I'm Blue...& Orange

Back during new teacher orientation they had us take a little quiz to see what our personality color was.  It's by True Colors International if you're interested.

So first you go through & you look at these cards & put them in order of which one seems most like you to the least based on the pictures from each card.  Then, you flip them over & read about them.  You can then rearrange them to see which one fits you the most.

Once you have them in the order that makes you happy you score them.  4 is the one most like you & 1 is the least like you.  You write those numbers under the card color in the book.  There are then 5 lines that each contain 4 sets of 3 words.  You rank those 4-1 on which set seems most like you to which one seems the least like you.

Once you finish that you total them up & get your score.  I got Blue - Are we in agreement (20), Orange - Where's the action (18), Gold - What's the plan (13), & Green - Why (9)

Because Blue & Orange were so close I consider them both to be my personality & therefore will share with you what that says about me!

  2. I love personality quiz thingies that are possibly accurate. I wish I didn't have to pay $35 to know more about me or I would totally take that test.
    I agree with Kerry there are definitely some things here that I'd agree with.
