The colors don't lie?

[feuervogel]

So one of my friends linked to this here career test based on color choices. I have to say, I think it's pretty accurate, though I have no idea what algorithm they use to get these results. I'd be interested to see any elaboration thereof, actually.

Yeah, I was trying to find out how it works but my google-fu is lacking.

Oh god the story, I realized only way after I sent it to you that I should have warned you about possible grossness. >_>;;;; I hope it wasn't too terrible.

I work in medicine, bb. Don't worry XD I've seen and smelled things that are pretty nasty. (melena, diabetic foot, gangrenous leg... happens when you like infectious diseases.)

(I have an opening line to a story but no idea for the rest of it: You never forget the smell of gangrene.)

Oh man, you are a stronger person than I. Just looking up the little info I needed grossed me out big time. My god/dess of death shows hirself as a rotting corpse at times, and the one time I tried to draw hir I gave myself the heebie-jeebies.

I have a super weak stomach. >_>;;;

Lol my mom watches all those medical shows, and then she'll tell us about them AT THE DINNER TABLE. My face gets stuck like D: D: D:
Strangely enough, while she can handle watching those live operations, she'll get squicked by fake blood and fake violence in action movies.

Some types of yuck I can handle; others not so much. Zombies and most surgery? Not really. Swollen, infected limbs? Sure! (I spent a good 15 or more comments on a post at little-details figuring out what sort of infection someone's character could get. It's fun :) )

I'm not a big fan of fake gore in horror movies, but I can deal with, like, gunshot wounds in cop movies. I think the issue is whether I can see internal organs. Then I get squeamish.
