True Colors Reflection

True Colors is a short, simple questionnaire that provides an overview of what personality type you have. Within this scholars group we participated in the True Colors exercise to determine our individual color. My personal results consited of a first place with orange and one point behind in second place was blue. The orange stood for the active, open-minded, and adventurous portion of my personality. Meanwhile the blue showcased the more compassionate, communicative, and authentic side of me. I would agree with my results and say that orange and blue together perfectly describes my empathetic yet fun personality. Afterwards, we worked with others who had our same color and those with varying colors. This exercise demonstrated that while we each possess all the different characteristics everyone has varying levels. Amongst the 4 colors, though they differ, they are all needed to sustain a healthy environment as well as relationships. For example the orange personalities were the more outgoing or spontaneous type, while the gold personalities were conservative and organized. Though orange and gold may seem like they would clash, its actually the opposite. In fact they rely on one another to balance out their typical tendencies. Overall it opened our eyes to see how a team needs a variety of of personalities in order to be successful. I will carry this information and knowledge throughout my life as well as apply it at least once everyday through small group conversations, class work, and everyday scenarios, etc.
