What Do Your Little Eyes See?
I saw this online quiz – and took the test. The results of the quiz would tell whether I am an Idealist, Realist or Surrealist, based on the color selections I made throughout the quiz. I’m not validating the merits of this quiz, but I think it “nailed it” for who I feel I am…
