Ask the Expert – Why Motive?

Let me tell you why the concept of MOTIVE will change your life. Here's a quick thought for you that I hope makes a lot of sense. Unless you've been a stranger to the Color Code system, or if perhaps you only know us casually because you took Color Code Profile out of curiosity (or something like that), you know that we are all about understanding people's MOTIVES. Motive is everything to the Color Code. It's our "secret sauce," if you will. (Psst - don't tell anybody I told you that!) ;) But it's true. That's what we are all about.

Test Yourself–The Color of US Presidents

Last year, we had fun asking you to quick code the personalities of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy and George HW Bush. We thought we'd keep the tradition going. This year, in honor of President’s day, we are digging deeper.
