Gets at some points... misses the mark on others. Like with any business-centric behavioural book, there's the overwhelming tendency to think in terms of isolated categories of human behaviours. Some psychological concepts, like attachment theory, are more flexible. However, this book (despite how it claims most people are a combination of colours) groups personality traits in isolation to the point where each category seems like a caricature. The Red category for instance is described with almost only negative terms, while the more feelings-oriented categories mostly use amenable, desirable language. Consequently, I think this book confuses personal traits too much with induced reactions between people with conflicting personality types. Someone who feels uncomfortable or stifled might react like a Red and become louder and more opinionated and brash or like a blue and withdraw. However, had Red's peers been less defensive and open minded a Red might show other traits. The same appears for the other types, such as the yellow with the 'dream like' tendencies. As well, many of the theories in this book tend to not address traits of neurodiverse people. The Red archetype strongly resembles individuals with ADHD or high functioning Asperger's, while the blues or greens are more in line with anxiety disorders. Psychiatrists in this genre I find are better able to untangle the nuance at play that a book like this throws away because it complicates its simple categories.

Surround By Idiots - Highly Recommend for Everyone. This book is a great resource to better understand your personality and how it is perceived by others in any social environment as well as adjusting your ego to engage with those persons and their personalities. This book should be read by every employee and employer. The author has a humorous and real world approach while educating the reader. People often get marginalized and labelled because of their personalities but this book shows that although you have categorize personality characteristics, it’s not to pigeon hole someone but how to better interact with them on a neutral level. Loved it !
