My wife and I have such a wonderful marriage. I always know what she is thinking, because she always tell me. She always knows what I'm thinking, because she tells me that too. Communication is great
Me Im combination for some certain matters I'm straight forward and transparent. For some certain matter I don't want to disclose to anyone n want to do my own n unpredictable. I don't share where I'm, what in doing, when..
True. I feel like I'm closer to a green/blue in normal circumstances, but if I'm playing a game with my young kids, I can easily be a red. But that doesn't change the fact I'm not naturally a red.
I did this personality test at work place. I’m 3 colours yellow, blue & green. Video mentions that about 5% of population is one colour, 85% is 2 colours and 15% is 3 colours. I was really amazed how well I was narrowed down by 30 or so questions
Pay attention to what the other person is saying, and show genuine interest in their perspective. By understanding their needs and concerns, you can tailor your communication to better align with their interests, increasing the likelihood of getting what you want.
It’s called Active listening . There’s a book called “ Listening the forgotten skill - second edition by Madelyn Burley-Allen” . It points out quickly what kind of listener u are and help you get better at listening and also become a better and more successful person
I love being yellow..my daughter is green. I love her so much. She quietly gets stuff done. I have big ideas I never complete. She brings a bit of calmness & wisdom to my world. I happily make decisions when she wants to avoid things...I seek her advice often when I need to read a situation better. I think she is partially psychic. I am ao proud of her.
The "psychic" part is the deep sense of self. She can know what's hers and what's not, what's foreign and what's not, etc. But that also makes her more sensitive than others.
I was part of a management course this year where we were categorised into our colours! This video has condensed it all into 20 minutes 👌 sending it to my boss
I find this information to be an immediate extrapolation from MBTI personality profiles. I've no knowledge to your management profile, but encourage you to take interest there and look for the cross referential information. This is all true, and playing the interests of an individual will always instill a vibrant response. People are just people. I don't often pidgeon hole a person. Actually, never. Individuals materialize themselves in the firmament over time as they manifest decision making processes. Seriously, this color scheme tactic is a watercolor draft of MBTI. Give time to the consideration, you'll see the laterals, and be better for it.
Yeah, the only thing is blue isn't quite melancholic enough. It's having aspects of phlegmatic and sanguine portrayed onto it. A full melancholic might be more indigo.
@@justpeachy4393 As I am primarily melancholy- I'm blue (Da ba dee da ba di). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pVLmZMjxfjw.html Choleric is my secondary.
Yes, this seems to be a remix of the four humors. Alot of the Meyers Briggs themed content is too. Yellow is Sanguine / XSXP ; Blue is Phlegmatic / XNTX ; Red is Choleric / EXXJ ; Green is Melancholic / IXFX - these don't map neatly onto Meyers Briggs (or the four humors for that matter) but the video also said that "only 5% of people are only one type" which means you could easily categorize people as one type of the four humors or MBTI and then turn around and also categorize them into multiple colors of this.
Although over simplified there is too much truth to discount it. Excellently presented! The examples are really helpful and spot on. Quality presentation in all senses. Thanks
This is a long time well known behavioural analysis method called DISC. It is used in big corporations, in leadership, in sales departments and in life coaching. It helps identify communication and behavioural styles so that you can adapt yourself to create rapport. This book mentions the four behaviour styles with colours instead of letters as the called “Insights” methods does (D is red, I is yellow, S is green and C is blue). Nothing new. I am a DISC behavioural certified analyst. I know it and use it. It works even if it looks simple and it shouldn’t be trivialised as if we can just identify a person for few behaviours. We all have a bit of the four “colours”. I think the title is very disrespectful
Individuals will have a dominant personality type, but they’ll also have varying percentages of the other three which will invalidate some of the concrete assertions in this summary. There are many more than 4 types of people/personalities/thought approaches. At best, this is a great way to get people to understand that we don’t all think alike, and they should not judge others by “how I would do X”.
It’s a great start to understanding the work place. Respecting that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. A great manager quickly identifies this and delegates tasks to individuals strengths, while overseeing communication and progress. I’m a green for sure with a bit of blue. It would be great to see a video on what jobs suit different colours best please 😊
I love the comments. Many of you are noting we have a range of each of these characteristics. This is actually useful because we tend have at least some of the characteristics that dominate others. This allows us to have some empathy for different people. I am mostly a green then blue with very little of the red or yellow (the fact I'm typing this is a give away). I find red and yellow leaning people harder to work with; but they are also very useful to me. Reds and yellows enjoy the things I find uncomfortable. Just like my green and blue joys are frustrating to them. This means we benefit from having people who can dominate each category when dealing with projects.
