| An Orange a day keeps sorrow away |
| 06.24.04 (12:19 pm) [edit] |
My son finished grade four yesterday. His report card showed that he improved quite a lot since last summer in many areas. I have to give him credit on demonstrating more discipline in school, and the result shows. I can’t help but grin though on a teacher’s comment about his worst subject, drama and dance. “He was able to pick up the hip hop steps quite well, but his attention was often else where.”
My son acts on impulses. He is bored easily if the activities do not generate immediate rewards. He is easily distracted by the interesting things in his mind, and lose track of where he is. He is not good with a rigid and structured environment. He needs to be let go and creative. Of course, he likes to experiment. Don’t try to explain to him the manual, just let him start putting the toy together. He will figure it out. If he’s interested in certain thing, he remembers every detail about it, as if he’s been doing it for years. Sometime he talks as if he’s an expert, because he can’t really separate what he knows from what he actually can do.
My son shows a strong personality of Orange, a personality that values freedom, creativity and instant rewards. Their time focus is present. Therefore, they often ask the question, “what do I get for doing this?” Orange people like freedom and hate formality. They are spontaneous and playful. If you take them too seriously, you will only get frustrated. You need to be able to play along, and appreciate their light heartedness.
They are also problem solvers. Of course, whether they are good at it or not depends on their intelligence quotient. But they love to help. The explanation for this behaviour links to their desire for instant rewards. They like the immediate gratification from solving other’s problems.
If they are extravert, they are supposed to be good athletes too. Because their time attention is present, they can rebound quicker from the mistakes they make. They are very competitive too, because they want that winning sensation as their rewards!
They are good at many things – repair, building, installation and set up. They are probably the most hands-on people you will ever meet.
They are also happy and practical. Believe it or not, they have an eye for beauty too. They prefer aesthetic environment and cannot stand dull drums. Why? They want to feel alive!!
This concludes the four basic personality types in True Colours – Gold, Blue, Green and Orange. From this basic understanding I will go on to explore the more complete personality composition, i.e. how everyone actually has a dominant and a secondary colour that drive his persona, and how they affect the person's happy buttons…
