Primary Colors Relationship Personality Tests are powerful personality insight tools that teach you how to transform feelings of misery and hostility into compassion, harmony and understanding.
There’s no shortage of color personality tests, but the Primary Colors Personality Test series is unlike all the rest. This is the only insight tool created specifically to help people heal and improve broken relationships. That’s why it’s also known as the Relationship Help Personality Test.
This completely unique personality test is modeled after, and based on, the six colors of the artists’ color wheel. Most personality tests are either four quadrant or based on the Big 5 personality traits. This relationship personality text is truly unlike any other.
For thousands of years, artists have understood, that with a base of only six colors they could blend, change hues, lighten and darken colors to create everything they could see or imagine.
The goal in using the Primary Colors Relationship Personality Insight tool is to help people gain self-awareness. Becoming aware of our choices and behavior in any given context is important, but it is especially valuable in helping us discover and understand the behaviors, reactions and choices we make in times of stress and frustration.
Each of the six colors on the personality color wheel represents innate positive qualities, known as your centered strengths. But each color on the wheel also reflects inherent weaknesses and destructive tendencies, that we call your extremes. When we are attempting to navigate our way through life one of the most important things to learn is the difference between our centered versus extreme color personality tendencies.
All conflict, misery, and misunderstanding comes from people acting out of their EXTREME color personality tendencies. Most of the time, these behaviors are unconscious. Understanding these knee-jerk, habitual responses is the first step to healing the destructive patterns sabotaging your personal or professional relationships.
Take the tests now. Your test results not only help you understand your color blends in different life and emotional contexts. It is fun to learn who you are at your best (centered personality tendencies), but it is imperative that you also come to terms with who you are at your worst (extreme personality tendencies). Your results will indicate likely dysfunctional behavior patterns and communication deficits that are represented by each of the six colors. Recognizing YOUR extreme color tendencies offers you the opportunity to choose your reactions consciously instead of behaving on auto-pilot.
The video below will give you a brief introduction to the six centered and extreme color personality tendencies, and the color slices will distinguish between them even further.
