I recently read The Color Code and The Character Code By Taylor Hartman. In these books, Hartman defines four personality colors (types)and claims that we were each born with one of the four personality colors, though in the process of character development, we may evolve strengths and weaknesses outside our own personality type. The most charactered people have the strengths of their own personality type and have developed strengths from other personalities to overcome their weaknesses in their own personality. The colors are as follows:

Red
Motive: power
Needs: to look good, academically, to be right, to be respected, to be approved of, to hide insecurities, to please self, to have leadership opportunities, and to have challenging adventure.
Positive Attributes: decisive, assertive, action-oriented, task-dominant, determined, responsible, independent, logical, pragmatic, disciplined, confident, powerful, leader, productive, and proactive.
Negative Attributes: selfish, insensitive, arrogant, critical of others, always right, impatient, calculating, intimidating, bossy, demanding, argumentative, aggressive, tactless, obsessive.

Blue
Motive: Intimacy
Needs: To be good (morally), to be understood, to be appreciated, to be accepted, to reveal insecurities, to please others, to be autonomous, and to have security.
Positive attributes: intimated, compassionate, sincere, loyal, thoughtful, quality-oriented, well-mannered, analytical, committed, dedicated, emotional, dependable, respectful, deliberate and nurturing.
Negative attributes: worry prone, overly sensitive, self-righteous, self-critical, unforgiving, judgmental, suspicious, unrealistic expectations, perfectionist, low self-esteem, hard-to-please, moody, guilt prone, and jealous.

White
Motive: Peace
Needs: To feel good (inside), to be understood, to be respected, to be accepted, to reveal insecurities, to please self and others, to be independent, to be content.
Positive attributes: peaceful, tolerant, kind, satisfied, even-tempered, agreeable, patient, pleasant, accepting, easy going, good listener, inventive, considerate, diplomatic, adaptable.
Negative attributes: timid, directionless, indecisive, unmotivated, silently stubborn, lazy, lackluster, indirect communicator, avoids conflict, self-deprecating, indifferent, ambivalent, uninvolved, and unenthusiastic.

Yellow
Motive: To have fun
Needs: to look good socially, to be popular, to be praised, to be approved of, to hide insecurities, to be noticed, to have freedom, and to experience playful adventure.
Positive attributes: fun-loving, playful, carefree, enthusiastic, optimistic, trusting, hopeful, happy, charismatic, sociable, forgiving, spontaneous, outgoing, lively and positive.
Negative Attributes: uncommitted, self-centred, disorganized, flighty, undisciplined, vain, afraid to face facts, inconsistent, unfocused, an interrupter, disruptive, impulsive, obnoxious, and naive.

So look at the various motives, needs and attributes. Consider which package comes most naturally to you. That is your personality color. Then, to determine how charactered you are, assess how you are doing at developing strengths outside your personality color and overcoming the weaknesses of your color. If you have weaknesses outside your color, work hard on overcoming those especially. They are really slowing you down. Please comment on this post. I am interested to know what color my friends and family are.
