I attended a workshop and  my supervisor was the  facilitator. The workshop  was about Real Colors. Real  Colors is a personality test  and consists of 4      personalities - blue, gold,    green, and orange. I took a similar test called True Colors. Since I already took the True Colors test, I knew I was going to be orange. Orange is described as being the spontaneous, sociable, domineering, and outgoing personality type. According to my scores, I am a high orange. However, I have blue and gold as my second personality types because they had the same score. Blue is a very emotional personality type and gold is very goal oriented. My lowest score was green and 'green people' like to analyze and critically think about almost everything. About 40 people took the class and we all split into groups based on our colors. I was with the oranges and I became more outgoing as I talked with my fellow oranges. The class was really good and my supervisor did a fantastic job facilitating.

After the workshop, I noticed the Employee Development team used True Colors everyday to communicate with each other. I hear references about a co-worker's personality type at least once a day. I am also understanding my supervisor's communication style as well. When we debrief after a meeting, he likes to discuss the meeting in stages instead of just pointing out the obvious. True colors is a great workshop and when implemented in the workplace can help communication be more effective and build a better team environment.
