Move over, Myers-Brigg, here's a personality test I can get behind
Don't scoff, it's a really great article.
How the ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Color Wheel Explains Humanity
I've been reading about this indirectly for years but this is the first exhaustive explanation I've seen written that examines not only the colors individually but the really complex interactions between them.
Figure out what colors you are and post 'em. :chuffed: C'mon!

Blue/Green/Red, yo. "Temur".
What's funny is those have always been my favorite colors to play - like, since the first packs I opened in sixth grade. You have to drag me into a deck that has Black in it (like opening packs with overwhelmingly better cards in Black), and White I'm cool with but never pick it first. If I possibly can go Blue, I will, and then pick up Green or Red as my secondary.

@charrondev is Blue/Green/Red.
@franciscaisse is Red/Green.
@danim is perhaps White/Green.
@Isis is perhaps Blue or Blue/Red.0 -
blue/red is the pairing that most typifies wild artistry and mad science

I feel like I lean White/Green or White/Red. Depending.
I ran a pretty alright colorless artifact deck in high school. I wonder how the author would interpret that with his wheel.

If the year was ~2004/2005, I'd say it was a Green indicator because artifact decks were extremely popular after the release of Mirrodin in Oct 2003 and for a couple years after. The "conventional wisdom" , if you will. :chuffed:

Hm, that's a lot more myr thought then I put into it. I just figured the author would see it as an indecisive personality or a chaotic one.

I read through this and at first was like "pfft the artist category, too easy" and then realized railing against being defined or controlled is pretty much on par for the color, so I have to accept the relative accuracy of it, begrudgingly.
