Blue....

Today in my writing class we took the color personality test. Much to my surprise I was not red, I was not yellow, but BLUE! Who'd a thunk?! I've always taken myself for a red/yellow person, but I guess I'm mostly blue with a dash of yellow. Here's how my personality was described, read as much or as little as you please, but let me know, Does this sound like yours truly?! :)

Blues are Motivated by Altruism

Blues love to do nice things for others. They look of opportunities to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. Selflessness rather then selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Many blues are uncomfortable doing things solely for themselves. They hold doors open for people, offer rides when someone's car breaks down, contribute to charities, even devote their entire lives to helping others.

Blues Seek Intimacy

More then anything else, blues want to love and be loved. A true blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Once considered solely a female characteristic, this nurturing is more accurately understood as a blue personality trait.

Blues Crave Being Understood

Blues are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. They are notorious for revealing their inadequacies, because they value being known and understood so much. In the eyes of a blue, being vulnerable is a small price to pay for the chance to connect emotionally. Blues may have their hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love.

Blues Need to Be Remembered and Appreciated

With blues, a simple pat on the back will not suffice. Blues expend such great effort in making the world a better place that sometimes they need to be told how wonderful they are. They need to be thanked and specifically remembered for their good deeds. they need sincere gratitude. They delight in being remembered on birthdays and other special days, especially if the remembrance is personal- a homemade anniversary card, a welcome home part, a special day that isn't on the calendar. Blues need tender loving care.

Blues are Directed by a Strong Moral Conscience

Blues are motivated to behave in a proper, appropriate manner. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgments, even their leisure time. Blues enjoy being "good". Of all the personality colors, blues come equipped with the strongest sense of integrity. A blue would rather lose than cheat. Blues are trustworthy. Ethically, blues are the people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.
