Since I've started my journey into color I wanted to share some of it with you. Of course I'm not going to give it all away, I want you to want to know more, but I'm going to attempt (subject to my crazy schedule) to post some information about a color every day for the next 12 days or so - enough that you'll be amazed at its accuracy and be dying to know more! Today we are going to start off with the personality profile....
Start by choosing which color you MOST prefer (which one your eye can't seem to help but be drawn to).
You'll be amazed at what I can tell you about yourself just by answering this simple question. Tomorrow I'll begin revealing the profiles. Post your answer in the comments and I'll include your name (unless you ask me not to) with the profiles tomorrow. This is a fun exercise to teach us all about each other...
Don't look at anyone else's answer until after you post yours!! We don't want anyone else's answer to influence yours.

This information is based on the Dewey Color System created by Dewey Sadka. With his intuitive people skills and motivational ability, he created a multi-patented system that is now the world's first scientifically valid, color-based personality test.
Why you should know about color:
When a person surrounds themselves with their preferred colors, they are in fact subconsciously encouraging their hopes and aspirations. Non-preferred colors irritatingly give them the courage to see what they have a tendency to avoid.
Classes begin in Charleston, SC January 2009!

Because I think I should play too (I'll show you mine, if you show me yours) ... mine is Blue.
Sounds like fun. Mine is RED!
BLUE ~ :-D
Blue, blue, blue!
Michele - Thanks for playing!
Connie - You are a blue too, huh?
Elaine - Was that blue? I'm not quite sure. You waffled a bit there....
Where's the green? I like green, but in these three choices, i'd say red!
Heather
Heather - the green will come later! For now I've got you down for RED....
RED attracts my eye the most here!
Seems I'm alone here so far, but I'm drawn to the yellow.
Fernando - somehow I'm not surprised.... lol
Sheridan - Don't worry, no color is wrong or bad.... you'll be surprised at what it says about you though!
Blue too!
Definitely RED.
I like the green as I am color blind assuming it is red on your spectrum, so what happens now
Where is the Purple or Violet?!?! OK I will settle for the blue. It is cool and soothing color I can't seem to look away.
yellow is my choice
Danielle
RED, no doubt. And yes I want to play too. Can't wait to see what that says about me. I really don't have any red anywhere except in my wardrobe, but that was the one I couldn't not look at.
My color would be red.
Lyvia May
Red for me, Melissa! Love to wear it & decorate with it!
Out of these three colors the color that just pops for me is the yellow. (Patty)
I'm stuck between blue and red. If I thought about having to live in a room painted one of those colours I guess I'd have to pick blue...as the colours are above.
But if we could add grey to the colours...I'd pick red.
I'm gravitating to the B-L-U-E.
BLUE
Another Blue here.
I'm interested in seeing your response.
Hi Melissa! Oh what fun! I am drawn to the color blue.
David - I totally see you as blue!
Robin - gotcha down for RED
James - let me quote here... "The system is still functional. It will just take you longer to make your choices. So, take your time. Generally, you will dislike the colors you cannot see. You will have an emotional need to learn and express what these color areas represent."
Betina - the other colors will come - right now we are working on personality and we have to pick a primary.
Danielle - yellow it is!
Tammy - it's funny because I have a lot of red around me for work, but none in my home. I learned about that too and will eventually share about it here in the rain. You may want to subscribe to my blog and keep posted!
Lyvia - I'm seeing more and more red in this group... interesting.
I wonder how many REDS are Agents and how many are stagers... I'll have to track that too!
Kathy - got it!
Patty - gotcha down for yellow... thanks for playing!
Dane - it's not about how you would like to decorate, but rather which one is your eye drawn to?
Emma - Blue was also my fav....
Susan, Carolyn & Pamela - more blues!
I can't wait to share the results with you!
Wow - I just noticed that there is an AR GOD gold star on this post!!! Thank you so much!!
Now the question is, did they add their color? or is it automatically yellow by default? (Gold Star)
LOL, I needed a fun thing to do today - I pick YELLOW!
