” “A mid-tone gray in a warmer range is very relaxing. You can use so many colors with gray: soft peach, dusky pinks, softer yellows,” says Jackie Jordan, Sherwin-Williams’s director of color marketing.

RESULTS You Are a Fire Personality
Fire personalities, drawn to reds and oranges, are vivacious, charming, passionate, tend to attract people, and do not shy away from attention. Their emotions are strong and their moods shift quickly. But they can also be touchy and quick to anger, says Gillian Rose, a New York City–based interior-color specialist (colorourworld.com).
According to Rose, the study of color and personality is age-old, based on the theories of the ancient Greek physician Galen, who designated four personalities he linked to bodily fluids: choleric (yellow bile), phlegmatic (phlegm), melancholic (black bile), and sanguine (blood). Early physicians and philosophers came to assign colors and characteristics of the natural world to these four temperaments; they aligned cholerics with fire and red. (Note that the category that you fall into according to the quiz might not reflect you 100 percent: Many people are a combination of categories.) "If you surround yourself with warm colors, you are generally more outgoing. Red and orange push forward in your vision: Their wavelengths are actually longer, drawing more attention,” says Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of the Eisemancolorblog.com. “Red is a stimulating color that actually raises heart rate, appetite. Red is power,” says color expert Debbie Zimmer, the director of communications of Coating Materials for Dow. “Someone who wears something bold, chic, and likes color will definitely be more open to warm, bold tones in their home,” says Polly Lewis, a co-owner of Boston-based Lewis Interiors.
This is SOOOO me.
