My first day back not only included extensive background information on soap operas I'll never watch, but also a free psychological evaluation.

Rene attended a leadership class where they had her take this "True Color Personality Test" and she had so much fun, she forced it in all of us.

The test had us all rate groups of adjectives based on how well we thought they described us. Then you added up the numbers you had in certain groups of words and got your color.

You added up your rating for five groups of adjectives for each color, so 20 points is the highest you can get in any single category.

Your color tells you your personality traits:
Gold: Well-planned, traditional, convservative, predictable and precise
Orange: Playful, energetic, quick witted, creative, impulsive
Blue: Optimistic, passionate, cause oriented, mediator, motivates others
Green: Intellectual, philosophical, standard setters, visionaries

Yours truly ended up with 20 orange, 13 green, 10 blue and 7 gold.

Overall we have a pretty good mix in the newsroom, the majority of people are blue and green with only two of us having the majority in orange, but there was a third who was only one point off.

So the two of us get crazy and everyone else keeps us grounded. Sounds about right.

Three of the newsroom staff hadn't taken the test at the time of this blog post.
