About True ColorsTM and How it Works

For the past 35 years, Dr. David Keirsey has been refining the work of Katherine C. Briggs and Isabel Briggs-Myers who developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Through MBTI, its authors show that human behavior is orderly and can be characterized by different personality types. Dr. Keirsey, in his book Please Understand Me, described personality types in four groups. His wok provides the basis for True ColorsTM metaphor.

Don Lowry created the metaphor, True ColorsTM, to translate the personality and learning theory into practical information we can all understand and use. Throughout the years, True Colors has developed an easy and entertaining way to understand ourselves and others. Keys To Personal Success Facilitator’s Guide is a series of courses and procedures for teaching and applying the concepts presented in the True Colors metaphor.

bulletIdentification with these differences can be accomplished through the use of metaphors such as “characters” and “color”
 
bulletEntertainment is the most broadly appealing and universal context for communicating these messages.
