Red Yellow Green Blue
Recently I was given a color personality test at a seminar I attended. I love participating in these types of things. I'm always so curious to see where I fit. Especially since there are times in life when I feel like I don't quite fit in anywhere. If honest with ourselves we've all experienced the feeling of not fitting in at one time or another. I just find it quite curious as to "why". When I first took the test I came up as a Blue. Our choices are Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. Since the seminar I've taken a couple of different versions of the color personality test. The questions asked on the different tests were never the same as the one before so I thought that my answers might cause a different outcome based on my mood when I retook the test. I thought that I must be a different color. So far I've been proven wrong. I am still coming up a strong Blue. My only changes are sometimes my second color is Yellow and sometimes it's Green. I never come up red. The fun part is how accurate the findings match my personality. I have a work personality and a home personality which are very different from the other so when I take the test I respond as I would at work. It helps me to understand others I work with. I've discovered that most people I work with are Yellows a few Reds and only a couple of Greens. So far I'm the only Blue that I know. It's fun and uncannily accurate. Enjoy the links below. See which personality you are and who you work with.
Below are the results of what the colors mean.

One of the worst phone calls a parent can receive starts with "I've been in an accident". All the strange things that go through your mind in about 2.2 seconds is amazing. The firing of questions is fast and furious. Let's start with, "Are you ok?" "Where are you?" "What happened?" "Anyone with you?" "Anyone hurt?". The questions go on and on and it's amazing how fast we as parents can rattle them off while the whole time you're just trying to figure out how to get to your kid the fastest way possible.
It's his first accident so he's been playing the "what if" game. "What if my friends had been with me?" Well, they would have been badly injured. The back seat was destroyed and the driver side seat broke. "What if the air bag hadn't gone off?" More than likely I would have seen his head print in the windshield. I didn't so I'm good with the fact that they did go off. "What if the gas tank had leaked?" The car that hit him lifted his vehicle and hit the gas tank. The gas tank held, didn't leak and didn't explode so again I'm thankful. As a young man he's having a harder time not thinking of the "What if". I, on the other hand am just thankful for "what is". He is ok and none of the bad things that he keeps thinking about happened to him.
