Whenever we are shown a photograph that includes our picture, we typically look first at ourselves. Then, once we have located ourselves in the picture, we look at the others with whom we were photographed.
Like with a photograph, this tendency to look at yourself first will occur as you read your personal report. As you discover more about yourself, you will then find it intriguing to see how "photogenic" others are who play significant roles in your life. You won't be able to resist asking about your peers, boss, spouse, or children. The following is a very brief synopsis of what they may look like so that you are better able to find them in the photograph of your life.
REDS (Motive: POWER)REDS are motivated by POWER. They seek productivity and need to look good to others. Simply stated, REDS want their own way. They like to be in the driver’s seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. REDS value whatever gets them ahead in life, whether it be at work, school, or in their personal relationships. What REDS value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist being forced to do anything that doesn’t interest them.
REDS like to be right. They value approval from others for their intelligence and solution-based, pragmatic style. They want to be respected even more than they want to be loved. They appreciate admiration for their logical, practical minds. REDS are confident, proactive, visionary, and can be arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. When you deal with a RED, be precise, factual, direct, and show no fear.
BLUES (Motive: INTIMACY)BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek opportunities to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to becomes their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and will give freely of themselves in order to nurture others’ lives.
BLUES have distinct preferences and are the most controlling personality. Their code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation as well as remembering special life events (e.g., birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, analytical, and can be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are like “sainted pit-bulls” who never let go of something or someone once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.
WHITES (Motive: PEACE)WHITES are motivated by PEACE. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. (To them, feeling good is more important than being good.) They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, WHITES are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle.
WHITES need their “alone time” and refuse to be controlled by others. WHITES want to do things their own way and in their own time. They ask little of others and resent others demanding much of them. WHITES are much stronger than people perceive, but are not often seen for their strength because they don’t easily reveal their feelings. WHITES are even-tempered, diplomatic, and the voice of reason, and can be indecisive, unexpressive, and silently stubborn. When you deal with a WHITE, be kind, accept and support their individuality, and look for non-verbal clues to their feelings.
YELLOWS (Motive: FUN)YELLOWS are motivated by FUN. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they’re hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. YELLOWS need to be adored and praised. While YELLOWS are carefree, they are quite sensitive and highly alert to others’ agendas to control them. YELLOWS typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart.
YELLOWS need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. YELLOWS are happy, inclusive, engaging of others, and crave adventure. Easily distracted, they can never sit still for long. They embrace each day in the present tense and choose people who, like themselves, enjoy a curious nature. YELLOWS are charismatic, spontaneous, positive, and can be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When you deal with a YELLOW, take a positive, upbeat approach and promote light-hearted, creative, and fun interactions.
