The True Colors system of categorinzing personalities assigns colors to describe four different personality types. Blue individuals tend to be friendly, cooperative, cause-oriented, and sensitive to the needs of others. Gold individuals are planners who like structure and are loyal, organized, and determined. Green individuals are competent, independent and visionary. Orange individuals are active, kinesthetic, and somewhat flamboyant. To me, it seems an oversimplification of human nature, which is very complex, and it seems it would be difficult to try to categorize the learners in an online course without seeing what they wear, how they speak, or how they behave, outside of observed interactions with other students, which may still not present an accurate picture and would come to late to help design the course according to their personalities. However, any inkling of where particular students may fit could be helpful in determining collaborative project groups to ensure the best skills of each type are represented in each group.
