Recognizing the dominant personality trait one posesses enables one to better reach their potential. Finding a way to take the personality trait of those you are instructing and using it to their advantage would help in the academic environment tremendously. I wonder how much of the TC is taken into consideration when designing academic materials for students grades k-12? Or are there other factors that dominate that preceed TC factors?
Some may find that placing people in predefined boxes help. I don't want to be identifed this way and nor do I want someone to think of me as a color. I ve dealt with that my whole life. Personalities are not colors
When I think about people I know I can usually pinpoint their brightest color, but we're all a mixture of traits.
I am going to evaluate my students and figure out what personality color each is and use that to enhance my teaching.
Interesting personality color theory that may be useful when interacting with students, particularly in a one on one sceanrio.
I am a BLUE, with certain characteristics of GOLD.

I like the information on the different types of color personality traits.
I think people are a mixture of the color personality types.
I better understand my own personality traits, which may not work with a blanket approach to others when seeking desired outcomes. I need to be able to recognize the traits of others that are different from my own, and leverage that understanding to help drive them to success.
I agree with Jude who states that we, as instructors, may lean towards activities / teaching strategies that would meet our own personality needs. But we must go outside our comfort zone to teach in a variety of methods to meet everyone's strengths. That way, there is at least one activity in a course that meets each person's strengths. I also believe this understanding of personality traits can be useful in setting up groups for group projects.
The first thing I took from this module is there is a coloring system for an individual’s personality type. Understanding the personality of an individual, regardless if it is a student, employee, or friend, helps one successfully engage with that individual. I concur with Dennis Eberly that people can be a mix of colors and I am not sure we can simply assign these buckets as a one size fits all. I feel I am a mix of gold and orange. The key takeaway for me is to recognize the wide variation of personality types and to be aware of them as I interact with students online.
I can not get into the color personality traits. It is hard to picture a person being a color on a spectrum wheel of all possible shades. Because so many people have more than one color it just becomes an unbalanced painting.
It is important to understand personality types and know traits and weaknesses as an Instructor.
I learned how understanding my owm personality can help me a better instructor.
TC is a great tool to help better understand a student's personality but may be too rigid.
Looking at these traits I believe some fit a color to a "T". But, I believe most are definitely a combination of at least two, if not three. Environment and age are a big factor. Being able to identify traits helps in the classroom.
I believe most people will find they are a mix of more than one color type personality.
I rarely use this form of assessment, but the concept of personality types is the same. In fact, I have used all different manners of tests to show students that they have a set or best practices method of learning and some of them even advanced to leadership roles in groups/projects because of this.
Understanding one's personality traits helps in trying to manage and motive a student. Knowing what excites them.
