Color Insight Questions

The colors below represent four different “types” of personalities. Although you may encompass all of the four color-types below, most of us have a primary and secondary color type.

Directions:

For the purposes of this exercise, look at the color list below and decide which one color represents your primary color type. (If you cannot figure it out, ask the people close to you which one they see as most prevalent for you.) Also, use the fear words in the parentheses to confirm your color. These fear words are where you come from when you get afraid. Next, answer the questions for that color type, by clicking on the corresponding color questions. You can answer the questions once every four months, and review your answers monthly. This will help keep you on track in your life and business in a way that is fun, satisfying, and powerful.
