What liking the colour pink REALLY says about your personality
People who like the colour pink tend to have 'a childlike innocence in their hearts' - but can also be 'fragile' and 'need to learn to be strong', according to a top psychologist. In the 1940s, Swiss psychologist Max Lucier formulated a test inspired by the thesis that if two people share the same favourite colour they may share personality traits. His theories have recently surged in popularity due to TikThought, a popular US TikTok account which shares videos addressing a wide range of psychological questions - both serious and lighthearted. In a recent video on the account explains the theory that the colour pink, commonly associated with 'soft marshmallows, princess-like dreams and romantic warmth', is indicative of 'a childlike innocence' that, in turn, makes those who like the colour appear 'pure and harmless'. The video says that those who favour pink tend to have 'an easygoing and kind personality'. They are friendly people who are 'compassionate' and like looking after their friends and family. It also explained that those who like pink have a 'gentle temperament' often makes others want to protect them. When it comes to their love lives, those who prefer pink to other colours tend to be romantics who 'long for a life full of love and harmony'. They might crave a love that is reminiscent of fairytales while they are universally seen as 'considerate and delicate little angels' by friends. But, according to TikThought, those who love pink may also struggle as a result of their 'delicate' temperament. The can be especially sensitive to what other people say or do and may feel bruised by the slightest criticism or a little neglect. They can equally be dreamers who 'immerse themselves in their own fantasy world and escape the edge of reality.' Being prone to fantasy, they might encounter more disappointment than others when reality fails to match up to what they have imagined. 'When reality is not as good as expected, they will feel at a loss,' TikThought added. Compared to a crystal ball, those who are drawn to pink offer clarity but are also fragile. 'They touch people's hearts with their kindness and simplicity but they also need to learn to be strong and take good care of their sensitive souls,' the video concludes. A number of TikThought's fans were convinced by the picture the account painted of someone who loves pink. One person commented: 'This is ODDLY specific to me'. Another agreed: 'A little too accurate'. While a third, apparently referring to the video's claim that people who like pink are prone to fantasy, said: 'How did you know I do maladaptive daydreaming?' Yet, others were sceptical about TikThought's characterisation of people who prefer pink to other colours. One person said: 'I like pink but I'm soft hearted with anger issued. Another stated: 'I love pink but I am NOT a little angel bro'. Fans of TikThought who like the colour pink were quick to comment on the viral clip Not everyone, however, agrees that their is a link between someone's favourite colour and their personality traits. A study published in 2021 - titled What Does Your Favourite Colour Say About Your Personality? Not Much - looked into whether there was a connection between the two things. Following their testing, the authors concluded: 'Favourite colours appear unrelated to personality, failing to support the practical utility of colour-based personality assessment.'

Billionaire Charlie Munger Had 8 Kids And Said Who You Are At Birth Is Who You'll Always Be — 'I've Never Found A Way To Fix That'
Ever feel like you're stuck with yourself—no matter how many vision boards you make or how many "new you" phases you cycle through? According to the late Charlie Munger, that might not be a lack of progress. That might just be biology doing its thing. Munger, who served as vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and was Warren Buffett's right-hand man for over four decades, wasn't one for sugarplum theories or motivational fluff. He believed people were mostly hardwired from day one—and he had the personal experience to back it up. As the father of eight kids, he'd seen enough personalities unfold in real time to feel confident in his conclusion. Don't Miss: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — In a 2019 CNBC interview with "Squawk Box" host Becky Quick, Munger explained, "I think they come into the world, to a certain extent, pre-made. And you just sit there and watch." He didn't stop there. "The shy baby is the shy adult. The booming, obnoxious, domineering baby is the booming, domineering, obnoxious adult. I've never found a way to fix that." Munger wasn't offering parenting advice—he was making a much broader point about human nature. Whether you're raising a kid or just trying to navigate your own personal evolution, he seemed to believe the core of who you are doesn't really budge. In his words: "I can be cheerful about it, but I can't fix it. I can change my reaction, but I can't change the outcome." This mindset was part of a larger life philosophy Munger shared during the interview. When asked by Quick about the secret to a long and happy life, he rattled off what he called "simple rules": don't envy, don't resent, live within your means, stay cheerful, and deal with reliable people. "And all these simple rules work so well to make your life better," he said, "and they're so trite." Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — And if you're wondering how old he was when he figured that out? "About seven," he replied. Even at that age, he said, he could spot irrationality in the adults around him. "Some older people were a little bonkers," he said. That early observation helped shape a worldview that stayed with him well into his 90s. So if you've been blaming your quirks on your environment, your parents, or your high school gym teacher—Munger might tell you to look further back. Like, birth. His advice? Don't try to rewrite your wiring. Just figure out how to live with it—and maybe even laugh about it.

A personality test said I was Darth Vader. I'm so proud
What cake are you? A Battenburg, a baked Alaska with a cool core of logic, or a dependable fruit cake? Which Star Wars character are you? Han Solo, Chewbacca or frank and decisive Princess Leia? These are questions that might be a bit of fun to amuse bored children while stuck in traffic on the M6 but personality questionnaires, which group people into different categories, are used in a surprisingly large number of offices as team-bonding exercises or even in recruitment. Those raising an eyebrow at how sensible this might be have every right to express a Yoda-like scepticism. Last week a judge at an employment tribunal ruled that Lorna Rooke, an NHS worker, had suffered a workplace 'detriment' after she was compared to Darth
