At a previous employer we did a similar training program called True Colors, to understand how to communicate differently based on personality types. It broke down personality styles as follows: Green - Intellectual; prefers less communication generally Blue - Emotional; likes small talk and connecting with people Orange - Spontaneous, life of the party, hates structure/rules Gold - Analytical, needs order, boundaries and structure, makes lists for everything Generally you have one dominant color, and some mix of the other three as less important factors in your personality. Most software engineers tend to be Green, HR people are Blue, CEO's are Orange (outgoing, rally people around them) etc. I actually found it to be tremendously enlightening; I can usually bucket people I know into one of the four colors pretty easily. For example my wife is a Gold; she loves literally creating lists and checking off things when she's done, and she can't stand things being out of order. Edited for formatting
