My Visual DNA

So my sister sent me this link a couple of days ago and I've been having some fun with it since. It's a personality test/ social networking/ online-shopping site. Basically, it purports to be able to discover your "Visual DNA" by the ways in which you respond to different pictures. Kinda like a Rorschach inkblot test, but without the inkblot...

The Gift Finder feature is kinda neat, and pretty darn accurate too. After responding to a series of pictures, it generates a list of gifts that might suit you, a wish-list of some sort. You're supposed to then send that to your loved ones so you don't get another dozen pair of socks or a sad sweater for your birthday. Amongst other things, it predicted that I would like these handmade Danish felt slippers (that I would totally buy if not for the fact that they cost 48 pounds each!...), a hamper of Italian yummies (not too much of a stretch there...), a Marimekko make-up bag (*gasp* my secret Marimekko lust has been exposed...), organic Dark Hot Chocolate (!!! who ARE these people??...), and a Tivoli radio, which believe it or not, we already own! So there, I can do without an apron that costs 18 pounds or an organic wine case (I guess if you had enough money to buy enough wine to want a wine case, you would want it to be organic... *rolls eyes*...), but on the whole, they've made the point- they get my Visual DNA... This is apparently what Visual DNA says about me (what? they figure out what I want for Christmas and now they want to expose the inner workings of my soul too? Right...)

Your choice of colour signifies a sense of intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty and calm. You are likely to be a very devoted and loyal person that likes things to be in order. You are probably happy to express your emotions and are regarded by your friends as someone that can easily gauge their mood.

Spare time is spent doing the little things in life that keep you going. You like the predictability of routine - but also the random nature of escaping the day to day and dreaming of somewhere else.

Nothing beats spontaneity; fun for you is unpredictable, reckless and a little childish! You have heaps of energy and love to be in the centre of things.

You love to surround yourself with friends - you are generous with your time - and it is a real treat to have a good conversation over a nice long dinner...

Your style is relaxed and approachable, you like things to have character, and posses that handcrafted feel.

When you have extra time you like to spend it enjoying the everyday activities that others ignore. These moments are sometimes snatched, but so important.

You like your holidays to be relaxing, and exotic. You want the basics - just sand and sea. Whether in a hotel or under the stars you love the laid back vibe of life on the beach, life passes so slowly and easily...

What matters to you most is your family, you see them as the backbone of your life.

Giving means doing that little bit extra for those that really matter to you. Shunning grand gestures, you know it is the little things in life that count. You are caring and appreciative, and sometimes a little soppy!
