The Dollar Purple

What if I told you there was an online application that has you judge your favorite colors (and least favorite) that would come up with the best career for you?

"That's a bunch of hooey?"

After reading the article about the Dewey Color System on CareerBuilder, I decided to take the Color Career Councilor test on the Career Path site.

The results were interesting. Part of my job description here is Writer, part is Stuff Coordinator (events, trainings, etc.). The Career Councilor picked out Organizer as my best occupational category. Which isn't shabby, if I do say so myself.

But then again, I'm wondering if this is anything like reading the horoscope for a sign other than your own. Which always leads you to say, "Wow, that's exactly what I'm going through!"

I looked a little further into the system, invented by staffing industry vet, Dewey Sadka and couldn't find any real science behind the system he invented.

Which is not to say I think it doesn't work, but it really does seem like Magical Thinking.

Did anyone take the test? What were your thoughts?
