What colour are you?
Our personalities can be divided into colours. Each colour has particular traits, and it is important for you to understand these traits. Not only will it
help you to psychologically understand the person better, but it will aid how you interact with them. If you know how to get the best out of a person,
you will see great results, and better still if you recognise what colour YOU are, you are able to advise people how to get the best out of you, your
likes and dislikes, your strengths and your weaknesses.

RED personality traits


They are strong leaders, fast paced thinkers, risk takers, purposeful, drivers, strong-willed, less patient, obvious energy, formal overtly competitive,
rational. You may recognise many of the qualities of the REDS are in many leaders as they take ownership, need to be fast paced in their thinking,
take risks and be purposeful and confident with it.

Things REDs don't like


Don't waffle - remember, they are less patient and whatever you do, don't be vague or ramble on. They value time, so again don't waste their time,
don't get too personal as REDS just like to stick to business, don't stray from purpose, these personality types are focused in their thinking, and
don't ask irrelevant questions, they get impatient and it does not fit in with their rational thinking patterns. Lastly don't try to take control, REDS are
natural leaders and like to feel they are in control.

How to interact with a RED Personality


Do get to business quickly, when interacting with a RED be succinct and precise, give them facts, and avoid the detail, talk to them about results
and outcomes, they need to hear this to make quick decisions. Use their time efficiently, they are fast paced thinkers and tend to move quickly in
their thoughts, great people to bounce ideas off, be confident when you talk to a red.

YELLOW personality traits


YELLOWS are the life and soul of the party, they are sociable, expressive, very imaginative and enthusiastic with it. YELLOWS are very informal,
very optimistic and animated. Their imaginations can sometimes run away with them as they are very fast paced thinkers. YELLOWS are very
relationship focused and are visionaries with obvious high energy.

Things YELLOWs don't like


YELLOWS don't like it when you suppress their opinions or get into intricate details. They are social animals and don't like it when you are too
impersonal, business-like or task orientated, you need to weave this into the conversation. Don't try and inhibit their creativity, or appear aloof or
detached.
How to interact with a YELLOW personality
Key to interacting with a YELLOW is to socialise before mentioning any business. To get into their good books talk about options and other people.
Be enthusiastic and energetic when conveying your ideas over to them and be fast paced in delivering them. Offer your ideas and importantly use
humour when doing so being sociable and acknowledge their input.

BLUE personality traits


BLUES are deep thinkers, analytical in nature, very detail focused and formal in their thinking. They can come across as being aloof, but are
deliberate in their approach and systematic, precise and pays attention to detail. They like things in their place, and are very organised with good
time management skills. They are sticklers for time and are capable of coming to their own conclusions without having examples of others pushed
at them. They take their time in their thinking and are much slower paced than the reds or yellows. BLUES can come across as perfectionists due
to their logical, systematic, precise and deliberate approach to problems or solutions. BLUES like to have all the facts, and then logically put
together an answer that is suitable.

Things BLUEs don't like:


Don't come across as disorganised with a BLUE as they are very tidy. Try not to be late as they are sticklers for time keeping. Try not to be flippant
or pushy with them. They don't like vagueness so make sure you have lots of detail and be prepared to have lots of questions thrown at you. Don't
use testimonials or exaggerate claims as they do not fall for this, they are more facts and figures orientated. Don't be too emotional as they cannot
handle emotions.

How to interact with a BLUE personality


Be well prepared when dealing with a BLUE personality, get into detail as they love to get all the facts in their mind. Be factual, specific and logical
with your approach. Listening is important to a BLUE so listen carefully to what they have to say, as they verbalise their thoughts through
questioning thoroughly. Give them time to respond as they are slower paced thinkers. Be formal in your approach as they are very businesslike.

GREEN personality traits


Cool laid back relaxed and patient best describes the personality traits of the GREEN. They are easy to get along with and very informal in their
approach. They are social and focus on relationships so can come across as emotional. They are much slower paced in their thinking and are very
democratic people. They are very understanding, and agreeable. They say yes, but mean no? The green is the go between for the reds and
yellows who are much faster paced. They act as the facilitator to conflicts.

Things GREENs don't like


Don't be pushy or put them on a spot, GREENS absolutely hate this. Don't try and dominate the discussion or rush things and they do not like
when you decide for them so try to avoid this. Don't be abrupt, explain in full and do not make wild claims or demands. They can also tell if you are
insincere, so try not to be.

How to interact with a GREEN personality


Be friendly and show genuine interest in them, chat before going into business. It is important to develop trust first, be informal and non-
threatening. However, be alert for non-verbal signs of concern, remember they say yes but mean no, but their body language will allay this. If you
notice any non-verbal signs of concern, uncover their needs with open questions. Allow them to weigh things up for themselves.

Finally...
Know you have a synopsis of all the colours, they can be useful if you can work out who in your team is a particular colour, you will now know how
to get the best out of them and what to do not to get their backs up. We all have a mix of these colors in us, but one particular color may stand out
more than most, this is known as your dominant colour and is more your true personality.
