I really like the concept of learning our own color to be able to be perceived by students the way we truly intend.
In high school, we had done the TC test and found our colors and general descriptions of the traits. However, there was not a break down of strengths, weaknesses, needs and what could differ between one's own perception of themselves versus what others perceive. If we incorporate this, it will good to discuss each color more thoroughly.

I feel I am a blue personality type
Understanding true colors personality traits specifically describes four different ways of perceiving life and according to this how the individual acts. Acknowledging strengths, weaknesses, needs, and stressors helps to understand the person.
Blue, Gold, and Orange colors of the True Colors personality traits influence student learning in the classroom. By understanding the relationship between a student’s personality and his or her success in the classroom, an instructor can enhance student learning.
It's interesting to see how each personality trait is unique and how they are all almost juxtaposing one another
It is interesting to asses which personality traits I possess as well as those of my students and how we will interact in the most effective manner to take full advantage of our virtual setting.
I find this emphasis on TC a little disheartening. The authors of this course have decided that this is the model that we need to know for online teaching. We have little to no visual cues of the students who we teach yet we'll be able to classify them based on dealing with them a handful of hours/week. I think if I was working a job in a company with a manager and numerous peers/colleagues, I can see this being applied.
I learned what colors I am and they really fit me.
In this module I learned about the True Colors method of identifying personalities based on: Blue, Gold, Green and Orange. It was interesting to identify myself and my family members using this spectrum and how accurate it is. I will use this method to understand my students personalities better and to enhance their learning.
I have learnt now why some people behave th eway they do. Colors do matter in their traits. I am with the Blue color people and nto even knowing this before got it down to the T
This section really helps me to consider the working relationship with other faculty more than understanding the student. The approaches to lesson plans, adaptation, the way in which students respond to these various personalities, and the way in which the various personalities interact during meetings is all a little clearer.
Learning about the true colors of personality was very interesting and taught me alot about myself. Great tool to use for the students.
With regard to "True Colors" all I kept thinking about was Cyndi Lauper. But I digress....
True colors is another way to categorize personality traits---I think, like many others, I am a mix of at least two colors.
In this module I learned and anylize even myself with the true color system traits. Very interesting!
Learning about the true colors I have learned to understand the strenghths that each of us brings to the table. Reinforcing the idea that a good team is made of varying traits, skills, personalitites. These all help the synergy of a team excel in the goals they must accomplish.
I agree with the previous post that this over simplifies people and their charateristics. I think most people will have a blend of personality color types.
I enjoyed learning about the different color type personalities. It is a great tool to have as an instructor. Blue can be emotional, withdrawn; Green can be impatient, tends to make things more complex; Orange can be disinterested in routine and loud;Gold can be self rightious, needing responsibility. In learning the various color types I will try and match the personalities of some of my students. This is a good tool to use within the educational process.
