Color test

My latest obsession -- and that of my coworkers -- are personality assessments. A recent one I took is the color code personality test, which asks the test taker to evaluate their childhood personality traits. I thought the questions were hokey at first, but the results are spot-on:

Motive [ Peace ]
Whites are motivated by Peace. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, whites are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle.

ABOUT WHITE
Whites need their "alone time" and refuse to be controlled by others. Whites want to do things their own way and in their own time. Whites are much stronger than people think, but are not often seen for their strength because they don't easily reveal their feelings. Whites are even-tempered, diplomatic, and the voice of reason; but can also be indecisive, unexpressive, and silently stubborn. When you deal with a WHITE, be kind, accept and support their individuality, and look for non-verbal clues to understand their feelings.

What color are you?

  1. I had a hard time with it because I have no idea what I would have done as a child. Plus I was very different in California where I was comfortable with all my friends, then elementary school where I was incredibly shy, then middle school where I cam out of my shell a little. Anyway, apparently I'm Blue.

    MOTIVE
    Blues are motivated by Intimacy. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give of themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.

    ABOUT BLUE
    Blues have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). Blues are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.
