As a matter of fact I have done a very similar color-coded personality test at a corporate event.

After the test, we were even given blocks to keep at our desks so that people who interact with us knew whether we were 'blue' or 'yellow' and adapt their reactions accordingly.
I guess I should have just said I was an Aquarius or Capricorn or some such and it would have been just as scientifically accurate.
- rapnie 7y agoI also did this Insights Discovery with a bunch of colleagues. Two weeks beforehand we had to do an online multiple choice questionaire with about 20 questions. Based on this everyone received an elaborate report with their personality analyses. Strong points, weak points, etc. Very detailed. But I've got to say that everyone in our group - mostly rational devs - was positively surprised how accurate these analyses were.

- rapnie 7y agoHa ha, good find, thanks! Sure there is a lot of generalization in these reports, but still I found their description of my personality type quite spot-on and recognizable, and hence useful to me. (And I don't believe in astrology and the whole supernatural shebang :) PS The whole follow-up with team communication, organization impact etc. was not for me.
