What are the Color Code Personality Types?

Dr. Taylor Hartman created The Color Code Personality Type, or The People Code, which classifies Personality Types by Core Motives.

It helps you understand an individual’s motives and the “Why people do what they do” to gain insight into people’s behavior and build more effective relationships with the people you interact with regularly.

The system helps you recognize your innate strengths and limitations and shows you how to use those traits in your personal and professional life.

The Color Code Personality Type system is similar to the four core Personality Temperaments. Still, it focuses more on the individual’s core motivations.

Personality Temperaments, Traits, and Types

Personality Temperaments, Personality Traits, and Personality Types are used in Psychology to discuss a person’s Personality, a collection of Emotions, Perceptions, and Actions that interact with each other, regulate themselves, and shape a dynamic system that forms a person’s Behavioral Patterns.

Your inherited traits (your personality Temperance) and acquired traits (such as education, socialization, and other various pressures and aspects) form your Personality.

A Personality Type identifies a specific collection of Traits, both learned and natural, that comprise a broad, general Personality Classification—a way of labeling a collection of traits and behaviors.

A Personality Trait remains consistent and stable over time, which means you exhibit the same pattern across different situations and throughout your life.

Three criteria characterize Personality Traits: (1) consistency, (2) stability, and (3) individual differences. For example, if you are talkative at home, you also tend to be talkative at work. And if you were talkative at age 20, you would still be chatty at age 40.

Personality Temperament is your “Naturally Intuitive” biological Trait. These Traits are partly inherited from your genes and partially determined by your brainstem, which doesn’t change throughout your life. These are Natural Traits regarded as innate or inborn and not learned.

Your Personality Temperament is formed as an infant and is hard to modify, manipulate, or change because it is genetic. In some way or another, your inherited behavioral tendency will always be there.

Personality Traits are quantitative differences between people, and Personality Types are qualitative differences between people. The most crucial difference between the Trait Theory and the Type Theory is that the Type Theory views people’s characteristics as discrete categories. In contrast, the Trait Theory views these characteristics as a continuum.

For example, while a Type Theorist would claim that introverts and extraverts are two types of people, a Trait Theorist claims that extraversion is a gradient, and individuals can fall somewhere in the middle.

Your Temperaments, along with acquired Traits, form your Personality.
