What Color Are You??

By
Real Estate Agent with The Real Estate Power Houses

Ever wonder why some people rub you the wrong way or you find yourself scratching your head trying to figure out someone’s behavior?  I think the color personality test is such an effective way to try to understand why some personalities clash. This is especially effective if you’re going to be considering partnering up with someone in a business venture or just learning how to deal with others in general.

When I used to work for the State of Texas they did a development training implementing a test similar to this and it was very interesting to see everyone’s results.  What was enlightening is I was able to understand why there was this individual who was silent every morning even when I greeted her with a “Good Morning.”  I couldn’t approach her till 10:00a.m.  That’s when she felt like talking.

GREEN personalities tend to be analytical in their way of thinking. They will explore other possibilities or alternative way of doing things. Not very routine individuals.

BLUE personalities are driven by emotion. You desire to be liked and accepted. You may find yourself being the “caretaker.” You may be too generous to a fault.

GOLD personalities are those that watch the clock and tend to keep people in check.  They question or challenge things. Always thinking of ways to improve an idea or way of doing things. You’re more of a control freak & definitely a planner.

ORANGE on the other hand tends to be more free spirited, social, more impulsive and enjoy entertainment. Perhaps more of the party type people.

I found a great FREE Quiz to find out what color you are.  There are many other tests you can take but I really enjoyed this one I found by Carolyn Kalil, MA, JCTC, counselor, speaker, and author. From her bio it read that she attended the first True Colors Certification Training in 1988 presented by Don Lowry, creator of True Colors and Sue Lynn, the MBTI President.  Here’s her website http://www.truecolorscareer.com

Here are my results…..

Yvette,  Thanks for this info.  I have taken this test before when I used to work with VA Tech's 4-H Leadership program and I loved taking the test with kids.  I have never known where to find it and now here it is!!! Thanks - I plan to take again but before I was an Orange - which was ok but my family were all greens!

Thanks!

I think I am a mix of blue and green.  I know that studies have found that blue and green are soothing colors.  I hope that I am able to sooth my sellers for the next few years.

It's a Good Life!

Kathy- This is great in understanding our family. However no matter what color they are they need to bend towards MY color beliefs. (yeah right)  - Wishful thinking.

Roy - Thanks for stopping by & let me know if you take the test.

Fran - It's especially useful in our business. Obviously we're not going to ask every buyer or seller to take a personality test but if we understand how to distinguish different personality characteristics then we as their representative will know how to conduct business the way they like it.

Yvette, thank you for the test. I ended up Green like you. There are so many facets to any personality that it's hard to put in any one category.

Lara - You're absolutely right. Myself being green, I would have a hard time going into business with a Gold because every minute of their lives tend to be planned & calculated. I like a little spontaneity in my life. I love Gold though!

Roy - Orange is GOOD. All the colors are good & unique in their own way. I'm not surprised you're Orange with your hilarious jokes on your blogs. Thanks for taking the test.

It will be interesting to see if there's a pattern with us in the biz. Even though we're all so different, there has to be a common ground that brings us here!
PS. I'm a strong GREEN.

Hey Yvette,

I loved this post! I think we tend to evolve and therefore go from color spectrum to another. I think a few years back I was a Gold. I just took the test now and know I'm a Blue. Wow! But I'm only a few degrees from Green and Gold. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.
