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.
