The test was an interesting interpretation of the colors; however, the choose a creature and avatar thing made it a bit too obvious which color was which. Mastering quiz making for this stuff is extremely hard as you have to emphasize subtle differences between the colors so people do not guess what each one represents.
First of all, nice test. You could try creating an automatic scoring system at OkCupid (last I checked, a long, long time ago you could. Not sure if you could still do it now).
1. You must venture through a dark and well guarded fortress of a powerful empire in order to destroy it's king and you have the option of choosing one mythological creature companion to join you, you choose . . .
c. A Pegasus would be the best option, reliable, valiant, a symbol of purity in the face of the corrupt, a light to guide the way in the darkness. It's also a fast means of transportation and its horn can be used to stab away enemies.
I believe that it is Unicorns that have horns and Pegasi that have wings.
I also ended up as GWU, which isn't really surprising. I knew I would be either Bant or Esper. However, few things bothered me:
First of all, 15 questions is a lot, especially when each questions give you 5 options, and since you have to "answer" each one of them, that takes a lot of time.
Second, some questions are just silly. I didn't really get the last question, about the avatar. Do I create my own creature or do I put my brain/soul/whatever into one of these creatures? Or both? And quite frankly, I didn't like any of the options. Also, the question was very similar to the first one.
Third, I really didn't care about "which famous person you want to meet?" Who really wants to meet Robert Frost? And if "a" answers represent red, why is Shakespeare red or Ceasar black? Why is a fancy restaurant with lots of dishes and champagne red? Why is Shuriken black? And so on...
Other than that, nice effort, and pretty accurate.

Thats definitely true, I know some of theme were somewhat subtle, like the favorite class one, but I struggled a bit on how to interpret the answers of some questions, like the avatar. I may create some newquestions, although I am working on a different style of quiz that grants me more creativity in how I can construct questions and answers.

OkCupid, I beleive that I have taken quiz's on there before were the scoring systems was somewhat in depth, I should take a look into it, thanks.

Ack, I'm mixing up commonly known mythological creatures! Oh well, mabye I'll edit it so that its a unicorn/pegasus hybrid.

Your right, fifteen questions is sufficient enough.
Yeah, I admit I rushed a couple of the last questions just so I could get the test posted, I may get around to editing those questions, although I am currently constructing a new version of the test.
I figured Robert Frost seemed green because he was a poet who wrote some poems on nature I think. Yeah I could have gone with a better option than him. Shakespear seemed red to me for the romantic plays he wrote, but again I could have chosen someone better suited for the epitome of red. Ceasar was black because he was an ambitious political leader he sought power. OK, I really should have done some more research into this question.
Here is a new version of the test, for those of you who own the Dissension Players Guide you'll know how it works. For those unfamiliar with it here are the rules:
Rate each statement on a scale from 1 ro 5 where 1 means you "strongly disagree" and 5 means you "strongly agree". Afterwards add the numbers across the corresponding answer sheet, the highest rated letter combination will be your color combination; the results are on the first page of this thread.
Quiz:
1. True justice comes not from over analyzed principles but rather from one's own inner conviction and impulses.
2. A strong and authoritative government is essential to keeping balance and peace among its citizens.
3. Sometimes objects of sentimental value need to be discarded and replaced by better, more superior versions.
4. Unnecessary innovation often leads to a lack of group stability and chaos.
5. Being adventurous and having fun are usually more important than living safely.
6. One should always be prepared to sacrifice something minor of themselves in order to advance the greater good.
7. The most important social relation amongst one's peers is reputation.
8. The process of learning should always be an enjoyable and pleasurable experience.
9. All people fit into a social hierarchy where everyone is equal and yet better than the social hierarchs beneath them.
10. Ones' passions should be carefully thought out and organized in a constructive manner.
11. The decisions of those in charge are often more important than my own opinions.
12. One's instincts are simply the result of their extremely powerful mental capabilities.
13. The morally right action should always be done, even if that means several laws are broken in the process.
14. It's essential to a good life that one be altruistic to all living things and the environment they live in.
15. The greatest things in life are not what we create, but what life itself gives us.
16. People should be informed with a sufficient amount of knowledge and good education, whether they want it or not.
17. Base urges and fleeting passions are some of the greatest foundations of life.
18. The status quo is nothing but the outdated beliefs of those who have too much authority over other people.
19. Parasitic lifestyles often form a symbiotic bond between any number of inhabitants, granted that those inhabitants provide each other with sufficient resources.
20. It is wrong to not deeply care about the homeland one has grown up in.
21. If a comrade or friend is in danger I should immediately help them, regardless of any biased opinions that I or anyone else holds towards them.
22. My account of justice is more important than other peoples account of justice.
23. It's acceptable to commit a few bad actions once in a while, as long as it's for the sake of progress.
24. Sometimes unforgivable actions must be done in order to maintain stability and political control.
25. Commonly accepted morals only serve to get in the way of better things in life.
26. Feelings and thoughts are both equally important in a person's life.
27. One should have the freedom to impose their righteous beliefs onto others that they deem unworthy.
28. A government should be set up to always protect certain freedoms and decisions of other, while condemning others.
29. Compared to most other people I know, I'm typically more exceptional and uncommon.
30. An act is generally more important if the emotion behind it is strong.
I like this new one more, although the scoring process could be explained a bit more. But this one gave me U/G/R, which is exactly what I consider myself!

