The Color Assessment Q, a collaborative effort by Shoya Zichy and Ann Bidou, is a simple quiz, which assesses the actions, values ​​and thoughts of a person in order to color code them into different personality types (Zichy & Bidou, 2007). After taking the assessment, each participant will be presented with a primary personality color, a secondary personality color, and whether they are considered extroverted or introverted (Zichy & Bidou, 2007). The book then has subsequent chapters that explain the characteristics, traits, strengths and weaknesses, and potential career choices of each personality type (Zichy & Bidou, 2007). After taking the assessment, my primary personality color was classified as gold while my secondary personality color was blue. Golden personalities make up 46% of the population (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. 186). The gold/blue personality is believed to “thrive by having many responsibilities for which [they are] recognized and appreciated” (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. 186) as well as “thorough, responsible, and hardworking” (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, page 202). The text goes on to explain that many Gold/Blue personalities are Type A individuals, demanding by nature, duty bound, logical, family focused, judgmental of others, accurate and decisive, as well as loyal to teammates (Zichy & Bidou , 2007).I believe that the gold/blue personality suits me perfectly, with the exception of an “unusually accurate memory” (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. 202); Unfortunately I can't remember anything unless it's written down. Although I noticed many of the key traits of these personality types in myself, I didn't know that they were particular to them. I have always been a dedicated and hardworking individual, with high standards even for myself... middle of paper... just to serve my family. I constantly fear that my lack of work experience, even with a degree, will be to my detriment when looking for work. I love my family and would do anything for them, but I can't fight the looming urge to do something "more." I would rather be content with my lot in life, even if it is only temporary. The Career Match and the Color Q Personality Assessment (Zichy & Bidou, 2007) were very enlightening, affirming and a source of deep personal analysis and reflection. My gold/blue/introvert rating not only confirmed my personal suspicions, but provided some insight into my strengths and weaknesses, not only as an employee but also as a person. I have found Career Match (Zichy & Bidou, 2007) to be an invaluable resource and greatly appreciate that it has provided me with the opportunity to better understand myself.
