Hi, Jeremy.

I’m just wondering… I have an employee who took the assessment and came out nearly 25% in each of the Colors. Is that even possible, and what does it mean?

Thanks!

Danny

Dear Danny,

Thanks for the question. It’s a good one, and I’m happy to provide you with some insight here.

The good news is that you have probably not hired somebody with multiple personality disorder. :)In fact, an almost even split on a Color Code Personality Assessment is actually not terribly uncommon.

The truth is, there is only one Color capable of scoring almost equally across the board (unless somebody is just trying to cheat the system, of course). We call them the chameleons of the Color Code, and if you haven’t guessed which Color that describes by this point, I’ll help you out.

They are the Whites.

Whites are typically very adaptable, go-with-the-flow kinds of people. We call them the chameleons of the Color Code, because they have a way of just blending in with the wallpaper wherever they go. They have little ego, the attention doesn’t always have to be on them (in fact, most Whites would prefer it not to be), and their logical, self-regulated nature allows them to step into certain roles when necessary, step back out again, and then transition into something new.They can score almost equally in all four Colors, because when they are thinking back to the way they were as children, they can see themselves ebbing and flowing – much like a mountain stream – around different situations, obstacles, and environments.
It is important to remember with Whites, however, that whatever role they step into, whether that is the role of a 1st responder who needs to take control in the wake of a major disaster, or a professional basketball player called upon to nail two clutch free throws to win a big game, or even that of a charge nurse in the O.R., when they find themselves “off the clock” again, they typically come back to their natural oftentimes introverted behavior.
To further clarify what we mean by an “almost even” split, what we generally observe is that on the Color Code Assessment, if the difference between a person’s highest score and their lowest score is 6 percentage points or less, that person is usually a White, motivated by Peace.
And while that’s pretty normal for them, it sure does keep the rest of us guessing, unless you know what you’re looking for.
Thanks for the question, Danny. I hope that helps. Let us know if we can do anything else for you.Very best of living,
