What Colour Are You? Blue, Gold, Green, or Orange?

Geoff took this interesting course about personality types and how each of these personality types like to be dealt with in social interactions. Geoff is a Blue-Green personality which is weird because they are opposites. My dominant personality colour is Gold but I could be a Blue-Orange tie on my second colour. So what colours are you?

Blue sees itself as: warm, caring, compassionate, romantic, spiritual, creative, idealistic, people person, willing to work tirelessly for a cause, unselfish, empathetic, affirming, expressive, caretaker, promoting growth and well being, social interaction experts, able to see need for exceptions, conscious of past relations, people pleaser, sympathetic, great communicator, trusting, wants harmony (i.e. Blue is a typical care-giver)

Others can see Blue as: over emotional, bleeding heart, mushy, other-worldly, flaky, unrealistic, too tender-hearted, easily duped, too touchy-feely, pathetic, too nice, naive, too trusting, smothering, teaching non-essentials, slick, manipulative, ignores policy, creates chaos, stuck in lives past, groveling, fawning, talks too much, obscures issues, whiny