I want to play! This will be fun...I'm RED all the way--I drive a red convertible :-)

Sandy - glad to be of help!
Anne - no waffling there, huh? RED it is....
In case anyone is interested in a count....
Blue - 9 (4 Agents/5 Stagers)
Red - 9 (only two are stagers)
Yellow - 4 (only 1 is a stager)
Yellow
blue
Red for me.
Thanks for playing Charles!
Whoops! Thanks for playing both Charles'!
Thank you also for playing Beatrice....
Aloha Mellisa,
Oh, what fun! Blue
But, I do like red a lot just not so bright.
I'll pass on the yellow, I prefer it a little warmer, more orange.
Kimo - a fellow blue.... gotcha down....
Blue for me too!
I am a red for sure!!!
By the way what does this have to do with real estate? Not that I care,but I once got my hand slapped for posting a non real estate item......
Cool idea for a post, Melissa. I pick blue, always been my fave :)
Judy - you've joined the biggest group here... the blue group!
Lori - gotcha down for RED. What it will show is how your personality helps you in your chosen profession, what it means about you & how you can use it to strengthen your business!!!
Kristina - another blue... thanks!
I am so much a lover of red. I just put new window coverings in my office. They are a deep, rich, vibrant red and it is already making difference about how I feel about going there to work.
Definitely Blue! How Fun!
Red for me
I'm in for RED!
I choose BLUE Please!
RED for me.
Add me to the RED count.
Blue - looking forward to the results. Sue White
I zeroed in on the blue although I'd have to say I might like a different shade of that color better. I'll stay tuned.
Where's green? :-)
I'm red all the way through. Though I thought I liked another color better
Red is definelty my color!!
It's blue for me :-)
Red
Yellow. This sounds like fun.
I like the red, red, red.... ;)
Well, the REDS have pulled ahead (not that this is a contest, but for tabulations it is interesting!)
Blue - 18 - Agents (9), Stagers (8), Other (1)
Red - 21 - Agents (12), Stagers (6), Other (3)
Yellow - 6 - Agents (5), Stagers (1)
I am finding the calculations interesting in themselves!
Michelle D. - That is one of the big points of learning about color! It can help you be more productive.
Diane - Welcome to the Blues
Randy - I think that was a pretty firm statement
Ronelle & Donna - more reds, wow!
Michele H - gotcha down...
Blue
Rosalinda & Julie - thanks for playing. I've got you down....
Cindy - we are only working with primary colors today...
Russ & Diane - I would never thought I would have picked blue myself, but my eye kept going there. That's what it takes... I've got your choices on my list.
Sue - I'll have the results tomorrow....
Melissa & Dawn - RED it is then...
Wanda - thanks for playing...
Barbara - one of the few yellows... gotcha down....
Judi - what are you trying to say?
Kathleen - almost missed you there. Thanks for the blue vote.
Thought we were talking hair color..Clairol number 26 or something from the headline! Good post! Put me down for red!
Andrew - pretty funny!! Actually, the ironic thing is that I did get my hair colored today.... so maybe subliminally it was.....
Melissa - I always paint my office walls a bright yellow, and I like red accents.
I hope you'll also talk about which colors elicit what responses for clients - what color walls for a closing room, for an initial conference, for work rooms, for reception rooms ....
Sharon - I will discuss a lot of that in future blogs. For this exercise I need to know which of the 3 colors your eye was drawn to, not what colors you decorate in.
No doubt about it: RED
I'm definitely a RED - I painted the majority of the two main rooms of my home brick red. My bedroom has a burgunday accent wall behind my bed.
OK - now that I'm allowed to peek at the responses I see that I wasn't supposed to pick my decorating colors. Regardless, I'm still red (although the yellow was eye catching as well.
blue
red, you are going to be quite busy with all of these responses.
BLUE
I am yellow! kh
DEFINITELY YELLOW >>>>MELLOW YELLOW!
Although
isn't really my favorite color, it's my choice based on the selection.
