What color is your personality?

Cony&Ben · August 2012

I thought this might be fun. My sister recently went to a leadership retreat and they did some activities based on personality types. In what order would you rank the colors for yourself? How about your spouse? (I also have a short quiz in the form of a spreadsheet if anyone wants it.)

I'm strongly gold, a decent amount blue, slightly less green, and almost not at all orange. Ben is strongly gold and a little green, blue, and orange.

Here are the descriptions:

Orange

I see myself as flexible, easygoing, playful, clever, open to change, having many interests, courageous, assertive, and independent.
I enjoy freedom and independence.
In relationships, I thrive on physical contact and enjoy people who share my interests.
As a child, I learned better by doing and experiencing rather than listening and reading.

Gold

I see myself as consistent, goal-oriented, traditional, realistic, prepared, dependable, loyal, responsible, and having leadership ability.
I believe that work comes before play.
In relationships, I am serious and tend to have traditional, conservative views of love and marriage.
As a child, I understood and respected authority and wanted to follow the rules.

Green

I see myself as confident, mentally strong, logical, inventive, having high expectations, knowledgeable, and enjoy my own company.
For me, work is play.
I am uneasy when my emotions get the best of me and want to establish relationships that allow me to focus my energy on my career.
As a child, I constantly had questions & found it necessary to respect a teacher before I could learn from them.

Blue

I see myself as compassionate, idealistic, affectionate, empathetic, caring, nuturing, a communicator, and valuing feelings.
I flourish with encouragement rather than competition.
In relationships, I seek harmony, warmth, and romance.
As a child, I was imaginative and creative.

We did this at work a couple of months ago. My first color was gold but that was almost tied with blue. It was followed by green and orange. Reading the descriptions above I would have put orange before green, but the way they explained it to us - Orange are the people who love attention and the spotlight. That is so totally not me.
