Personal Secondary Style

> Your Personal Style as a CORE BLUE with YELLOW SECONDARY


You are a Core BLUE with Secondary YELLOW, and are driven from a strong emotional orientation. You enjoy life with an artistic flare and are prone to taking “side trips” in order to appreciate more fully what others miss and pass by without having noticed. Your greatest strength can be your greatest limitation—emotion. For you, life is not just about completing tasks, although you are very committed and able to complete assignments consistently. You see life as more about meaning and people than mere task completion. For example, at work you enjoy the camaraderie involved in task completion much more than simply doing your work. You seek team involvement.

People like you and feel drawn to open up to you emotionally. You take the time to share yourself and hear their story. You are highly competent at doing quality projects and appreciate when others can understand the high caliber of your work. Life is best experienced in your heart rather than your mind. If you can’t feel the interaction, it has much less magic for you. You are highly intuitive and able to sense another’s agenda when you engage them. You often read people on numerous (and deeper) levels, but your engaging style appears more superficial than it truly is.

While emotion is your greatest strength, it is also your greatest limitation. You see life through such emotional eyes, that when you are hurt or fear-based you become paralyzed. You lack an internal rational perspective and must seek peers who can “right your ship” once it has capsized in the storm of relationships. You struggle to let go of negative feelings once they have lodged inside you and can become emotionally detached or withdrawn, which sends a completely different message from who you truly are and who you want to be.

The vast diversity of your personality brings tremendous breadth to what you are able to create and accomplish. You have a wide “wing span” and see life from a broad range of perspectives. On the other hand, you can set yourself up for internal struggles with your internal diversity. Your blended personality could be referred to as “schizophrenic” because of your vast variety of emotional reactions. You may take on a project with a YELLOW flare only to move quickly into a dark BLUE mode when you realize that you are unable to complete the assignment when you truly see what it entails. You may then flip into YELLOW again with great enthusiasm for what you are being asked to do and use your BLUE tenacity to complete the work. It is a highly volatile roller coaster ride, which is hard enough for you to understand, let alone those around you. Once you learn to work, you are very different and can successfully smooth out the ride for yourself and others. You have to be kind with yourself and learn how to look at your life challenges from a logical perspective. Typically you seek out WHITE personalities for their clarity and then beat them up when they don’t feel your emotional dilemma.

You often open up to others rather quickly only to become frustrated when they judge you or refuse to share themselves. You need people and yet can become very irritated with them when they don’t perform as you deem appropriate that you “write them off.” Remember that people may find your changing emotions difficult to accept. They may distrust you because they don’t always know how you are going to react. Commit to living life optimistically but keep your wonderful sense of appreciation for doing things with quality and enjoying deep relationships. You can enjoy life from a uniquely intimate perspective as long as you select the best traits from your blended personality.
