At work, all employees are to take the “True Colors” test. This test is designed to assist you in identifying your core values, motivations, sources of dignity, causes of stress, communication styles, social skills, learning styles, ethical behaviors and much more. This is a simple test that not only tells you a lot about yourself, but assists you with learning how to best communicate and work with other “colors”. After completing a simple test, you are scored and assigned a color. There are four colors- Gold, Orange, Green and Blue. Everyone has a primary color, secondary and so on.