So true. I relate to yellow's enthusiasm, coming up with ideas but never finishing things, and wanting everyone around me to have fun. Before they even got to the details of the party, I was already thinking that if it was me with a bunch of friends, I'd already be thinking up a million games & activities we could do at the party, haha. But nothing else lands. Green is definitely my dominant. Got a little red and blue streak too. When they step up together, I actually manage to get important tasks done quickly and accurately. Wish that part of me would surface a bit more, haha.
Can you please make an video[ specifically on small talk.] "How to build small talk mind map? Don't worry about what to say and build the ability to ask questions without feeling what to ask." After taking a lot of courses I came to realize that problem is specifically small talk. A general mind map of small talk great communicators follow. Will be very greatful.
You are blue, don't you? Small talk is speaking about things people are comfortable to speak about. For instance, reds like to speak about their achievements. Yellows like to speak about their future plans. Greens - they might like to speak about their family, children, cooking, gardening, a hobby like knitting or crochet.... But often, greens just like to listen to for example the enthusiastic ideas of a yellow. What greens don't like is when you put pressure on them when would you solve that problem? Or ask very personal questions like do you want to have more kids? Greens are good listeners so they would rather listen to your analysis of a problem just don't ask them uncomfortable questions.
Another thing I experienced when conversing with blues: they ask me a thousand questions about a situation, or problem I have and they are going to give me advice about what they think I should do. As a green, I absolutely hate this. Because I am slower and like to go at my own pace and don't like to be pressured and because I seek security, it's difficult for me to make decisions when the outcome seems risky. I would close up after repeated pressure why I didn't solve that thing in my life already. So, if you want to get along with a green, I think maybe it's better if you speak about different things not their problem because we want to just vent, just someone listening and giving us time and space. No advice and pressure. But we are good listeners that's why we get along so good with yellows because we become enthusiastic and gain strength to do the thing when listening to the ideas of yellows. Well, maybe we need encourage but, I think blues are better at analysing things. We could learn a lot about you telling about how you solved another problem because we pay close attention to you and we do want to change things just don't put too much focus upon us and our problems. So, speak about how you solved or would solve some other problem. We like to learn and listen. Just no grilling and pressuring.
Small talk isn't as complicated as it seems. The problem most people have is they are inside of their head while trying to communicate. Be in the situation, leave your thoughts for once. Go with the flow of the conversation and if you don't have anything to say ask the other person a question about themselves. Try to follow up with that: "Do you like to draw" "Not really, I pass my time reading books" "Oh, what are some of your favorite books" Something like that
Idk if th3y made a video on small talk after ur comment but i also have a problem with small talk what helped me is his videos How to improve communication skills theres another one cure 4 social anxiety theres no cure but both of these videos helped me the communication skills is a good one check that one out if u can
"What a fascinating video! I need to watch it again because it prompted a deeper analysis of my personality, helping me avoid problems when I have to work with others."
Although a good tool for trying to understand people, the problem with this over-simplification is how it both states and proceeds to ignore that it only fits 5% of the population. Things get more murky when the colors get meshed and that's how most people are. It's easy to say something like, "hey, I'm blue, but think like a red, with a sprinkling of green traits" but then looking at other people you have to remember most of them are also a mix as well and not so simple as this guide. I view this as an introduction into personality types rather than a "full" guide, which for that I think is good.
in my group of friends have all four colours. 1 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, 1 green. yes, it is challenging for us to keep in track and to keep up with every member. with all the group assignments, group activities, hanging out, and so on. me as a yellow + green find it quite hard to match some of the members, but at the end of the day, we'll figure it out and be close to a person that matches our colour, but still staying in the group because we still need each other. thank you for the video. It really helped me recognize my friends personality colour and how to handle it
june w, it’s tricky living too with a red father, yellow-green mother and I would say I’m green (with flashes of yellow in some circumstances and flashes of red in others. )
I guess I'm a 1%er cause I'm all 4 of these nutters! Definitely relate bigtime to each one! I'm ambidextrous, introverted and extroverted, plus autistic, so my brain is a very busy place every day.
@@dhavamaneeganesh2147 I write left and throw right. I sometimes practice tasks with the hand that feels less natural, and sometimes I'll just do it that way for a while.
Well over the period of a decade working in the software industry I have noticed one thing and feel so verified after watching your video: Those who do the work don't talk and those who talk don't deliver a thing (useful).
Sad that this is what you took away from the whole thing... Everyone brings something to the table. The problem is that the non creative concrete thinkers go along like a bull in a China shop, "getting So Much done!" And thinking that the reflective dreamer is just a big time waster... Meanwhile, you could slow down and try to learn what you are missing.... Maybe people you don't understand know something that you don't easily see.
@kahnfatman I have worked in IT for over 25 years, and I have to agree with your comment! In fact, at one corporation where I worked in their IT department, we were all required to take a quiz that produced these same (red, yellow, blue, green categories) for everyone in the department. Even though some of the employees said it was _"so enlightening",_ absolutely *nothing changed* about anyone's behaviors or interactions. I like working remotely for reasons that include this.
