True Colors is a personality profiling system created by Don Lowry in 1978.
[1] It was originally created to categorize at risk youth[2] into four basic learning styles using the colors blue, orange, gold and green to identify the strengths and challenges of these core personality types.
True Colors is a way to understand the behaviors and motivations of others relative to our own personalities to help mitigate potential conflict by learning to recognize personality differences and characteristics.
Furthermore, subjects rated the predictions that the True Colors system made about them as accurate.
Subjects retested after a 30 to 50 day delay were given the same classification ~95% of the time.
