This concept was easier to learn than others. I think it is because the personality colors already fit our perceptions of what those colors represent.
As I was learning these TC personality colors, I was trying to identify people I know that would belong with each of these colors. I believe, I am definitely blue. I always have motivational quotes posted on my white board on my office wall, so people passing by could feel inspired as they read them. I love doing lectures on communication and leadership psychology, so this is right up my alley.
I think, Steve Jobs would be a good example of Green personality trait? What do you think?
Each color has a distinct learning style. This is extremely useful information to have when developing courses and related activities.
Greens need freedom to explore topics that interest them.
Oranges need to have fun and excitement.
Green and orange students may be at risk for not having their needs met in the traditional lecture-based learning model. They have difficulty with structure and lectures. These students would not thrive in a rigid lock step delivery model.
It seems that the traditional eduation world is geared toward the gold and blue students. I would strive to create activities that would appeal to both sides of the spectrum.
I'm definitely a mix of all of the colors.
True colors helps us understand our students personalities to help them more in class.
I love this, the color system makes total sense. I agree with the blue being warm and friendly, gold is responsible and punctual, green is competent and independent, and orange is social.
I was familiar with the other personality trait models but had never heard of the true colors one. It's intersting to see how it lines up with other models.
The True Colors approach is similar to other "color" approaches on which I've been trained.
Recognizing the dominant personality trait one posesses enables one to better reach their potential. Finding a way to take the personality trait of those you are instructing and using it to their advantage would help in the academic environment tremendously. I wonder how much of the TC is taken into consideration when designing academic materials for students grades k-12? Or are there other factors that dominate that preceed TC factors?
Some may find that placing people in predefined boxes help. I don't want to be identifed this way and nor do I want someone to think of me as a color. I ve dealt with that my whole life. Personalities are not colors
When I think about people I know I can usually pinpoint their brightest color, but we're all a mixture of traits.
I am going to evaluate my students and figure out what personality color each is and use that to enhance my teaching.
Interesting personality color theory that may be useful when interacting with students, particularly in a one on one sceanrio.
I am a BLUE, with certain characteristics of GOLD.

I like the information on the different types of color personality traits.
I think people are a mixture of the color personality types.
I better understand my own personality traits, which may not work with a blanket approach to others when seeking desired outcomes. I need to be able to recognize the traits of others that are different from my own, and leverage that understanding to help drive them to success.
I agree with Jude who states that we, as instructors, may lean towards activities / teaching strategies that would meet our own personality needs. But we must go outside our comfort zone to teach in a variety of methods to meet everyone's strengths. That way, there is at least one activity in a course that meets each person's strengths. I also believe this understanding of personality traits can be useful in setting up groups for group projects.
The first thing I took from this module is there is a coloring system for an individual’s personality type. Understanding the personality of an individual, regardless if it is a student, employee, or friend, helps one successfully engage with that individual. I concur with Dennis Eberly that people can be a mix of colors and I am not sure we can simply assign these buckets as a one size fits all. I feel I am a mix of gold and orange. The key takeaway for me is to recognize the wide variation of personality types and to be aware of them as I interact with students online.
