Turquois is a combination of blue-green.

When I was teaching, we used to use an interesting system to analyze a student’s focus area.

The system was called “Winning Colors” and it was interesting how accurate we found it to be in analyzing the personality traits and abilities of certain students. There were the four basic colors cards: Red Bown, Green and Blue. The students were given all four colored cards, and they were asked to look at the front of the card which has a whole series of pictures. The idea was for them to pick out the card that best described them in your case it might have been “Green”.

The traits of someone who is “Green” is they like changes and improvements they’re dreamers they are generally artistic and analytical in their thinking they liked being their best caring and venting always seeking more knowledge extracting information listening and they want to know their future, and they want to be free in thought. In most cases they love the sciences and mathematics, and they are detailed planners.

The “Blue” in the “Turquoise” color would indicate that you are a Relater you like being with people you like dealing with people friendly giving you see everything and you like to talk, you tend to be romantic. your catch phrase would be “let’s get along with each other”, I am wanting people to like me.

Now when we would turn the cards over, we would ask them to reanalyze themselves.

The “Green” color was referred to as the “Planner”. The statement on the card is “the planner part of me is very strong. I’m quiet and I only speak when I’m sure that people will not laugh or make fun of me. I like to be correct and do things right. I look at all of the details and like everything to be perfect. I’d like to listen to other people’s inner world and see what makes them tick. I enjoy science fiction. I would like to explore the universe. I love to make and think about new things that no one has ever thought of before. I am calm, cool and collected on the outside but not always on the inside. I hide my strong feelings. I keep a secret like a tomb. I want to think and dream.

Ask yourself these following questions Is this a part of your vocabulary:

I like talking about important and deep things, I like thinking things out step by step and that makes sense to me. I like solving mysteries of all kinds. I am creative and like discovering things. I like to be part of change and revolution let’s be serious and truly listen.

And then the back of the card also had a list of people and locations that these various attributes and behaviors would be exhibited by.

When we dealt with the “Blue” card, the,” Relator Card”, The relater part of me is very strong I love being with people. I want many friends and love to talk a lot. My feelings are very strong, and I show them easily. I do not like to be left alone. I like to touch things. I like it when people praise and pay attention to me. I want to be loved and belonged.

The relator’s vocabulary read something to the effect, “I want to love and feel with people, I love talking about other people’s problems. I like pretty, colorful clothes and things. Honest feelings and friendly people are more important to me than things. Hugs are special when I choose, I like to do fun things, let’s get along and work together.”

I found over the years that these cards were very accurate. And determining a person’s personality. As a teacher gave me some personal direction on things like careers. It gave me a chance to help them with some of the problems that they might have. For example a Blue person wears their heart on their sleeve, they want to love everybody and be loved by everybody, and they want to help people. It’s a very noble trait, and something that as a teacher I was able to use in my classroom to help that student make it through some difficult times.

“Greens,” my “Planners”, would get very frustrated with things because they wanted things in a nice neat orderly package and sometimes that just didn’t work out very well. But when it came time to helping write lesson plans, or reviewing things, were working with my computers they were the first persons that I went to.

So, with your decisions to pick “Turquoise” as your favorite color I wonder if you are not a “Blue Green” person, or possibly a “Green-Blue” That would tell me a lot about you just in the few things that I’ve seen you write so far. As we age our preferences tend to blend and we adapt to a unity color, in your case “Turquois”.

A number of years ago I was going through physical therapy I had torn my rotator cuff while I was hiking up on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. I fell off a rock face about 8 feet and landed on my shoulder. A lot of pain. I ended up hiking 280 miles up to the top of Mount Katahdin that way. When I returned home I had surgery and an extensive 8 weeks of physical therapy.

My physical therapist and I became very good friends and I was telling mark about this Winning Colors program that we used in school, and his wife who also worked with him asked me to analyze there are three children. So I gave them some of the materials and the cards and asked them to do their sort of the cards to determine what their best card was what their second best card was what their neutral card was and what their worst card was from there I developed a personality statement for each one of them gave it to them and I thought nothing of it for the next 10 years.

Last month my wife went through hip replacement surgery then we went back to my physical therapist hurry recovery therapy. His wife was working one afternoon and when I was there and she got me off the side and said Pete do you remember that report that you did on my kids many years ago? Well I found it a few months ago when I was looking through some old papers. So I asked her how accurate we had been with that assessment while they were in high school. It turned out that it was spot on. Every one of the career fields that we had indicated they might be interested in is where they had gotten their education and we’re now working.

Their relationships had developed along the same lines as the prospectus that we had made many years ago. They were all married with children at this point and each of them were quite secure in their careers and their family lives. Which is what we had anticipated.

So, if you’re a “Turquoise”, you might be a blend of both the “Blue” and the “Green” personalities. Now I’ve never met you. But it’ll be interesting for you to comment on this assessment and see how accurate it is. Just from what little I know about you.

Enjoy. “Hardcharger”
