Appliance Personality? What's Yours?
Here's a quickie, but it looks like fun...take this little test and report back! Tell me what your color personality is! I took it and I'm Type 14 - or, "encased meats" which I'm thrilled with because it means I'm all over the place with diverse interests! ;) I suppose it could have been worse, I could have been called plain yogurt.

I'm an 11 - "mojo". "Always the life of the party, you love the attention and are thrilled to always be in demand. But much like that other party favorite, guacamole, once you get brown and icky around the edges you need to retire to the kitchen to recharge your batteries and scrape off the top layer. Then you are ready to charge back in and charm the chips away from the salsa"
You know what - that kind of IS me! Bizarre.
I'm Inked, Type 13 - apparently I'm annoyingly energetic!
Who knew that Amana can predict highly personal insight just from our refrigerator preferences?? They're smart!
I'm a 17; "Observant and analytical." I'd say they pegged me pretty well.
"Observant and analytical, you have a strong craving for order and neatness in your life and emotions. Like a perfectly presented bento box lunch, you do an excellent job of compartmentalizing your work and home life. This helps you immerse yourself in each fully, but can leave your friends and coworkers wondering exactly what you are like when you aren’t with them. Only the wasabi knows for sure."
As a designer, there are far worse things I could be. I'd call observant and analytical high praise indeed.
Great post!
modernmama, no comment!
Paul, sure, if you do not have those qualities, BIG mistakes happen!
What a fun little test and interesting colors and patterns for a refrigerator. I was 05 described as "good people".
I'm type 09 - Illusion. I have layers... like an onion.
I'm really surprised to see each responder being a different number. Interesting!
Okay, I was a 17: Observant and analytical, you have a strong craving for order and neatness in your life and emotions. Like a perfectly presented bento box lunch, you do an excellent job of compartmentalizing your work and home life. This helps you immerse yourself in each fully, but can leave your friends and coworkers wondering exactly what you are like when you aren’t with them. Only the wasabi knows for sure.
This could not be a more inaccurate description of me. My life is chaotic and far from neat, and I'm generally fine with my life being far from neat. I am absolutely horrible at compartmentalizing, life and work are all mixed up together. And I am exactly the same at work as I am at home. Too much so. Not enough boundaries about my personal life.
I guess I should try again.
Jeannie, you sound in real life just like me! I'm all over the place, but I do have discipline when I need it, so maybe that's the piece of you it picked up, maybe? Listen to me, I'm sounding as if this is a serious analysis, ha!!
Love it! I'm TYPE 01: Impeccable taste. Rich, warm and welcoming – and sometimes a little nutty. You put home and hearth first, valuing what’s on the inside. Not wanting to be eaten up by other people’s needs, you hide your inner softness beneath a slightly rough exterior. Or we’ve confused you with a brownie. In which case your inside is fudgy, too.
how fun! I really wish I could get a fridge that looked like that. They need to make fridge covers like cell phone covers, snap on a new color!
Hi Susan: I loved the brocade. However, apparently I'm a 2 and need therapy.
Our crack team of inkblots has studied your choices. As best as we can decipher their handwriting, this is you:
Patient and relaxed, you are good with children, stupid people and at untying knots. You seek to minimize conflict by remaining non-committal about everything except putting mayo on French fries. Others are attracted to your seemingly genuine interest in their lives, not realizing that you have mastered the art of sleeping with your eyes open. This skill is an important part of how you remain patient and relaxed.
(Renovating in Orlando ... um forever apparently)
Type 17 -- Observant and analytical, you have a strong craving for order and neatness in your life and emotions...etc.etc. Only the wasabi knows for sure.
I know I should say something pithy about designing and organization, but all I could think was, "Bring on the sushi!" :D
TYPE 18 - Sweet and soft with just a bit of zest, you are the social equivalent of lemon frosting. Whether that means you’re happy on top of a cupcake we can’t answer – this is a family website. But we can say that your witty repartee saves you from being sticky sweet. That and your disturbing proficiency with a meat cleaver.
LOL!!!
I was a Type 17: Observant and Analytical. True in my case.
I wonder if they could just make color and design "skins" from vinyl, so you could change the look of your fridge whenever you felt like it.
Eh... "Others are attracted to your seemingly genuine interest in their lives, not realizing that you have mastered the art of sleeping with your eyes open. This skill is an important part of how you remain patient and relaxed."
said i'm ILLUSION, also gave me a number of a good shrink!!!
Type 14 - That's definitely me! :-D
Nice post!
I got a 10-Illusion, too, and I also need therapy. But unlike geral64, I disliked the Brocade and placed it last.
Maybe people who have strong feelings about Brocade are a little off-kilter.
I'm type 13 and boy was it bang on target!
if i had a full white kitchen then i woult def. go for the Mojo Fridge :)
yeah, but can it keep the food cool and not run too much energy? seriously. I am sort of the number they said, wtih a bit of others mixed in.
a pink fridge is not for me though. blue? I could do blue.....brocade? no. white and black swirl, no
fun susan!
Type 16... what? I'm the only one?
When do they make their "choice"?
Or is it marketing hype and they won't do any of them due to the inevetible and over due housing downturn and all around crappy economy?
Type 09 - The world is your oyster, and you are going to slurp it up with lots of hot sauce and a little lemon. You charge ahead in all circumstances, expecting the best and often getting it. Your amazing confidence helps you grab life by the briny shell and drink it in, but can be intimidating to others. Especially the oyster.
True. Except I don't like raw oysters.
This was unexpected from Amana.
They have always been rather staid.
A fun exercise! Thanks for posting it Susan
I was a #16 and apparently need therapy but I really loved that Mojave color.Nice to see color comming back to the kitchen,White is boring, black makes me feel like I'm on the Deathstar and Stainless feels to sterile.
I think it's time to set up a group therapy schedule. How are Tuesday evenings?
