400 years before Christ was born, Hippocrates wrote about the four personality types. He called them: Feeler, Sensor, Thinker and Intuitive.

Since then much has been written about this subject. The reason why is because there are some advantages in knowing what kind of personality is yours and the ones you have to deal with on a daily basis. If you are a salesperson, a doctor, or a mom, whatever your calling may be, it will be to your advantage to know about the four personality types and how to recognize them.

Today these personality types have been given "color names" which are often used in place of feeler, sensor, thinker, and intuitive. These colors are: Yellow (Feeler), Blue (Sensor), Green (Thinker), and Red (Intuitive).

Yellow and Green personality type people make up 35% of the population each. Blues and Reds make up 15% of the population each.

Let's start with the Yellows. Yellows are open and indirect. Their motto is: Let's be friends! Their occupation would be, among others, teacher, nurse, or counselor. They are the sweetest people. They are the kind of people who pick up strays on the street and look for a home for them. If they can't find one, they'll bring them home. Yellows like change, but not sudden change. Don't push a yellow into doing something too fast. Give them room to think and act on their own time. Yellows can use money of course, but money is not their primary concern. They usually just don't do things for the money, and it is not their primary concern.

What are the weaknesses of the Yellows? They are over sensitive people, they take everything personally. Yellows are more followers than they are leaders and not goal oriented.

What are the qualities of the Yellows? They are the best listeners. They are dependable, patient, supportive and nurturing. They are your best friend.

The Blues are open and direct. Their motto is: Let's have fun! Their occupation would be: Sales, entertainment, or public speaking. They are the most direct and creative people on the planet. They like to have fun in anything they do. Even their job must be fun in order for them to stick to it. Blues can make decisions in a split second, and act before they think. Blues do like change, sometimes even too much. They have a tendency to jump from one opportunity to another very often. They like the money, but their first concern is fun, family and relationships. Once you teach Blues how to focus, they are the kind of people who will take off beyond your expectations.
