My Orange Personality!!!

            I recently participated in a personality training at work; it is supposed to help us work better together, communicate, and live together!

            I was an orange: spontaneous, fun, lively, impromptu.  Behavior: acts boldly and is direct, takes risks (esp. sports), seeks adventure (duh!), wants “hands-on”activities, has high expectations.  I think this describes me very well!  I have a few traits from other colors; green: inventive, questions and explores ideas, works independently, intellect; glue: lead by the heart, emotional, loving, caring, creativity and craftiness, contagiously enthusiastic, expresses feelings, encourages others; gold: responsible and dependable (I’m not very gold; golds are structured and serious and planned, everything that I am Not).  As you can imagine, I had a primary color of orange, and a tied secondary b/w blue and green.  Gold was a loosing 3^rd; with the bare minimum number of points; it receives the same number of points simply because it is diagnosed in the spectrum; lol.  I have just enough gold to get along in a gold society; the one in which we live.  We are all, all 3 of these colors, just in varying amounts and in different situations.  For example, I am gold when I have to get work done or present it to my boss.

            Examples of my orange personality: my obsession for parkour, vibram 5 fingers, rock climbing, my job, adventure, impromptu road trips, spontaneous “plans,” crazy purchases, my trampoline, my bouncy ball chair, my purple hair, my unique clothing style, my love of crafts, skateboarding, my health prowess, need I go on?

            This result actually makes it all make sense.  I no longer feel guilty about my wild weekends to counterbalance my stressful and gold weekdays working hard!  It makes perfect sense.  It is how I balance straining myself and being myself.  It really helps me better understand myself.  I hope it helps you better understand me.

Let me know if you would like to know more about the colors of our varying personalities.
