(the short version)

Mental Health Clinic: TSgt Donald Wheat

Overview

Goal

Through this briefing participants will:

• Discover the qualities and characteristics of their own particular

personality style or type; while also gaining an understanding of other

personality styles.

• The belief is that with increased understanding of ourselves and others

that conflict will decrease. Once you learn your color and that of your

co-workers, you will have a better understanding of why they behave

the way they do!

Key Concepts

• Each person is a unique blend of the four colors or styles—a spectrum.
