A facebook friend had a post about the color of his aura. PG has always been vaguely aware of auras, but never curious enough to learn much. Here was a chance to go to google city, see some non facebook linked quizzes, and write a colorful post about auras. Black and white pictures are from ” The Special Collections and Archives,Georgia State University Library”
Quizilla, which sounds like a Japanese horror movie made for Lifetime, cops the top spot. The page has an ad for something called…no, the banner ad at the top just changed, now they are flogging the Toyota Sienna, only to swap out for the Amazing savings this week only at Staples.
The first question shows a problem with internet quizzes. “How do you view life? Life is full of creativity and adventures. Life is nurturing and taking care of others. Life is passion and excitement. Life is peaceful and full of nature. Life is…… blah. Life is wonderful! It’s joyous and all laughter.” At some time or another, PG has felt all six of those answers. To choose one is not going to be accurate. Maybe the best thing to do is live in the moment, and answer how you feel now.
After seven multiple choice questions, the verdict was in. PG has a green aura. The text about this cannot be copied, but it would not be out of place in a new age coffee house.
Blogthings is the next stop on our tour. The ad is for a dating service, that will “MAKE HIM ADDICTED TO YOU”. After a few multiple choice questions, we learn the answer. “Your Aura is Violet. Idealistic and thoughtful, you have the mind and ideas to change the world. And you have the charisma of a great leader, even if you don’t always use it! The purpose of your life: saying truths that other people dare not say. Famous purples include: Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Susan B. Anthony. Careers for you to try: Political Activist, Inventor, Life Coach.” The ad next to this answer is for Geek2Geek. “Why can’t I find a date? Maybe because you’re looking in the wrong places. Try Geek2Geek.”
Squidoo does not have a quiz. They do have an ad, from a lady who will read Tarot cards for free. The page is devoted to information about the different colors that auras have, and what they tell us. There is a video about cleaning auras.
Allthetests is advertising a Betty White movie called “Hot in Cleveland”. When you answer the first multiple choice question, a pop up ad for digital doodahs runs screaming onto your desktop. This test is a doozie. The answer was 40% green, 30% yellow, or 30% violet. “If you want to know correct answers, please click on the button on the right ‘The correct answers for this quiz’. If you don’t see this button, it is not possible to view the correct answers! If you want to receive this test results per e-mail, please enter your e-mail address here: “
Quibblo joins the popup party, featuring an ad from the publishers clearing house. The first three questions deal with what happens when you go to town with a friend, who is wearing a fashion tragedy. The answer is “Black Possitive Traits: Strong and independant. Negative Traits: Can be unforgiving, ruthless or very cold. “
Thiaoouba Prophecy does not offer a quiz. They have a page of information, with the slogan “Believing is not enough;you need to KNOW.” There are drawings of Buddha and Jesus, both of whom sport auras. You have the opportunity to buy the workshop notes, and expanded version of the information on this page. Rev. Cassandra Anaya has a similar vibe in her 1999 era website. She gives instruction in aura reading. “You may also wish to take nonliving objects, like rocks and such, and try to see their auras as well. This can be very good practice for you.”
Suite101 continues the information only trend, with an ad for the flat belly diet. A guest left this comment: “im 12 and im really confused because i keep following this step by step thing i downloaded off the internet for seeing your aura and i dont know if im doing it wrong or if i dont have one so now i think im going to seek psychic help”
Pamala Oslie chimes in with her Personal Aura Colors Quiz. It is an extensive set of questions, designed to narrow your personality down to a couple of life colors. There is an ad for a Dating service, run by Pam, based on Aura colors. After what seemed like a thousand questions, we find out that PG has the highest score for Magenta as a life color.
Once, there was a radio station giving away tickets to a concert by Portishead. The question to win the tickets was, what color is the disc jockey’s hair. PG answered Magenta, and won the tickets. According to Wikipedia, magenta is another word for fuchsia.
