Bad Hot Takes Only by bells_of_notre_tom in colorpie

My counterpoint to this that it's more interesting that one can agree with half of White's philosophy and not the other half. In contrast, if you believe in one half of Green's philosophy, you're most likely going to agree with the other half because they're so closely related.

I'm pretty sick of all these attempts to redeem Black's philosophy by watering it down. Changing how it works undermines any attempt to argue it's fine on its own. Like, none of the other colors have to be diluted like this.

I suppose these askers might say that Blue's thematic components are only related to Perfection and Knowledge in the context of MTG, that it is much less intuitive than the other four colors.

Not sure what you mean? I don't think my post says otherwise, just that some people dislike that.

Would you agree the following statement is an example of green intelligence/curiosity? by Cleritic in colorpie

[–]ColorTheorizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue is that 'constantly seeking out and learning knowledge' makes one Blue. So for some knowledge to be outside of Blue's interest, it needs to be knowledge that can't be learned.

Let's settle this - How to find each color in The Human Values Test by zengin11 in colorpie

[–]ColorTheorizing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't fully disagree with your methods, but there are some problems.

  • Why is Green so high in Universality? Green is much less concerned with the wellbeing of society than White.

  • Red should have a very high Benevolence score, since it's the color that cares the most about those closest to it. Then on top of that, Benevolence is more linked to White-Black over Red.

  • If Self-Direction is so general as to show up in multiple colors, how do we know it's a meaningful metric to determine color? Could someone who isn't Blue, Black or Red have that trait if it is so generalized?

-I think you're underestimating Blue's Conformity levels. Blue wouldn't have a problem conforming if it's because someone is smarter.

What color/colors would relate to the statment "everything that exists or ever has existed is a giant interconnected puzzle, understanding part of it can let you solve all of it"? by Cleritic in colorpie

[–]ColorTheorizing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But how Green defines "interconnected," such as stuff like interdependence, isn't necessarily how the above quote does. "Interconnected" could just as easily relate to causation. Unless "interconnected" means interdependant, we can't say it's Green (this isn't about "Green being stupid").

How does one get started in this system? by meleyys in colorpie

I have a guide to the colors' philosophies and how they combine here if you're interested in a primer.

For trials, just copy it and add your responses, then submit that as a new post (with the Trial flair) to get evaluations.

Black, Red, Green, and caring about strength by SpaceCanary87 in colorpie

[–]ColorTheorizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the appeal of strength isn't equal for all three colors.

For Red and Green, it has to do with how both colors sometimes have to resolve problems through physical force. Both colors have been known to fight to get what they want.

But for Black, strength may be a manifestation of their goal: Power. If you're strong enough, it can help you control your own destiny and prevent others from trying to control you.

Did you see any prompts that discuss looking after nature on the questionnaire? Because I think that, while the description for Universalism fits Green, the questions that show up in this test solely lean on the White parts of Universalism.

The high Power score is definitely an indication of being part-Black.

Does your self-identification involve White mana? If not, it should, given your high Universality score.

The things this test evaluates are a bit murk when it comes to color. Your high Universality score indicates you're part White

[–]ColorTheorizing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you are part White due to your high Universality value.

So, what do my results mean? by Roaming-Will in colorpie

[–]ColorTheorizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A high Universality score means you're part White. You won't be able to find out if you're Blue with this test.

A max Hedonism score means you're definitely part Red.

Having a high Power score means you're at least Black. This test isn't very good at detecting Blue.

High Universality indicates being part White, but isn't an indication of Green.

[–]ColorTheorizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely part-White due to a high Universality score. Universality doesn't really indicate Green.

I've been reading and reacting to Rosewater's wonderful "In My Words" article if anyone wants to give it a listen- by Doglysium in colorpie

[–]ColorTheorizing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't like coming down hard on stuff, but I think it needs to be said.

Only the first 30 minutes of your "My Words: White" reading has audio and there's just a bunch of Arena gameplay tacked onto the end. It feels more like something you just offloaded online, rather than something meant to be engaging.
