We had to do Insights Discovery training at one of my old jobs, which simplifies this to four ‘colour energies’ to make it easier to remember.

My manager after this starting reducing everyone’s behaviours down to their assigned colours; my coworker wasn’t a condescending prick, he was just ‘being very red, which was good for the group colour balance’.

The trainer also stated that outsourced public project cost overrruns are due to ‘too many yellow energy managers’.
