- GREEN=Excellent Problem Solvers Born in 1875, Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of the extraverted and the introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, literature, and related fields. Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung’s theories
- ORANGE=Natural Negotiators Born in 1897 in Atchison Kansas, Amelia Mary Earhart, was an American aviation pioneer and author. She was the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Her spirit of adventure was evident even as a child when in 1904, with the help of her uncle, she cobbled together a home-made ramp fashioned after a roller coaster she had seen on a trip to St. Louis and secured the ramp to the roof of the family toolshed. Earhart’s well-documented first flight ended dramatically. She emerged from the broken wooden box that had served as a sled with a bruised lip, torn dress and a “sensation of exhilaration.” She exclaimed, “Oh, it’s just like flying!”
- GOLD=Natural Leaders Born in 1863 on his family’s farm near Dearborn, Michigan Henry Ford’s natural abilities became evident early on, when at 15 years of age his father gifted him a pocket watch, which he promptly took apart and reassembled. Friends and neighbors were impressed and requested that he fix their timepieces too. Unsatisfied with farm work, Ford left home the next year, at age 16, to take an apprenticeship as a machinist in Detroit. In the years that followed, he would learn to skillfully operate and service steam engines, and would also study bookkeeping. Ford would later go on to create the Ford Model T car in 1908 and to develop the assembly line mode of production, which revolutionized the automobile industry.

The speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century by a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.
