Have you ever heard about the True Colors test? It’s a model for understanding yourself and others based on your personality temperament. Luckily, I know I have an orange personality in my Psychology Class last semester. As an orange personality type, I have a hard time listening to others. The advantage for this type is that I would try to do it on my way or look for a new way to go for. However, there are some disadvantages for this type. Misunderstanding others can occur when I don’t listen to others such as not following the instruction properly and it can affect other people. In addition, this can leave negative impression on the speaker. This can be considered impolite and disrespectful. Some of the facts the results showed that I was not able to explain them myself was that my time management. I tense to put my act together at the right moment; I hardly try to finish my task before hand. There always has to be a motivation for me to act on something such as deadline and important events. Secondly, listening is something that the test was able to explain. For most of the time, I do listen to people when they talk. However, sometimes, I don’t take on what people say because I think that I can do something better. And sometimes, things don’t go as the way I plan but I have the experience from it and try to improve from it. Thirdly, same personality is something I cannot explain. I tense to hang out and get closed to people who share the same or similar interests as myself. I found that people who have similar interests could be easy to talk to and share feeling with rather people who have different interests and hobbies. After I got a result from the test, I found that most of them are true about myself. I am spontaneous which mean that I can act on almost any situation that needs my action right away. I take chances as I act and ready to take on the result of my actions. Secondly, I only have interest on people who have similar personalities to mine because they’re easy to share feeling with and easy to communicate with. Thirdly, I do not like working in the same routine, I try to make things different as I go and learn from the experiences. I find work that I enjoy most.

I love your post and this post attracts me a lot. Listening others is hard if we do not practice. We have to open our ears and try to think what they are talking about. I also had hard time to listen others but I practiced many times how to listen people. Hope you get in my way too.

This post is very interesting. I have never heard of the "true color's test" but I am curious to see my results. For me, I feel I am outgoing and adventurous. I love the little things, I am a great listener and I will definitely try this personality test. Thanks!
