Hi
and welcome to the latest post from Under Blue Skies. This week I have been on the receiving end of
a lot of communication from various sources and I was prompted to do a little bit
of research to determine how people who shared certain characteristics could be
grouped together. During that research I
stumbled across this piece.
The
piece was a part of a study paper on Spiral Dynamics and the author is unknown
to me so sadly I cannot add a credit. (if anyone recognises the work then
please let me know in order that I may give the author a proper credit)
So
the characteristics are assigned a colour and in no
BEIGE Instinctive/Survival “Life is survival”
Very
limited self-awareness, relies on instincts and habits to survive. Motivated by
food, water, warmth, sex, and safety. Group together to survive
ORANGE Achievist/Strategic “Life
is what we have and own”.
Motivated
by risk-taking, competition, status and image Self-reliant people deserve
success. Societies prosper through strategy, technology, and competitiveness
Earth's resources should be used to create and spread the abundant good life
GREEN Communitarian /
Egalitarian “Life is community and precious”
Motivated
to free society from greed, dogma, selfishness and divisiveness, need to
prioritise feelings, sensitivity and caring.
Earth’s
resources are limited and precious, thus should be shared equally among
everyone.
All
decisions should be made through reconciliation and consensus processes.
YELLOW Integrative 'Life is
learning and continual change'
Motivated
to learn and understand the complex it is of life. Material possessions become
far less important to the magnificence of learning and life. Flexibility and
functionality in the long term, becomes the highest priority. Weaknesses and
differences are expected and integrated into interdependence, development and
the big picture Chaos and change are expected, natural and appreciated as part
of human evolution.
TURQUOISE Holistic - 'Life is an
evolving interactive whole”
Motivated
to help everything connect together into a single, dynamic organism with its
own collective mind
Self
is both distinct and a blended part of a larger compassionate whole.
Holistic,
intuitive thinking and co-operative actions are to be expected
BLUE Purposeful /
Authoritarian “life is Gods Will and Law”
Sacrifices
self to the “Cause, Truth or Pathway”
Motivated
by following constitutions, commandments, laws or codes based on absolute principle
Believe
following the principles produces a good society now and reward will be in the
future
Impulsivity
is controlled through guilt, “common sense” rules behaviour
Children
should be educated to follow rules, conform and conserve the system
RED Impulsive / Egocentric
“Life is a battleground”
Motivated
to please self, very selfish
Expects
everything
Appreciates
almost nothing
Demands
(not earn) attention and respect
Wants
everything right now
Feels
no guilt or remorse, keen to beat, conquer, out-fox and dominate others
PURPLE Magical / Animistic
“Life is in the lap of the Gods”
Motivated
by strong allegiance to chief, elders, ancestors and the individual subsumed in
group
Believes
in the spiritual and mystical. Sacred
objects, places, events, rites and customs esssential
So

particular colour and is that akin to your characteristics?
Please
let me know your results in the comments section.
