On closer inspection and with translation into English, it appears that actually, the description of me as brown in the previous post is pretty darn accurate.
So apologies and thanks to Gill for explaining it in layman's terms and pushing me to re-read it.
I hereby accept the mantle of browness and try to avoid taking anything apart due to my inquisitive nature.

What Bollocks.
These quizzes are great for time-wasting, but they don't half spout some guff.
"Your true colour is brown!
You're brown, a credible, stable colour that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral colour, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart."

Surprise, surprise...
Another predictable me quiz...
"Calm down, you're an overreactor!
You're an Overreacter. Putting you in the ranks of professional worriers everywhere, your stress style makes for a rather dramatic life. You tend to imagine worst-case scenarios whenever possible — in some way, picturing the most severe outcome even feels comforting.
But while feeling stressed before problems occur gives you a sense of control, it can also be exhausting (not to mention time-consuming). Reacting sharply to stress may also make you prone to angry (even violent) outbursts. Reining in your knee-jerk reactions could help you get this tendency under control and make you a less unpredictable person to be around in times of trouble. So, relax a bit... we promise the sky won't fall if you stop holding it up!"

Nerds Ahoy!
So I found this on Harry's site and discovered I am as predictable as I thought. I don't know whether this makes me proud or makes me feel like total shite.

Arr, pirates
So I've done another test...
Ooh argh! You be an eccentric dandy of a pirate!
Well, aren't ye the charmin' rapscallion? Ye could probably rob someone blind and still leave 'em feeling chuffed that they met you – even if ye made them walk the plank! Whilst ye have one sea weary eye on amassin' a personal treasure trove fit to sink the finest galleon, yer other eye (assuming you're not wearing a patch) is makin' sure you're always seen to be struttin' yer stuff and lookin' mighty fine. Just like Jack Sparrow ye'd never be slow in remindin' people that there should be a 'Captain' afore your name and if ye happen to be more than a little bit eccentric it just adds to yer air of piratey mystique. Ye certainly don't need a parrot or a wooden leg, but we wouldn't be too surprised if ye had a tattoo or two in some interesting places!