RED! I could have sworn i commented on this last night so don't count me twice if I did, but somewhere between a Proxy server error and other pixies in the machine I just don't see it in my notes.
RED! RED! RED! Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm red. Is that good? ;) Let me know!
Blue for sure. So cool of you, thanks.
What happened to secondary colors such as GREEN....that's my FAV!!!!
Ok, I went out to dinner and had 20 more comments... wow, who knew this would be this popular?
Vicki - Red, got it
Kathryn - no, not your decorating colors, but I've still got you for red based on your later info...
Maureen - blue (hmmmm... my husband grew up in Michigan and his longest family friends are McCabes... you don't happen to know the Marros do you?)
Angelia - you have no idea!! I'm glad I started the list early....
Debbie - by blue sister....
Kate & Marcia - ah, more yellows - such a short list (in comparison)'
Ruth - Red is down
(has anyone noticed only the RED personalities feel the need to copy the color in their answers?)
Cat - I only posted this early today, so unless it was another blog somewhere else (how weird would that be?)
Well deep purple is my favorite color, BUT if I had to pick I would pick RED!
Joanna - lol... there is no good or bad, there is only 'is'.... lol
Crystal - blue, gotcha!
Ruthmarie - we'll do secondary colors on a different day, today is primary colors....
Vickie - one more red... what a popular group you are!
Melissa ~ Red here!
Kathy - got it!!
HI MELISSA!
My fave color is RED!! It is OK if you use my name :o) Thanks, I'm so excited!
Yellow would be the color I was drawn to.
Yvette - can't wait to share the meanings with you!
Sandy - gotcha down on the list!
I'll play, Red is the one for me.
I love yellow. I have always craved creating a huge yellow painting.
Definately blue - I cant wait to hear what this means.....
oops - I was the last blue comment. I forgot to log in first. I guess blue = forgetful!! LOL
What no purple? Oh wait red and blue make purple so it is there. Yea!
well....
but I kept going back and forth from red to blue, blue to red. What does Dewey say about that?
Blue!
This sounds like fun, I have to say mine is
Red is one of my favorite colors. Although I like blues, when you have the two together I have to go with red. Thanks for doing this, look forward to the results.
Melissa, I love this! I chose all yellows and blues for my home---but I'm a YELLOW. It feels like sunshine to me :)
Blue was the first reaction - however after looking at it a bit longer I am drawn to yellow! blue - no yellow.
OK, YELLOW! ~Rita
Hi Melissa,
My favorite color is blue!
Thank you,
Laura Cerrano
I am very blue blue blue. Blue is my favorite color. Thank you for this post. It made me think.
OK, I'm curious. Since green isn't an option, I'll go with Blue.
Lavender, or lilac - love anything that's lavender or lilac.
Melissa, sorry. Guess I was playing this wrongly. If there's only yellow, blue or red, I would choose
If you add more colors, I hope you'll include lavender or lilac the next time.
REDHEADS LIKE RED (And I want Judi Morgan's RED, it's huge). lol!
Yellow, for sure. Sunny, warm. buttery, wonderful, yellow!!!!!
Red
blue AND yellow if that is ok
Yellow.
Definitely yellow.
Red, red, red for me!
An associate recently gave me a link to the dewey personality test - it was great fun, very interesting and definitely spot on!!
Debbie Malone -- you can't have my red -- but I'll share it with you :)
Blue...
Wow!!! Thanks so many for playing... I'm about to release the reveals. They will take a while to write, if only for the list of each of you who played!!! I'm so excited so many of you came along!!
To those I haven't answered your comments. I promise I got you down on my list!!
What a hard choice. I think I am more drawn to the red but I like yellow.
I hope its not too late to play.. I am drawn to YELLOW
Yellow, but green is my favorite color.
Profiles are now posted:

Melissa,
Of course, BLUE is my favorite color--don't know what that says about me--but blue has always been my favorite color.
I keep going back and forth between blue and yellow. Blue caught my eye first, so I'll say blue.
