Interpreting the colors, unveiling personalities

As previously mentioned in this blog, psychologists have devised tests by which different people’s personalities may be compartmentalized into at least four categories. One such example is Marc Accetta’s personality test, which assigns a color for each personality group: blue, green, red, and yellow.

According to the Accetta’s personality test, each color group typifies a unique temperament described as follows:

• Blue. Fun-loving, bright, spontaneous, and generally jovial, ‘blue’ people are the type that “lives for the moment.” They are extremely sociable and outgoing and like to be out in the sun. They prefer to follow strong leaderships and are willing to cooperate as long as they get treated nicely. On the downside, they tend to be forgetful and are usually not mindful of their time. Due to their spontaneity, they are impulsive buyers and as a result, spend their money freely. People under this category are also travelers and adventurers

• Green. People in this category are rational and calculated thinkers. They try to research exhaustively before deciding on something and refrain from making rash decisions. They are natural cynics and are usually skeptical of other people’s motives; probably because they do not trust their intuition as much as established facts. As a result, they are very realistic and they possess a proclivity toward prejudging people. They are also systematic and pedantic, sometimes necessitating guidelines by which they can abide to. They are also notorious for being emotionally detached.

• Red. Confident, challenge-oriented, competitive—these are probably the three most appropriate adjectives to describe ‘red’ individuals. They tend to hang out with fellow achievers, despite their many insecurities and their strong desire for approval. They are also known for being good decision-makers. On the other hand, they can be short with people and prefer to be in the VIP section. This does not make them particularly good team players.

• Yellow. Easily the most personable among the four types, ‘yellow’ types are extremely loyal and are very good team players. They value honesty and integrity and are very family-oriented. This is largely the reason why they prefer to follow ethical leaders. They love all forms of life and are very environmentally conscious, thus making them great outdoorspeople. They try to avoid conflicts and confrontations as much as possible and usually take on the role of a peacemaker in dire situations. They love to support charities and other worthy causes, thus impelling them to dislike greedy and materialistic people. They are also creative, expressive, and unpretentious.
