There are few subjects as captivating as personality psychology. People never seem to grow tired of learning about their unique personality traits. Innately, we all know we are complex beings, and we long to understand ourselves on a deep level.
Human personalities are as varied and numerous as the stars in the sky. Some personalities are primarily humorous, some intense, some playful, and some melancholy. One thing is for sure: there is no test that can tell someone his or her personality type and traits with 100 percent accuracy. These tests can come close to complete accuracy, but personalities are simply not able to be fully explained and classified. That’s precisely what makes them so beautiful.
What are some of your personality traits? Here are a few (and we do mean a very few) traits that might show up on your personality profile:
- Deep
- Creative
- Cultured
- Adventurous
- Gracious
- Friendly
- Protective
- Honest
- Personable
- Loyal
- Modest
- Logical
- Free-spirited
This list of personality traits could go on and on. One way to discover more about your unique personality traits and how they work together to make you, you is to take a personality test. However, a quicker way to make determinations about your personality is to identify your favorite color. Your favorite color reveals an awful lot about who you are as a person. At least, that what’s the article Favorite Color Reveals Personality Type communicates. The article claims, “It is possible to make fairly accurate judgments about the meaning of color preferences and their revelations of personality traits (says Faber Birren).”
What Your Favorite Color Reveals About Your Personality
Of the hundreds of colors to choose from, which is your very favorite hue? Although we can’t cover all possible colors and their correlations to personality, we can discuss three common favorite colors – red, blue, and green.
- Red – If red is your color of choice, there’s a good chance that you are passionate, extroverted, emotionally expressive, and committed to living life to its fullest potential. Maleeka Spriggs, mentioned above, says, “To you (those who love red), life is meant to be happy, and when it isn’t, you are confused and upset. You hate monotony, are quick to judge people, quick to form opinions and boldly express them.” Sound familiar?
- Blue – Blue is an extremely popular favorite color. If you love blue, you very well might be a somewhat collected person. You probably have an uncanny ability to keep yourself calm in the midst of life’s storms. Amanda Chatel, author of the article What Your Favorite Color Says About You, Because Psychology is a Real-ish Thing, says, “People who love to wear blue are said to be easy to get along with, reliable, and, for lack of a better word, lovable.” Is this true of you?
- Green – Green is often the preferred hue of steady, sensible, dependable individuals. However, don’t let the balanced nature of a green-loving person fool you; he or she is also probably outspoken. Spriggs writes, “…those who like green are generally social and live in a good neighborhood, have many friends and belong to social organizations. You tend to resist change. You like parties and you like to eat – and may usually be on a diet.” Is this accurate?
