Numerous companies, across different industries are now discovering the benefits of using colour in personality profiling. Whether this is for recruitment or team development purposes.

Many individuals understand the benefits of personality profiling when it comes to recruitment but what about team development and improving team communication? It can be just as effective for this purpose.

Using colour in personality profiling for team development

How do you ensure everybody in the room quickly understands significantly different personalities and work preferences? How do you get everybody to appreciate and understand each other’s value to the team and communication styles and needs? How do you draw out your introverts and get your extroverts to listen?

The answer lies with using colour in Personality Profiling.

Skillsarena has created a unique Personality Profiling tool. This enables you to learn how colour can be used to describe personality, understand who you are and how you are perceived in a team and learn how to communicate effectively depending on individual preferences and improve team meetings.

The tool can be used across the business, from improving motivation, to understanding team fit, to creating project teams, to understanding preferred communication styles and improving the working environment, helping co-workers better understand each other and teaching them to value the different strengths within the team.

It analyses four elements of personality; introversion, extroversion, thinking and feeling.

These are represented by colours; blue, green, red and yellow. You can be a rainbow, but most people are predominantly one colour, which gives a clear picture of personality and communication style.
Red= Confident, Direct, Driven, Focused, Leaderr
Green= Inclusive, Democratic, Caring, Diplomatic, Loyalr
Yellow= Enthusiastic, Visionary, Optimistic, Trusting, Creativer
Blue= Conscientious, Meticulous, Logical, Methodical, Calm
