Cost: £20 per person with a 50% discount for students weakness Sabi svanka warm-hearted side, skavy About the test A Swiss scientist Max Liischer invented the colour personality test in the 1980s. He believed a person's choice of colours can say a lot about their character, behaviour, abilities, weaknesses’ and needs. What do the colours mean? According to Dr Liischer, if you like wits best, it means that you like simple things. People who prefer white are usually very quiet and relaxed. People who like red are often sociable and confident, but they blame others for their problems when things go wrong. Pink is connected to love and beauty. People who prefer pink are often friendly and warm-hearted? but their happiness depends on people's good opinion of them. ‘Yellow is the colour of happiness and imagination. People who choose yellow as their favourite colour are brave and creative. They also get bored quickly. Ifyou like green best, it means that you are honest. You are gentle and kind, too. Sometimes this means that other people take advantage of you. Blue is the colour of kindness. People who like blue are patient and hard-working. It's also easy for them to understand other people's needs. Is the test accurate? ‘Many experts have criticised the test, saying that no one has managed to prove that it is accurate. Professor Reynolds will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the test. Words in context 4 Write the nouns for each of the adjectives (1-6) using the suffixes from the box.
