The { Color } code

Last night was our Multi-stake YSA fireside for the month, yes it was a week early, and yes i ACTUALLY went! haha as we all know that im way over the fireside thing. But in this case i am glad i decided to go. We were lucky enough to Elder Hartman talk do the fireside. He and his wife are now serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints here in South Africa

He is the author or rather founder of the Color Code : "The Color Code is the most revolutionary and accurate measurement of your personality. Once you have learned the Color Code is you will never see your self or others the same again! The Color Code is your best bet for understanding how to make sense of life's relationship puzzles."

As you can see i took alot of notes :)

But for those of you who cannot see my notes, here is a bit of the 4 different Color Personalities, read through it, and you will be quite surprised at how accurate it is, and which color you fall under...

Red - are motivated by POWER. They seek productivity and need to look good to others. Simply stated, REDS want their own way. They like to be in the driver's seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. REDS value whatever gets them ahead in life, whether it be at work, school, or in their personal relationships. What REDS value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist being forced to do anything that doesn't interest them. REDS like to be right. They value approval from others for their intelligence and solution based, pragmatic style. They want to be respected even more than they want to be loved. They appreciate admiration for their logical, practical minds. REDS are confident, proactive, visionary, and can be arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. When you deal with a RED, be precise, factual, direct and show no fear.

Blue - are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek opportunities to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and will give freely of themselves in order to nurture others' lives. BLUES have distinct preferences and are the most controlling personality. Their code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation as well as remembering special life events (eg. birthdays, anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, analytical, and can be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are like "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

White - are motivated by PEACE. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. (to them, feeling good is more important than being good) They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, WHITES are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battles.WHITES need their "alone time" and refuse to be controlled by others. They want to do things their own way and in their own time. They ask little of others and resent others demanding much of them. WHITES are much stronger than people perceive, but are not often seen for their strength because they don't easily reveal their feelings. WHITES are even-tempered, diplomatic and the voice of reason, and can be indecisive, unexpressive, and silently stubborn. When you deal with a WHITE, be kind, accept and support their individuality, and look for non-verbal clues to their feelings.

Yellow - are motivated by FUN. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they're hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. YELLOWS need to be adored and praised. While YELLOWS are carefree, they are quite sensitive and highly alert to others' agendas to control them. YELLOWS typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart. YELLOWS need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. YELLOWS are happy, inclusive, engaging of others and crave adventure. Easily distracted, they can never sit still for long. They embrace each day in the present tense and choose people who, like themselves, enjoy a curious nature. YELLOWS are charismatic, spontaneous, positive, and can be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When you deal with a YELLOW, take a positive, upbeat approach and promote light-hearted, creative and fun interactions.

So which colors are you? Im a mix of blue and white....:)
