7 Keys to Personal Success A True Colors Approach The need for self-confidence and esteem is intrinsic, and is recognized as the basis for successful behavior. As people assume certain roles in their lives, they develop a particular character. They also believe their individual character is separate and unique. Yet, distinct similarities arise among groups of people, even though basic characteristics appear different. The old adage that birds of a feather flock together is solidly accurate. Recognizing this need for self-confidence, individual respect, worthiness and esteem, True Colors has been created as a vocabulary through which people can communicate the expression of their character. True Colors is an easy and entertaining way to begin understanding yourself and others. Identifying your character becomes an invaluable tool for enjoying success in your professional life and with family and personal relationships. Don Lowry Founder, True Colors 1

9 Introduction to True Colors Concepts The Self-Esteem Theory of True Colors The True Colors concept is based on the belief that we all have deep-rooted characteristics which drive our behavior, and through which we strive to experience self-esteem. We are imprinted with particular ways of thinking, understanding, valuing and conceptualizing. Our behavior, therefore, reveals certain identifiable attitudes, preferences, wants, aims, needs, motives and desires that make us feel good about ourselves or esteemed. These attitudes drive our actions and habits, making our behavior predictable. This theory of individual differences is not new. Variations of the theory can be found in the works of Hippocrates, Carl Jung, and Isabel Myers Briggs. (The widespread Myers Briggs Type Indicator states that human behavior is quite orderly and can be characterized by 16 different personality types.) More recently, Dr. David Keirsey has been refining the work of Myers Briggs. His book, Please Understand Me, reflects the basis of the True Colors philosophy. Don Lowry, the True Colors founder, uses color as a metaphor for understanding human characteristics and how intrinsic behavior must be differently rewarded to cause success and attain self-esteem. To represent each distinct perspective and personality type he uses one of four colors: Orange Gold Green Blue 3
10 The Meaning Behind the Colors Color has long been used as a component of our learning process, and in making mental connections with activities and events. Certain colors influence our lives everyday, and can unconsciously mold and guide us in various directions. Marketing experts use colors to sway our buying decisions, and industrial designers set the mood of working environments with the use of color. Color can also relieve tension and stress and assist in creating tranquil surroundings. True Colors uses this concept of color association to create a simple but powerful vocabulary for discussing and describing personality differences and similarities. You will find this system far more understandable and, thus, more practical than the use of highly technical formulas, symbols, and alphabetical and numerical designations employed by some other personality profile systems. Throughout this text, and in related exercises, you will be constantly fortified with the significance of the four basic colors, their relationship to the subject matter discussed, and how they can be applied to everyday situations.

11 Discovering Your True Colors Personal Keys to Success In the words of Don Lowry, The True Colors symbol represents the key to an individual s pathway to self-confidence and esteem. It is the metaphor for the True Colors person a person of excellence who has a positive state of mind, who recognizes and acknowledges others perspectives, and participates in his or her own unique way in improving the quality of life for every individual. Well, you finally showed your true colors! This observation indicates that the real YOU has suddenly surfaced. Can a person really be good as gold? What is meant when someone is described as true blue? Do you look for the silver lining? Are some people actually going through life with a little black cloud hanging over their head? In these questions, the colors referred to are intrinsic to the idea being communicated. In other words, the color is the message. You, too, communicate a message through your True Colors. Discovering these colors is fun, exciting and informative. Once you recognize the True Colors in yourself and in others, your awareness becomes a KEY TO SUCCESS in your personal, professional and social activities. Identifying Your Colors The four True Colors constitute your character spectrum. Just as an actor refers to shading the character s role, your role in life, your career, and relationships with others is also shaded. This shading adds dimension and tone to your character. Most people have a character which is dominantly one color, but is influenced or shaded by the other colors. It is important to realize that the quali-ties associated with each color are positive each is esteemed. Find the color-coded Character Cards accompanying this manual. These cards will become indispensable to you as you progress through the True Colors program, and begin applying its concepts. Look closely at the corresponding color illustration on the front of each card. 5
