Is a person excused for being ignorant of the ruling on divination derived from forums that link characteristics to colors or animals? What is the ruling on believing studies that link certain characteristics to intelligence, eye color, or situational choices, and is their ruling the same as that of divination? And is one absolved of responsibility by saying "I do not know" while not believing, as a precaution?
What you mentioned falls under personality analysis. Some of it is a form of divination, or ignorance and conjecture, while some of it is a permissible, sound science. As long as you are ignorant of the ruling, there is no sin upon you, because ignorance of a religious ruling is one of the impediments to accountability, as Ibn Uthaymeen said.
