BLUE
- Personality Characteristics
Easy to understand
- Once learned
- Never forgotten!
EACH COLOUR STANDS FOR A CERTAIN WAY OF BEHAVING, FEELING AND BEING.
The Withdrawal Influence:
BLUE
'Behaviour and attitudes associated with the trend of moving away from people,
such as a strong need for privacy'.
The Withdrawal Influence displays the resigning solution to life that drives a person to move away from other people in order to maintain an emotional distance. They have a strong and continuous need for distance and discretion, an urge to analyse, be rational and reserved. The strong
blue
influence displays these needs towards everyone.
Blue
influence means having patience, being thoughtful, thinking things through carefully and being precise. Everything a strongly
blue
influenced person does comes down to one major underlying behavioural motive which is:
‘If I withdraw – Nothing can hurt me!’
Blue
influenced personalities avoid quick decisions, the pressure of deadlines and all things they cannot control. The success of
blue
influenced people comes through argument and precision in their communication.
They need to feel in control, need to feel the future is manageable and that they are prepared at all times for any eventualities. Because
blue
influenced people are risk averse and cannot accept uncertainties they will always need the precaution of assurance as to the detail. They have a clear manifestation that they are unique, different and apart from everyone else i.e. total individualists.
Blue
influenced personalities often have difficulty expressing their feelings toward other people, particularly feelings of love and hate. For them intimacy can lead to conflict therefore they need a long time to establish relationships with others and it can take even longer to fully trust another person. Because of this constriction of their emotions,
blue
influenced personalities place great emphasis on reason, logic, and intelligence.
Others need to make decisions and push them through whilst the
blue
influenced personality will calculate the reasons, risks and outcomes first. They need an environment with access to, and an understanding for, research, investigation, analysis and planning. To really understand the tasks they are given they require a precise and unambiguous job specification.