12 Step 1: Visualize Yourself As you read the following passages, think of how each remark relates to the color of the corresponding card and the illustration. ORANGE: As I see it, the world belongs to those who take action, and action is my middle name! By the time you have this program planned, I ll have it done and be ready for something new. So, whattaya say? Let s start now (Impulsive, immediate, independent.) GOLD: I think a clear-cut, downto-business approach will get us to the bottom line here. After all, following the rules and maintaining order is the best way to get anything accomplished. It is our respon si bility to see that the organization s procedures and policies are followed, so things will run smoothly the way they are supposed to be run (Responsible, practical, loyal to the organization.) GREEN: I have this new program for making the office run like clockwork. We will research all the information filed over the last 15 years, and input the data into a state-of-the-art computer. Then, at the push of a button, we ll be able to print out reports, and we ll have all the backup material we need to support our demands (New ideas, new technology.) BLUE: I realize that good information is very necessary to the development of new programs, but we have to consider how this would affect the workers. It s their work place, you know. And, after all, their feelings should be considered before starting this program or any other for that matter (Feeling, compassionate, adaptable.) Now that you are familiar with at least a few of the color group characteristics, sort the cards in order from the one that is most like you, to the one that is least like you. EQ AT WORK 6

25 Self-Esteem What It Is You Do To Feel Best About Yourself Self-esteem is an inside job. It is intrinsic and as natural as breathing. You do not have to do anything other than be who you are to feel good about yourself. You already have what it takes to experience self-esteem, and it belongs to you as your human right. We have been lead to believe that if we have all the material success we desire, we will feel good about ourselves. The opposite is true. If we feel good about ourselves, we will have all of those other things. That is why it is so hard for some people to achieve success they are doing things in reverse. Our self-perceptions drive us in a direction toward success or in a direction away from success. Our natural skills and talents are our built-in program for self-esteem and success. By looking first at these unique skills and talents, you will begin the process of applying the True Colors concepts. This section, as well as subsequent ones, will give you the knowledge you require to take the road to high self-esteem. Self-Esteem Characteristics by Color Groups On the following pages in this section we will take a look at the characteristics exhibited by the four primary color groups to gain self-esteem. Remember, a person s primary color is supported and shaded by other colors. Review the self-esteem needs of all four primary colors. 19
26 ORANGE The Need to Be Skillful. People in this group are in esteem when, above all, they are free to act on a moment s notice. Action or doing carries its own reward. They do things for the joy of doing. They choose to be impulsive and to act upon the idea of the moment. They gain pride and self-esteem by being highly skilled in a variety of fields. They are master negotiators. They have a zest for life and a desire to test the limits. Their hands-on approach to problem-solving, as well as their direct line of reasoning, creates excite ment and immediate results. Their free spirit is symbolized by the flight of an eagle, the sensation and risk of hang-gliding, the skillfulness of handling a tool, and the freedom of the outdoors. The Orange s enthusiasm for action and freedom are as much a part of the American culture as are the tradition and duty of the Gold personality. Acting on Impulse. The Orange personality thrives on impulsive action to be expressive without reluctance. Professions and activities which intrigue and excite them include the skill-demanding arts such as photography, athletics, dance and music. Any activity which combines passion with skill is the perfect lure for the Orange. Enjoying New Ideas and Goals. Life is a series of new situations, new ideas, and new goals. Rules are recognized, but broken if necessary. They enjoy owning gadgets, or anything representing newer, faster, and better methods to reach a goal. Change is not only exciting, but often preferable. Being With People. People in the Orange group enjoy being with people and are often the recognized leader. They easily run interference for others, relishing the opportunity to reflect the importance of doing so. Dealing With Pressure. The Orange personality flourishes under pressure. They derive pleasure from competition ( no pain, no gain ), and this supports the achievement of goals with perfection. Acting Without Reservation. Freedom is the ultimate Orange pleasure. Self-esteem comes with the freedom to make decisions without approval or obligation. They have boundless energy, which they believe should be used to its highest potential. Life is an adventure, and they believe they know exactly how to make the best of it. EQ AT WORK 20
27 GOLD The Need to Be Responsible. People in this group are in esteem when they feel responsible, and when they belong to an organized group. Regardless of the social unit, they must earn their place by being useful, by fulfilling responsibilities, by being of service, and by caring for others. They value order and they cherish traditions of home and family. Loyalty and steadfastness are their trademarks. They are generous and parental, demonstrating that they care by ensuring that everyone does the right thing. These backbones of society are symbolized in the patriotism of the American flag, the structure of groups and organizations, the responsibility of parenting, the caring of nursing and healing, and the pride of heritage. Rules by which people interact are of utmost concern to them. Security of the family unit and for all it stands is the foundation upon which all other interactions are expressed, be it in their school, their work place, their union, or within society itself. Finding Comfort in Structure. Examples of the Gold structure are edified early in life. Participation in youth organizations are the groundwork for the future comfort zones of Golds. As adults, they are drawn to service organizations. They receive self-esteem by being part of the organization almost personifying the organization. Titles, banners, flags, and similar forms of organizational identity are necessary symbols representing the physical stamps of approval for their behavior. Enjoying Responsibility. To a Gold personality, responsibility is a blessing. Even if dumped upon, the Gold cannot be dissuaded from the continuing and enjoyable quest for responsibility and duty. Providing Standards to Society. People in the Gold group have a distinct concern for others, but it differs from that of a Blue personality. The mission of the Gold is to provide standards within the society to better enable people to tend to obligations. The financial world is the domain of the Gold education, medicine, and service are areas to which they are drawn. Establishing Stability. The self-esteem of the Gold personality flows from stability. The Golds stability represents their basic motivation and direction. They also receive esteem from society, because they exemplify that which society itself strives to accomplish. 21
