How can one's favorite color help determine one's mindset?

Question

I've seen my Physics teacher ask every one of my friends their favorite color and food and correctly guess each one's mindset (introvert/extrovert, nerd/easygoing and the like). So, what's the trick?

Also, please tell me, if possible, what other seemingly trivial things can give a person's mind away and how.

I would appreciate really expert answers for the last part.

I assure everybody I will NEVER misuse this info

Answer 1

You are very curious and that is good. I can't think how you could misuse such information. The 10 personality defenses can over-shadow these simple determinants. But as for color therapy, the warmer colors are for extroverts such as reds and oranges. Introverts gravitate toward the blue cool tones. You notice that most diners have red seats and booths because red is supposed to increase the appetite. You might be interested in an experiment with a prison waiting area for prisoners. When they painted it light purple, the prisoners tested out as calmer. Color can and does effect a person's general mood. Music is the quickest way to effect others in listening distance and can drive people up the wall or quiet them.

I am sorry but I don't know what you mean about trivial things revealing a person's mind unless you might be interested in Body Language also which is fascinating. You would need a paperback for that though as it is a lengthy study and there are many signs. Don't be ashamed of wanting to read people. It furthers communication.

Answer 2

I love bright colors and I am outgoing and sensitive. Watch people's body movements and whether they look you in the eye..