I told my husband early on, as in within days of meeting and dating, that I’m not a mind reader. Just say it point blank. No “kind of”, “sort of”, nonsense. I’ll let him know what I’m thinking in the same manner. Not combative, just communicating with one another honestly. We make the meal menu for the week TOGETHER. If one doesn’t feel like eating that particular meal on that day, there are alternatives in the frig and icebox. We’ve had one true argument in our 27 years of marriage and we worked through the issue with the help of a therapist. Most women divorce immediately for what he did but I’m not that way. No, he didn’t cheat but it was bad enough for him and the main guest room to become acquainted rather well! We raised our children to communicate openly and honestly, no judgements. We all had mutual respect and still steer our now grown children back on their path if they’ve gotten too far off. No one is perfect, we all have our flaws/colours and that’s what makes life more beautiful. You navigate it and work through what you can. If it’s something that you can’t change or work through, give it to God and forget about it.
The majority of coworkers in my company are now running around and categorizing everyone into these four types. They think they're now smarter than anyone with a doctorate in social psychology. It amuses and annoys me at the same time. Oh, and they think it's difficult to determine which 'color' I am. My boss said I'm a chameleon, which is apparently the best type and very rare... I mean, I'll take the compliment, but... oh boy. Regards from Switzerland, Katrin ♥
Learned about this system at a team building event years ago and this video summarizes it beautifully. I'm right in the middle between green and blue, but green feels a little more like myself. At work I'm having the most difficulties interacting with the reds.
Im a yellow. If they get the inkling that you dislike them, you’re done. Game over for you. It’s near impossible to win them back. I would find things you appreciate them and love about them.
Memory updated Being a perfectionist and an introvert with a "blue and green" vibe sounds like a pretty thoughtful and organized way to navigate life. You probably value deep connections, careful planning, and a calm, harmonious environment. That mix of traits might make you really good at focusing on details and creating quality work, even if it takes a bit longer.
yeah your right i do feel empowered cuz apparently im the avatar. i change through out the day and with different task. This just helped me uderstand why sometimes im on top of things and later i can feel like i never stood a chance.
This is so right. Lots of personality theories lead me struggling to fit people I know into them but this one focuses on the real experiences that you can have with people and it was very easy to fit all of my coworkers friends and family into each color. I'm definitely going to use this to help my relationships. And I'm 100% yellow
I am red when gaming and partying. Yellow with close ones sometimes red in a few situations if I have expertise. When in the office and with colleagues I am either green or definitely blue. I feel that with the right amount of exposure blue or green can become red. Whereas for the yellow one just needs to be empathic and trustworthy.
It was one of your best video of all time. I found myself clearly described in what you were saying. I just hoped you would tell us where you locate yourself. You made it so great. It filled me with ideas of what to do and what to be. Thanks
@@Shy.1521 I would disagree. Red and Yellow seem to all be extroverted while blue and green are all introverted. INTP is much more blue than red, ENFP and ENFJ are definitely more yellow than green etc. It seems to be divided by: Red: extroverted thinkers Yellow: extroverted feelers Green: Introverted feelers Blue: Introverted thinkers Rather than dividing by intuition vs sensing In my opinion lol
this reminds me of my last work place where we only were 4 people to take care of the entire store. The manager was red, the second ranked manager was yellow, a co worker was blue and i was green. The best i could work with was with my co worker. They always were extremly stressed out and paniced when something didnt worked out, i always been terrorized by my boss for being not fast enough and not understanding fast enough while the second grade manager was constandly talking and not working. Best combination we had was me with the co worker and the manager with the second grade manager. Once the combination was changed so were the results and mentality of me and my coworker. Me working with the second grade manager wasnt really great aswell as my coworker with the boss. Work is either done but with both of them being made/exhausted or me being slightly mad and the second grade manager a bit annoyed
That's make things so much clear. I think this video should reach more people like that's the reality of an entrepeneur,owner of a business life struggles in daily life, the employers behavior can be explained by they nature , and you should't fire them you should understand which one should work at which task in which group,in sume you need to put them in the right groups .
Red is a narcisist Yellow is ADHD, but the rare type, the one that's not anxious. Green is autistic, also the rare not anxious type. Blue is an anxious overthinker. Edit: I do wonder about what the "I hope you're feeling empowered and less *surrounded by idiots* imply...