28 GREEN The Need to Be Ingenious. People in this group are in esteem when they are competent. They want to understand and control the realities of life. This control represents the power to acquire the multiple abilities for which they pride themselves. They feel best about themselves when they are solving problems and when their ideas are recognized. They are complex individualists with great analytical ability. Although they do not express their emotions openly, they do experience deep feelings. These abstract thinkers are symbolized by the vision of the genius; the challenge of science, the complexity of models and systems, and in the perfection of symmetry (such as that demonstrated in the Great Pyramid). They thrive on the mental competencies, as well as on the skills and abilities of others. They are motivated by a quest for knowledge, and the ability to seek it and provide it. The control of knowledge is as important as its acquisition because such control can be perceived as power. Motivated to Improve. People in the Green group do not see the performance aspect of knowledge as a primary concern. Rather, they gain self-esteem by providing information for others to act upon. The results motivate them even further to improve on what they previously perceived or created. The impor tance and emphasis on performance concerns them only when it is their own, as with the development of an idea or the pursuit of new knowledge. Language as a Communication Tool. The Green personality seeks self-esteem and gratification in professions and activities which rely on competence. This includes the sciences, engineering, computers and mathematics, philosophy, and any field requiring precise detailing of ideas. Language and its use are merely toys with which to play, and there is a certain fascination with language as a communication tool. Working as a Source of Pleasure. As a Green, a person derives genuine pleasure from work because it represents a continual quest for knowledge. Work may be a means of providing creature com forts, but it is also a source of recreation. On a day away from paid work, people with a Green personality may be content to sit before the television and listen only to informational pro grams. To be mentally idle is to be worthless. EQ AT WORK 22
29 BLUE The Need to Be Authentic. People in this group are in esteem when they are authentic. They must find their real self, and live their lives as an expression of their unique identity. For them, integrity means the unity of their inner self with outer expression. Life is a dream in which they must find meaning. They are sensitive to subtlety and they create roles with special flair in life s drama. They enjoy close relationships with those they love, and experience a spiritual pride in their nature. Making a difference in the world comes easily to them as they cultivate the potential in themselves and in others. They are natural harmonizers and symbolized by the vision of peace, the romance of love ballads, the drama of stage and screen, the importance of people, and the warmth of a hug or a handshake. Continuing the Search for Self. The Blue personality is involved in an enigmatic and continual search for self. Human relationships are of primary concern, not only on a one-to-one basis, but among people collectively, as well. People in this group will often behave with almost chameleon ability to preserve relationships even becoming that which others want them to be in order to provide an atmosphere of harmony. They explore and consume new directions, ideas and concepts dealing with human relationships. Relating on a Personal Level. People in the Blue group relate best to others on a personal level. This leads them into helping professions and activities such as counseling, teaching, social work, and benevolent volunteer work. Work is treated almost in a missionary sense, with the emphasis on the benefits derived, rather than on the job itself. More time than any other color group is devoted to developing this personal aspect, because they seek the same fulfillment for self as they attempt to give to others. Seeking Identity Through Contribution. The identity and self-esteem received from contributing to society is more impor tant than any personal acknowledgments received. Despite receiving fewer rewards than other color groups, the Blues will con tinue to pursue goals they feel are neglected by society. 23
30 When Self-Esteem Runs Out There are certain symptoms you can look for when you (or those around you) are having a bad day. With a little practice, you will recognize these lack of self-esteem indicators related to particular color groupings. Orange: Rudeness and defiance Breaking the rules intentionally Running away from situations, dropping out Use of stimulants Acting out boisterously Lying and cheating Physical aggressiveness Gold: Complaining and self-pity Anxiety and worry Depression and fatigue Psychosomatic problems Malicious judgments about oneself or others Herd mentality (blind following of leaders) Authoritarian and phobic reactions Green: Indecisiveness Refusal to comply or cooperate Extreme aloofness and withdrawal Snobbish, put-down remarks, and sarcasm Refusal to communicate (the silent treatment) Perfectionism due to severe performance anxiety Highly critical attitudes towards oneself or others Blue: Attention-getting misbehavior Lying to save face Withdrawal Fantasy, day-dreaming Crying and depression Passive resistance Yelling and screaming EQ AT WORK 24
