What are the Colors
At ColorWorks, we use colors to differentiate between the 16 personality type combinations. Your first and second colors, along with your interaction style, represent the three dimensions of your personality. This three-dimensional approach deepens your understanding of the qualities associated with each personality type, including their distinct communication styles, values, needs, stressors, and motivators.
Interaction Styles
Your interaction style determines how you process information and recharge mentally. As you read these descriptions, reflect on your overall self rather than just your behaviors in specific situations—think about how you are at work, home, with friends, and on vacation. Identify which style resonates most with you, and remember that coping mechanisms can sometimes mask your true interaction style. It's also important to recognize that you may transition along this dimension throughout your life or find yourself in the middle, identifying as an ambivert.
Introvert
Extrovert
I need time to process my thoughts and feelings before I can talk about them and I need a calm, quiet space to recharge. Too much time spent in noisy, busy environments can be stressful and exhausting for me. I can act outgoing, but I feel drained afterward.
I need to process what I am thinking and feeling out loud and I am re-energized when I spend time with other people. Too much quiet time or too much time spent alone can be stressful and exhausting for me. I can act reserved, but it eventually wears me out.
Dreamer VS Realist
In the context of Myers-Briggs, the terms "dreamer" and "realist" refer to different ways people perceive their environment and approach decision-making. Dreamers are intuitive, creative, and future-focused, enjoying the exploration of new possibilities and ideas, though they may overlook practical details. In contrast, realists are focused on the present and prefer concrete information and practical approaches, which helps them remain efficient but can limit their vision for the future. You will pick one color from each side of the purple line to represent your first and second color type.