I completely agree with the finals considerations. The book is just a compass it helps you identify some characteristics in others, and in yourself, it won't put an end to all conflicts but will help to make relationships easier 😉 I love your videos ❤
The 4 colours framework is a good one, the 4 personalities of the framework when all together make the most effective team possible that can get things done while covering the weaknesses of the others in the group, every colour needs the others for maximum efficiency and the best possible quality. Red would have yellow push the ambition, greens keep to the decisive action and help keep it realistic, and blues ensure things go right. Yellow would have red to keep them in a direction, green to help filter their ideas, and blue to make their ideas go as well as possible. Green would have red to guide them, yellow to get them out of the familiar, and blue to help them schedule and plan with greater detail. Blue would have red's decisiveness to counter the negatives of perfectionism, yellow to brainstorm and socialize, and green to help filter and balance. There are points of conflict inherent to the combinations, but they all need each other.
Explanation, graphics, straight to the point, the video is really great! The only black spot for me is the lack of links into the studies or articles about those 4 different personalities (for example when you say 5% are 1 color, 80% 2 colors and 18 % 3, where are the numbers from?)
One of my parents is red and blue, and the other is green. In some ways I feel like I am/became a yellow purely because someone needed to be in dealing with them.
This classification helps in 2 ways: 1) To understand the negative aspects of all these characters 2) To understand the positive aspects of all these characters and work on developing them in ourselves ❤
I'm green too and my husband is red. It's a disaster. We work best with yellows. I wish I knew this sooner. Then I wouldn't have to constantly battle with depression and anxiety. I hope you find a lot of yellow friends and a yellow partner.
Yes, these were the colours many years ago when they designated people according to the Four Humours in medieval science and medicine. I remember it as Red - choleric, Yellow - sanguine, Blue - melancholy, and Green - phlegmatic. Doesn’t really help as much as the Enneagram, though. Not enough nuance. Plus it is based in a very flawed vision of medicine and psychology. Recycled ideas from 40 years ago, which was recycled from the time of Galen.
Totally agree. I did this then the Enneagram at a retreat over a decade ago. Works well in combination however, if I could only choose one it would be the Enneagram every time 👍🏻
OK I get that but by dropping the "N" in the word you created a complete new meaning. Why didnt you just drop the space after the Colon: @@sherrellejohnson3451
I think she fixed it. But anyway, chaps, ...what do you think this chick looks like? Think she's a fox? I think I've always liked her naive, little voice, is why...
I am keeping in mind these four types when starting my own business and create a mainstream company. Thank you for the information. I will read this book, one day.
This is so systematic, I’d like this to be compared to what traits a company wants there employees to have. What type of personality you need to be most successful at a completing a task or job?
The entre presentation put me in to the mindset of a previous workplace setting that enabled a toxic work culture to flourish. It ruined people's health.
It is normal to have attributes of every category. It's just that people, once they grow older, see more benefit in one way or the other. If you are young and your personality is still developing, you will find this video pretty confusing, but once everything falls in place for you it becomes relatable. I think this should have been the preface for this episode 😂
still, authenticity is very important. if you want to be interested in someone, you should never fake it in any way, the genuine-ness of your personality is what sets you apart from other people, this does come at being vulnerable to stuff like disagreements, or simply being disliked by others. but tell me, would you rather be an NPC in the matrix, or be the main character? (albeit lamer than neo, neo is the prophecy, there cant be 2 or more)
It's rather interesting the blues are mentioned as 'analytical' because where I took the color test, the blues were the creative ones. If I were to base myself off this version of the 4 colors, I think I would be more of a yellow than a green (green was my initial result long ago).
With buckets like these, I alway keep in mind that people usually shift which they project day to day, and over the course of a year. I lean heavily towards Blue most of the time, but at some points I end up as all types of colors. They are less boxes you can sort people into, and a single pool with fuzzy bordurs, and some people swim around more than others.
I’m mostly Green and Blue combo. 💚💙 But when working I can be a red/blue, especially when there is a timeline. I would like to use this as an experiment to see if certain people will react accordingly. 🤔 Thx for the video!
Yeah it was helpful to see the author argued for most people exhibiting a mix of these. I would’ve found it more interesting and maybe inherently useful as well if more focus was put on discussion the way those archetypes interact within the individual. I see myself as primarily along the lines of Yellow, Blue, and Green. I found myself thinking of all possible 2 color combos red and green seemed most unlikely to cohabitate a single person. And that at a certain point like others said, you’re drawing from aspects of the types but not embodying any of them fully per se. Last thing. Still felt like there was something limited within this heuristic. And then it hit me. Sample size. This entire book is based on tropes of office culture it seems and if I had to guess I’d say a lot of the observations and research done by the author points towards office work environments. So it’s like yeah you definitely see those types in people. And there’s definitely more types out there… and so I’m figuring the primary limitation on this book is the specific environment it explores. Not so much 4 types of people but 4 types of people who’d work in a business office/cubicle environment…which..THAT. I’d believe lol.
my previous colleagues in my team were all red... it was really toxic environment, everybody trying to "win'. I experienced PTSD symptoms for 2 years even after leaving there...
