I Am Yellow: Hear me talk

Each week at FIVE STAR we have the opportunity to chat with, and sometimes meet the awesome speakers we book. Last week we had an in-person experience with a new speaker that I thought was worth sharing. Scott Schwefel come into the office and analyzed our personality styles as he was using it as a way to show how we can better communicate in the office. Before he arrived we each answered a list of questions and from there our "color" was determined.  Here is how the colors break down in a nutshell:

Red: Firery--wants things done immediately
Yellow: Very Social, Friendly
Green: Cares about others, wants to help
Blue: Detail Oriented, analytical

I am EXTREMELY yellow and my secondary color is red.  The way my description came out was hilarious as it was so accurate! Here is just a small poriton of "how I interact with others." If you know me...you know this is correct!

Brittanny is very co-operative and articulate, communicating sympathy, concern and a willingness
to become involved. Her major goal is to create and maintain good feeling and harmony among
the people she relates to. Brittanny probably prefers more relaxed social interaction. Do not
assume this to be an indication that she is not serious about important issues. She prefers
communicating verbally rather than through the written word. She prefers a stimulating life of
co-operation and harmony.


She values harmonious human contacts and works well in jobs dealing with people.  Energetic, gregarious and sociable, her intuition. heightens her insight, vision, curiosity and desire for new ideas. Brittanny has a remarkable ability to get people to follow her lead. Her outgoing nature may lead her to misinterpret the significance of some issues.

So now what is the point of knowing what color you are? As cool as it is to read how accurate this little quiz came out that is not the only take-away. The best part of doing this activity with the FIVE STAR team, is taking the info we learned and applying it to how we work together. Knowing that one of marketing assistants is Blue and extremely detail orientied, I might need to adjust how we work together on some projects, just like she'll have to adjust to work with me as a yellow!

Pretty interesting stuff! Improving communication is important, but learning why and how to improve your communication with others helps that much more.

Oh and I can tell you without even having my husband take the test he is a Blue...like they say...opposites attract!
