Oh yeah, _that’s_ me. :rolleyes:

I’m intrigued by the number of Browns on the board.

If you’re familiar with the Myers-Briggs (sp?) schema, I associate Brown with INTJ (both of which describe me pretty well). My husband and kids are ESTPs, as is my mother. Are there any known ESTPs out there? If so, what color are you - and do you think the color-thing is as good a descriptor as M-B?

My colors HAVE to be Silver and Turquoise.

I like the guy who said Clear, though. I guess he had a Mac.

Brown. The color you get when all others are mixed together. The color of:  
chocolate;  
a late-August landscape;  
my eyes;  
my personality.

I hate it when these tests are right.

Reliable and trustworthy green, the description of which has already been posted.

What’s with all of the browns?

**Wozzo** , FWIW, I am a Myers-Briggs ESFP and my color is yellow (which also happens to be my favorite color) Both of them to describe me pretty well, although the M-B is more detailed.

Ohyea. I rock! real good.

You’re yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It’s hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won’t allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can’t get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

Thats me all the way

I also came up brown and I too am INTJ (logical loner).

I’m a brown ENTP, but just barely on the extrovert side. I think the intuitive and thinking parts are the ones that match up.
