The Color Q Assessment, a collaborative effort by Shoya Zichy and Ann Bidou, is a simple quiz, assessing actions, values ​​and thoughts of a person in order to color code them according to different personality types (Zichy and 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 and Bidou, 2007). The book then has later chapters that explain the characteristics, traits, strengths and weaknesses, and potential career choices of each personality type (Zichy and Bidou, 2007). After taking the assessment, my primary personality color was classified as gold while my secondary personality color was blue. Golden personalities represent 46% of the population (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. 186). The gold/blue personality is considered “thriving by having many responsibilities for which [they] are recognized and appreciated” (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. 186) as well as “detailed, responsible and hardworking” (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. , 2007, p.202). The text goes on to explain that many gold/blue personalities are Type A individuals, demanding by nature, duty-bound, logical, family-oriented, critical of others, precise and decisive, as well as loyal to teammates ( Zichy and Bidou, 2007). ).I believe the gold/blue personality matches me perfectly, with the exception of an “unusually specific memory” (Zichy & Bidou, 2007, p. 202); unfortunately I don't remember anything unless it was written down. Although I noticed many of the key traits of these personality types in myself, I didn't know they were unique to them. I have always been a dedicated and hardworking person, with high standards towards myself as well... middle of paper... purely to serve my family. I constantly worry that my lack of work experience, even with a bachelor's degree, will be to my detriment when looking for a job. I love my family and would do anything for them, but I can't fight the looming need to do something "more." I would rather be content with my lot in life, even if it is only temporary. Career Match and the Color Q personality assessment (Zichy & Bidou, 2007) were very enlightening, affirming, and led to in-depth personal analysis and reflection. My gold/blue/introvert assessment not only confirmed my personal suspicions, but also provided insight into my strengths and weaknesses, not only as an employee but also as a person. I found Career Match (Zichy and Bidou, 2007) to be an invaluable resource and greatly appreciate that it gave me the opportunity to better understand myself..
