Green
The one who thinks deeply
You feel finely. What others run past once, you turn over a few more times — which is why you catch faint signals, see the problems others miss, and make things that hold up to scrutiny. Your empathy is real; people don't have to perform around you. You're willing to go deep into one thing, and that depth is your steadiest advantage — plenty of work that needs patience and care only gets done by people like you.
Your strengths
- Your sense of detail and proportion is good; work you hand over doesn't need checking.
- Your empathy is genuine, and people relax around you.
- You'll dig in and take something to a depth others don't reach.
Worth keeping an eye on
- Once you've thought it through roughly, start — adjusting as you go is often faster than thinking it through completely first.
- Say what matters to you out loud; most people genuinely don't pick up hints, and saying it makes it easy.
- Put a time limit on going back over things; the energy you free up can go somewhere else.
How you speak, how you're heard
What you say carries weight and leaves room, because you've already run it through once. People want your read more than you think — say a little more of it.
On a team
You're the quality check. Holes in a proposal, risks in a process, consequences nobody thought of — usually you see them first.
How you come across
People find you reliable and thorough, and they'll trust you with what matters.
When you're tired
When you're tired you want to draw in and be by yourself. That's an effective way to recover — just tell the people who care about you once you're back.
With the other three
- Red
- Their lightness is the breath you're short of; they can pull you out of going over things. Time around this kind of person does you good.
- Yellow
- They move fast, you think deep. Say your reservation on the spot — they'll listen; what they want is information, not agreement.
- Blue
- Two quiet people; it's comfortable. Set aside a time now and then to lay things out, and this pairing is very steady.
