The COLOUR CODE - A New Way to See Yourself, Your Relationships, and Life by Taylor Hartman.

Staying at home for a long period of time doing nothing can be boring. To kill time, I sometimes read. I found the COLOUR CODE somewhat interesting and was analysing myself.

I did the test online and found that my basic colour is RED but after doing the test in the book, I found that my basic colour is actually BLUE but my secondary colour is RED. I am a very strong BLUE and RED (very close score between the two).

A paragraph from the book I found very true

"The most difficult colour combination within one individual is the mixture of RED and BLUE. If you are strong in both categories, you will often find yourself stepping on someone's toes to get a tast completed (Red), but feeling guilty afterward for making that person unhappy (Blue)."


Just so that you get to know me better, here are the qualities of the BLUES and REDS:

BLUES: THE DO-GOODERS

Emotional and Admired
Committed and Loyal
Perfectionist
Highly Demanding
Self-disciplined and Stable
Self-sacrificing and Nurturing
Unforgiving and resentful
Worried and Guilty
Appropriate and Sincere
Purposeful and Dedicated
Moody and Complex
Self-righteous and Insecure


RED: THE POWER WIELDERS

Active and Productive
Visionary
Insensitive and selfish
"King of the Jungle"
Demanding and Critical
Insecure
Must be Right
Competitive and Bold
Tenacious and Taxing
Assertive and Determined
Disagreeable
Resourceful and Self-reliant
Relentless and Impatient
Calculating and manipulative
Lact Intimacy Orientation

"Blues with strong Red secondary
experience the most difficult internal struggles.
They are also typically
the most resourceful of personalities"

How very interesting yet true. :) What colour are you?
