More on the Color Code...

While I know these things about myself (I have the book), some of them still sting a little bit to hear. Ah well.

Congratulations, you are a blue.

Blues (Motive: Intimacy)
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.

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.


Go here if you want to take a limited version of the test.

There's also a different version here that shows you your percentages (Red-Assertive, Blue-Compassionate, Yellow-Fun Loving, White-Peace Loving). On this site, I scored 0 red, 34 blue, 9 white & 1 yellow. Humph. I guess I've gotten more peace-loving as I've aged! :) And if you click on the individual colors at the bottom, it'll give you the strengths & weaknesses of each color. Very interesting.

P.S. I remain firmly convinced that every single member of my immediate family is primarily a blue. While we've all grown & changed over the years (thereby adding or changing secondary colors), I think we're all blues. And I married a blue. (I'll have to get him to take this test & see what he turns out as. It'd be interesting to see.)

P.P.S. My boss is a red. This could explain why a lot of us have a difficult time with her...she thinks in terms of results, numbers - not explanations, communication, or relationship-building. Hmm...

I'm blue too! I haven't done that test for years. . . like since high school. I was yellow back then, but I think that was because I wanted to be that way more than I actually was. But I just did it again and I'm definitely blue. How funny!
