This document discusses the four main temperament types - Blue, Green, Gold, and Orange - based on a temperament assessment. It provides characteristics, strengths, opportunities for growth, values, and childhood tendencies for each type. Blues value harmony and cooperation, Greens value intelligence and ideas, Golds value responsibility and tradition, and Oranges value action and opportunities. Each section outlines how people of that type can best function and what might frustrate them. The document aims to help with self-identification and understanding of one's own and others' temperaments.
