Red  Mostly A Answers
Your child seems to have certain traits associated with the color red. These children are highly energetic, outgoing, opinionated, and competitive. They make strong, influential leaders. They are very sociable and popular. Passionate and dynamic, they aren't afraid to express their emotions. True to their color, they can be a bit hotheaded at times. Learning to think before they speak or act can help ensure their success.

Orange  Mostly B Answers
Your child's personality traits seem most closely related to the color orange. These children are natural attention getters – okay – so sometimes they demand attention. Adults and children alike are drawn to their magnetic personality: a mixture of confidence, energy and humor. They may prefer activities that reward individual achievement (gymnastics, spelling bee) versus group success (team sports). However, it will benefit them to learn to work as part of a team, so you might consider encouraging group activities where they can still shine (drama, band, soccer).

Yellow  Mostly C Answers
Your child's traits point to the color yellow. Not surprisingly, they radiate warmth, and brightness. They are mostly cheerful and upbeat, with a smile that lights up the room. Yellow lovers tend to be social butterflies, not just for fun but because they like to help others whenever they can. Natural people pleasers, they may sometimes go out of their way to avoid conflict or criticism. For this reason, it is important to instill in them a healthy sense of self-confidence.

Green  Mostly D Answers
Your child appears to possess the traits associated with the color green. These children are thoughtful, kind, introverted, contemplative, analytical and highly intuitive. They love being around friends and family but value time alone to focus on whatever it is that interests them. And while they have many interests and talents, they may gravitate toward nature, animals, science and psychology. Their independence is a strong asset, but because of this they may have to learn how to accept authority, working in a team and constructive criticism.

Blue  Mostly E Answers
The color your child seems most closely related to is the blue. These children are calm, open-minded, adaptable, laid back, and levelheaded. They have a love for tradition and grow up to be dependable, loyal adults. Interestingly though, people associated with blue tend to be perfectionists, and a bit territorial. Neat and organized, they may get quite angry with siblings who touch or move their stuff. It helps to provide them with spaces to can call their own.

Purple  Mostly F Answers
Your child appears to possess the traits associated with purple. These children are highly creative and very bright. The way they see the world, the way they think, the way they choose to express themselves may surprise you. Don't worry if they even seem a little mysterious – creative types have a tendency to be private individuals. Highly perceptive problem solvers, they are often wise beyond their years. However, they may feel like they don't quite fit in socially or academically with their peers. You can ensure their confidence by accepting them for who they are and encouraging their creative pursuits.
