Who are you, anyway?

Ever heard of Personality Assessments? Well,  I recently attended a half day workshop called Color Dimensions.

In a informal, fun setting, the participants discovered their 'Color' .

• Green (Inquiring) ~~ Knowledge is Key 
• Gold (Organized) ~~ Be Prepared 
• Blue (Authentic) ~~ I care 
• Orange (Resourceful) ~~ Seize the Day !!

sound funny? well, in discovering what your personalities 'color' is, you learn about your hidden talents, strengths, likes and dislikes. Did you know that your personality even reflects your style of parenting? We aren't totally all one 'color' either. We will be dominant in one, however,followed by a secondary color. Aspire to become a healthy balance of all the 'colors' .

Personality types actually complement one another. It would be a mighty boring world if we were all the same.
To understand and appreciate your innate strengths & values as well as those of others, you gain awareness of effective communication methods for the various personalities.
For instance, a Gold person is always on time. That is very important to them, so much so, that to be late for an appointment with a Gold, may put them off for the whole day ! Blue folks can have a tendency to 'feel' if something is right for them.
Green folks ask a lot of questions. If you have a green person as a customer for instance, don't be put off by how much information they need. It helps them make an informed choice.

And Orange folks just want to have fun ! They have a hard time staying tuned to one task to see it through. But hey- they have fun jumping from one project to the next ! Very spontaneous- life of the party.

In a nutshell, Blue and Orange are people oriented and Gold and Green are task / detail oriented. Without Gold's and Green's in this world-- nothing would get finished by us Blues and Oranges, trust me on that.

To understand yet, appreciate the differences is like bridge building. For instance, I am a Blue Personality.
To begin with, discovering who you are, lends itself to appreciate the other person. Utilizing this Universal Law of Allowing, listening becomes easier. Conflicts and competition to 'win a conversation' disappear.
Business flows with ease, parenting is smoother, and you can even recognize if the career you find yourself in is a fit or not.

..... have fun with an on line personality assessment !!!
Created by The Temperament Sorter, we are shown that our temperament is a set of inclinations that each of us is born with; it's a predisposition to certain attitudes and actions. The Temperament Sorter examines these innate facets of personality to arrive at an integrated picture of an individual. The Sorter then generates a COMPLIMENTARY customized report that focus on different perspectives of your temperament.

in fact a total of 4 categories are defined:
Artisans Orange
Guardians Gold
Rationals Green
Idealists Blue

I took the 5 minute assessment , and it confirmed for me that I am an Idealist

What is that?
Idealists value personal growth, authenticity, and integrity. They yearn to develop themselves fully as individuals and to facilitate growth in others.
I love to coach people for all the reasons given here !
When something resonates then you can be sure it is your Truth.
Recognize that when you love what you do, it will be effortless for you.
