Your true self, by color.
By Alice Kelly — Last updated on Apr 06, 2023
Another day, another TikTok trend. A 2021 craze that swept the video-sharing app is the Color Personality Test that people used to express themselves via, you guessed it, color psychology.
TikTokers were sharing their results in videos, often with little context, which had many of us wondering what exactly this test was about.
Those with the color “sprout” are definitely getting the most laughs on social media because the test basically exposed them for being “lazy perfectionists stuck in a house and unable to refuse.” Ouch!
But plenty of other color personalities are also using the test to connect with like-minded people by sharing their results in the hopes of finding their match.
What is the Color Personality Test?
The Color Personality Test is possibly derived from the True Colors personality profiling system, created by Don Lowry, which is used to categorize people’s temperaments and how they deal with challenging situations.
However, that system uses just 4 main colors while the Color Personality Test has the shade range of a colorful summer wardrobe.
Fortunately for those of us whose attention spans have been severely reduced thanks to TikTok, the test is super quick and easy to do.
Consisting of just 12 questions, the test gauges how you deal with social situations and how you view life as a whole. Then, it gives you a color category based on your answers and offers some interesting insights into your behavior, what challenges you face, and what draws you to others. Think: a BuzzFeed quiz.
Best of all, it tells you what colors you are attracted to and what colors you should avoid so you can compare your results with friends.
If you want to join in on the fun, keep reading to learn how to take the Color Personality Test to find out how you behave in front of your friends.
