What's Your Color Q Profile?

This post is quite beyond the event but it's something I've been meaning to get to you since. Shoya Zichy presented a seminar hosted by the Young Professionals Network of the Chamber of Commerce. She is the author of "Color Q Profile System that basically breaks everyone down into 4 categories (red, blue, green, gold). I generally don't like the idea of dividing people into such structured categories but my category really described me to my core. I'm a Blue sub Gold. I live for ideas but not neseccarily the actual see-through of that idea. I like to dream big. Blues seem arrogant and don't respect authority. But that's not always a bad thing. It's true - status doesn't mean anything to me. That explains a lot! Even more enlightening was meeting 4 other 'Blues' and realizing that I'm not crazy as my husband seems to believe. I'm just a frantic list-making, idea-launching-but-not-carrying-out Blue and I'm not ashamed. The Gold part of me acutally made a chart of my current spices (in alphabetical order) and posted it on the inside of my cupboard.

So why is all of this important? I think it's good to know what makes you tick, what your downfalls are, and where you need to ask for help from others who are more inclined to a certain talent. As difficult as it is for me to admit that I'm not perfect, I'm reminded of it time and time again. It's comforting to know that there are others to help me where I lack and that I have not failed simply because I am not good at everything. The Color Q Profile system also goes into depth about how to relate to the other color profiles (how to lead them, how to 'sell' them, how to be lead by them).

Check out a mini-assessment I'd be interested in knowing which color you think you are.
