True Colors is a personality profile system created by Don Lowry in 1978. Originally created to categorize four basic learning styles using blue, orange, gold and green to identify these core strengths and challenges of personality type. According to this personality temperament theory, which is an enhanced version of the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, each person's personality consists of a combination of four colors, with two dominant colors representing the core of one's personality temperament. In general, the type of green personality is an independent thinker, the golden personality type is a pragmatic planner, the orange personality type is very action-oriented, and the blue personality type is very person-oriented. The idea behind True Colors is that it does not exclude people from being one personality type over another with the understanding that a person's personality can make adjustments based on his environment or association. True Colors is a way to understand the behavior and motivations of others related to our own personality to help reduce potential conflicts by learning to recognize personality differences and characteristics.

Scientific base
The results of the correlation of the 2006 study of the True Colors system (Wichard, 2006), show that True Colors has convergent validity with MBTI (Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator). Convergent validity is when the size is stronger with respect to similar construct size. However, True Colors does not have convergent validity with Strong Interest Inventory (SII), or Campbell Interest and Skill Survey (CISS). Furthermore, the subjects assess the predictions that the True Colors system made about them as accurate. However, this could be the result of a review bias and/or confirmation bias. Subjects retested after a 30 to 50 day delay are given the same classification ~ 95% of the time.
However, the study was conducted by True Trainer Trainer, 11, the study was not published in peer-reviewed journals, and no replication was published. True Colors has not been validated by independent and unaffiliated research.
