Understanding Your Color

As you begin to reflect on the career or profession you are drawn to, you will want to consider whether it contains aspects that match your interests. If your occupational interest is green, for example, you will likely feel natural in an environment that calls for promotion or persuasion-like advertising or law.

While your interest color shows what you like to do, your style color shows how you like to do things. Your style color also indicates how others might describe you. Your style color adds extra insight for possible career choices.

It is not uncommon for a person's interest and style colors to be different. A person may like the types of job responsibilities associated with their interest, but prefer to practice these responsibilities in a matter and within an environment that is consistent with their style.

For example, green interest and blue style combination suggests a career option that involves persuasion performed in a humanistic, creative, and supportive style. This is a person who likes selling, promoting, and group-contact responsibilities but also wants a cause or product he or she can believe in. A fundraiser for a nonprofit company may have both green and blue traits.

A red interest would likely be drawn to an active career or profession, say a visible leadership role in a company. If you have a blue style, however, you will likely need some downtime to withdraw and reflect on the meaning of proposals. A red interest, red style, on the other hand, might maintain an entirely proactive work style. A red interest with a yellow style may be drawn to a leadership role, but is likely to operate conservatively with a close eye on the bottom line. A red/yellow may be a entrepreneurial type of person who yearns to start their own business.