I came in as BUG I agree with this entirely. My green counterpart only came in with 13 points, where as black came in at a whopping 68 and blue came in with 46. Red and white came down at five a piece. I've always thought myself to be more blue than black, but some of the blue answers were a little.. eh. I still really like my outcome, though.

Woo! I got :symw::symu::symb:. Not surprisingly, but still good news to me anyway. No wonder I liked the plane of Esper so much in Alara. And now...TO CONSTRUCT THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE!

Well I got Blue/White/Black. No real surprise. I knew that was my color set for a long time now. I like the level of thought you put into your test but it suffers from the same flaw that all of the tests I've seen suffer from. It's not subtle enough. If people aren't being honest it's not hard to figure out which answers correspond to which color and manipulate the results. I'm not sure how you'd go about making it more subtle though.
On the other hand, thanks. Now I have the appropriate three color tag for my sig.
EDIT: I will say though that the ratios were pretty accurate for my colors.
C-was the second highest with 54
D-was the highest with 66
E-was third with 48
Red and green were within a point of each other so that was pretty unsurprising.
It's good to see theat my thread is still alive and well. As of now I am working on more MTG color quizzes, but they are very different then the ones from before (they won't be testing people on three color traits, but rather a variation between mono/dual color hybrids). I'm also going to try and construct matching banners with the results of the next quiz (once I get around to re-learning how to use photoshop).
wow, the description of the B/R/G is very similar to how I describe myself, a knowledge-thirsty kind of person, kudos to savage brain.... even my avatar (whom I choose because of the color it represents, red and blue) resembles this color...
@savage brain: I'm wondering how you make the item, do you do any statistical check first on which item has a good validity and reliability, thanks..

Wait, is the item that your talking about the banner or the disciption within the banner?
the problem here is that the answers are easy to identify and in question the color corresponds to the same letter, thus in taking the test its easy to engineer the final results
I dont get ow to tally up your second test. can someone help me? pls

Between the two tests, I got BRG and BRW at an equal amount in the first test, and then BRG and RGW in the second test at the same amount. Just adding my total hits together, I am going to go with BRG. The Jund Wedge always is fun for me lol. Great Quizes by the way
One, creator, your quiz was actually a lot of fun to read, I just have to say, it was exceptionally easy to begin to figure out which color is which, so then it is easier to just get the answer you want.
I'm not blaming you, I just wanted to point that out (as I keep trying to find one of these, that the answers really mean nothing until you find out what color you are.
Second, I got UBG... Which I really don't like U and B, but see myself being exceptionally close to G.....(I always saw myself as WRG).. Though reading the description along with my color combo... It actualyl does sound like me.. and I do like the simic.. but Golgari? really. *sigh* I don't like dredge... Can I change out for Izzet? But I guess if you combine the B and U you get Dimir, so I guess I'm okay... but it is weird knowing that I'm the two colors I don't really like that much and the color I like the best.

It's simply:
(1/ ) + (15/ ) + (21/ )
for question one, chose a score of 1 through 5 (1 being strognly disagree, 5 being strongly agree, 3 is nuetral), the jot that down next to the slash:
(1/5 ) + (15/ ) + (21/ )
The do that for each coresponding question, then add up each row of scores, and then if you answer is a-b-c, go to the first page of this thread and you'll know your colors.

The test isn't exactly perfect, I mean weird results are more then likely to show up, which has occured among some people in this thread here, myself included. You could always wait several weeks and retake the test, chances are your results will change slightly, but as to what colors you possess, that to an extent is up to you to decide on (although I initally thought I was GU when I first started magic, then I was GUB then GUR then GR then GRB then GRW and now I'm staying with GR).

Sounds about right. Not liking the second test you made though, it seems too random to me (and it gave me an answer I didn't like).

Ok well this time I got tied between BUG and BUR.
I got all there BU answers as my highest one at one point.
Also:
Naya and Bant are second for me. Followed by Esper this time. Then Jund/BWR.
Then RUG.
Lastly RWU and GBW
