Personality Colours is a compact personality questionnaire in which the most important personality characteristics are displayed as colours:
Application Personality Colours provides insight into a candidate’s personality and style of collaboration. Strengths, pitfalls, work styles and communication styles are all covered. The questionnaire maps out the way the candidate tends to act and provides advice on how someone prefers — and prefers not — to be approached by others. The questionnaire is therefore broadly applicable, particularly as a starting point for personal and professional development. Primary areas are coaching, training and (organisational) development. We consider this questionnaire unsuitable for selection. For that purpose we recommend the Work-related Personality Inventory.
Development It is our ambition to offer a sound, reliable and normed personality questionnaire that provides clearly readable and usable information to gain insight into personality, collaboration, work styles and communication. To this end, the scientific basis of the Big Five model has been combined with a more practice-oriented presentation of the results. This presentation uses the circumplex methodology, meaning that combinations of factors are examined. The results shown in the report are always based on combinations of the most extreme scores (high or low).

Reporting Considerable attention has been paid to the descriptions you can read in the report, so that they are personal, striking and compact.
The report contains the following sections:
Strengths – a number of your strongest points based on your most notable personality characteristics
Pitfalls – overview of pitfalls and learning points, and your most likely challenges
Work style – How do you approach your work? Which tasks suit you well? In which work situations do you perform at your best?
Communication style – How do you convey information? How do others receive your communication? How can others best communicate with you?
The right approach – How can colleagues and managers approach you in the right way? How can they help you avoid pitfalls? How can they help you stay motivated and work efficiently?
The wrong approach – How should colleagues and managers not approach you? What kinds of tasks suit you less well? What demotivates you? What form of management is ineffective for you?
