PERSONALITY TEST

A while ago our Pastor gave a web site to the congregation to see what type of personality we might have. This, giving us an insight on why you do what you do; and how to use that information with your spiritual gifts.

I had my whole family take this test. It was a fun little exercise for us to do. We got to take a deeper look into each others personality. The results were pretty spot on! My children loved the perspective that this color code test gave.

While I only did this for fun, it turned into something more. I took a more in depth look at my children's results, and have mentally used that to teach them and raise them!

Two of my children are YELLOWS- according to the test, their personality is fun, spontaneous, enthusiastic. But what struck me the most is that the yellows, need to be praised, they need to be noticed and felt accepted.

As a homeschooling mom, let's just say patience is something I haven't mastered. If my two yellows, were working on a test and didn't do well, they would feel very upset. They would dwell on it, and it would or could ruin the rest of their day. Normally, tempers would flair, frustration would be apparent, and all of us drained. Since the test, the more positive feed back I give them, about working harder, giving me 110 % even if they don't do well is good enough for me. Has completely changed the way they do their work! Their need for feeling accepted, and receiving praise has changed the way I do things with them now. We work together to figure out what the underling problem is. My yellows have been happier and more confident in themselves. For that I am thankful.

My other child is a RED- The only RED in the family. The red thrives on Power. She's dedicated, hardworking, high achieving. This changed the way I taught her because she has such high expectations. I cheer her on, and support her to the fullest. She has more dreams of doing something great that I've ever known a person to have. You know what.... I believe she'll accomplish all of them.

My husband and I are both BLUES - We thrive on connection, and making meaningful relationships. We are loyal and thoughtful people. He and I happen to work well together. :)
