In a news story in USA Today it says that when over 800 CEO's took an online personality color test, they were three times more likely to favor magenta than the public, three times less likely to select red, and 3½ times less likely to choose yellow.
Is this personality test an accurate way of choosing jobs? Do our favorite colors predict what type of job we will be good at? Why would a large percentage of CEO's choose similar colors?
I am seeking a job and was curious as to what type of job I might be good at. I followed the link to take the free test, but there were problems with the link. I do know I am more likely to choose Magenta than I am to pick red and yellow would be way down in my spectrum of color choices. Does that mean I am CEO material? Could I just apply for a job as a CEO and expect to get it, because magenta is a great color?
They list other qualities that may be found in a typical CEO. They can be more sensitive and private. They are less likely to be a perfectionist or to be dominant and more likely to be emotionally unstable. They are often creative and have the ability to motivate. They are more likely to be social workers, artists and teachers. Other professions in this group are executive assistants, bank tellers and cashiers (I've been all three) Yes, I think I could fit into most of that description. Where do I apply for the job?
