True Colors Test Over the Crucible's Characters

During last class we took the True Colors Test and I got blue. I feel that this shouldn't be the correct color for me and so I looked at the rest of the results. As it turns out in a very close second was gold, which I feel suits me more accurately. So if I was asked what color I was I would probable answer blue and gold, because they were such a close finish. If someone asked me what I thought I was I would answer gold.

If you are someone that has never taken the True Colors Test, then you are probably very confused and wondering what all of the colors mean. If you are Green, you are someone who feels/knows that they are always right and are more of the thinkers and the analyst. You want to find a solution to all of the problems and have to fix them or the idea that an unnoticeable problem went wrong and never fixed. If you are a Gold person, you are the leader of the group. You love to lead people and dictate what they should do next. Along with that, when doing projects in class for school, you always volunteer to be the leader, plan what should and has to be done in what amount of time to get done before the due date. You always are paranoid about this and have to make sure that everything is done correctly and by its due date. You probably tend to do most of the work because you know you are right and must finish it. This is why I feel a Gold/Green person would be perfect for a project. Those are like the dynamic duo of project workers. While taking my test, I don't know why I didn't get orange. Orange people are the artistic ones of the group and tend to want to motivate people to make the right decisions and lead them in the correct path. Along with this they try to council the people about other problems. They are very random and hyper and usually have some form of ADHD. Blue people are the romantic ones and want to help people with relationship problems. They are very comforting and emotional in everything and want to help the other people. This is why I found it weird that I was classified as a Blue. I am a little emotional, but honestly I could care less about their relationships.

John Proctor was very easy to classify in this book, because his color stood out so well to me. John was definitely a Green because he always knew he was right, and when he was wrong he was always paranoid about it. An example of this was after his affair with Abigail (Miller 22). Once the witch trials started, John was paranoid about her telling and their secret getting out, but he knew he must fix the problem about the witch trials and affairs, fully aware that he might have to take a hit to his social status. He would have never wanted this, but he became so overwhelmed with something wrong going on, he felt that he must tell someone the truth about the whole thing. The entire story about John Proctors life made the color test analyzing so obvious and simple.
