Personality Interpretations
By:
The letter with the greatest total reflects your natural personality. The number of responses from multiple columns suggests the amount of blend your personality represents. You have only one basic personality, but you may be a strong blend (behaviorally) of two personalities, depending on your responses. However, your motive (not your behavior) determines your primary personality.
Mixed Colors
The most difficult color combination is read and blue. If you are strong in both categories, you will often find yourself stepping on someone’s toes to get a task completed (Red), but feeling guilty afterward for making that person unhappy (Blue).
Red and Blue. The most difficult color combination is red and blue. If you are strong in both categories, you will often find yourself stepping on someone’s toes to get a task completed (Red), but feeling guilty afterward for making that person unhappy (Blue).
Red and White. Red-White combos are difficult to read because they can be aggressive and determined one minute (Red), then quietly passive the next (White). If you fit this category, your guiding motive is power or peace rather than intimacy, which spares you the intense struggle of the Red-Blue combination. You are likely to be misunderstood because your behavior is inconsistent, and you don’t easily allow others to figure you out.
Red and Yellow. If you’re a Red-Yellow, you are a natural leader and find yourself in a comfortable blend. The Red dynamically directs your life, while the Yellow charismatically invites others to enjoy your friendship.
Blue and White. If you’re a Blue-White combo, you are comfortable. You express yourself softly and sincerely. You personality is easy to read. People find you determined, yet flexible. You are someone with whom almost anyone can get along.
Blue and Yellow. Blue-Yellows are fun to tease. The can be footloose and carefree one minute then suddenly turn very serious the next. They may pack the neighborhood kids in the van and race to the beach for a day of sun and fun. But once there, they’ll start to worry about all the things they should be doing at home.
If White and Yellow are your two strong colors, you possess the best people skills of all the personalities. You are relaxed and usually take the path of least resistance.
