The Color Code

I've been really into personality tests and typologies lately. So, here, the first in a series of blog posts on personality.

The Color Code is something that my husband actually introduced me to back when we were still dating. I never had the opportunity to take an actual test, however, until last night. So, here were my results:

Basic Analysis

Congratulations, you are a white.

white:	42.97%
blue:	??? %
yellow:	??? %
red:	??? %

Whites (Motive: Peace)

whites are motivated by Peace. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. To them, feeling good is more important than being good. They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, whites are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle.

/End Quoted Segment

It was kind of a difficult test to take, since a lot of the descriptive words I had to choose between really didn't seem all that mutually exclusive to me. But, I suppose my end result still came out somewhat accurate. I am a little curious what my other perscentages were, but this site doesn't give those unless you upgrade, and I didn't care to upgrade.

Red was the smallest percentage, I'm sure. Between blue and yellow, since all the questions were supposed to be answered according to how I was as a child, I am guessing blue must've come in second; though if it were based on me now, I'd probably be more yellow, or else pretty evenly split between blue and yellow.

the following Core Motive descriptions are from the above-linked web site:

The Color Code introduces the following four personality "Colors," or driving Core Motives:

• RED (Motive: POWER)—These are the power wielders. Power: the ability to move from point A to point B and get things done, is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of vision and leadership and generally are responsible, decisive, proactive and assertive. 

• BLUE (Motive: INTIMACY)—These are the do-gooders. Intimacy: connecting, creating quality relationships and having purpose, is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of quality and service and are generally loyal, sincere, and thoughtful.

• WHITE (Motive: PEACE)—These are the peacekeepers. Peace: the ability to stay calm and balanced even in the midst of conflict, is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of clarity and tolerance and are generally kind, adaptable, and good-listeners.

• YELLOW (Motive: Fun)—These are the fun lovers. Fun: the joy of living life “in the moment”, is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of enthusiasm and optimism and are generally charismatic, spontaneous, and sociable.
