Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The key differences between Equilibria’s four E-Colors are as follows:

  • Yellow: the yellow personality style is typically characterized as the Socializer, very oriented towards people and action. This style helps us thrive in social settings, tap into our creativity and be spontaneous, it’s the part of our personality that values freedom and flexibility.
  • Green: the green personality style is typically characterized as the Thinker, very oriented towards task and information. This style helps us analyze information, work independently and be methodical, it’s the part of our personality that values accuracy and precision.
  • Blue: the blue personality style is typically characterized as the Relater, very oriented towards people and information. This style helps us harmonize, support, cooperate and be empathetic, it’s the part of our personality that values relationships and connections.
  • Red: the red personality style is typically characterized as the Doer, very oriented towards task and action. This style helps us make decisions, set goals, take charge and be assertive, it’s the part of our personality that values achievement and results.

It's important to note that while individuals may lean into a dominant E-Color, all 4 E-Colors as within us, the key being how we intentionally manage our personality-based tendencies. The E-Colors framework is intended to provide a general understanding of personality traits and tendencies and is not meant to be a definitive characterization of an individual.

 

It is possible for your E-Colors to change over time or depending on your environment. While individuals typically have a personality style that remains relatively stable throughout their life, it is not uncommon for individuals to exhibit different E-Colors driven behaviors in different situations or contexts.


For example, someone with a dominant green personality may exhibit more yellow traits when they are in a social setting, such as a party or networking event. Similarly, someone with a dominant red personality may exhibit more Blue traits when they are working in a team environment, as they may need to be more collaborative and supportive of their colleagues.


Additionally, individuals may experience changes in their dominant E-Color as they grow and develop over time. For example, someone who is naturally introverted and analytical may develop more extroverted and creative traits over time as they gain more life experience and become more comfortable expressing themselves. When we talk about personality tendencies, we are talking about our default or natural go-to tendencies, not our managed responses.


Overall, the E-Colors framework is intended to be a tool for personal growth and development, and while usually stable, individuals may experience changes in their E-Colors as they continue to learn and grow throughout their life.

The Equilibria E-Colors are not intended to be a discriminatory mechanism. The E-Colors framework is designed to help individuals better understand themselves and others by identifying dominant traits and tendencies. It is intended to be a tool for personal growth and development, as well as for improving communication and relationships with others.


However, like any personality tool, there is the potential for the E-Colors framework to be misused or misinterpreted. It is important to use the E-Colors in a constructive and respectful manner, and not to use it as a means of labeling or stereotyping individuals based on their dominant color.

 

Having multiple E-Colors results does not mean there is anything wrong or unusual about the individual. Instead, it simply means that the individual has an equal balance of primary or secondary E-Colors.  In this situation, our system displays both possible combinations.


We recommend reading each descriptor to decide which combination relates to you the most.

Yes, the E-Colors can be used at home as a tool for personal growth and development, as well as for improving communication and relationships with family members and loved ones.


By understanding your own dominant E-Color and those of your family members, you can gain insights into your own personality traits and tendencies, as well as those of your loved ones. This can help you to better communicate with them and understand their perspectives.

By identifying your dominant E-Colors and learning how to leverage your strengths and manage your potential limiters, you can become a more self-aware and effective individual.
