Salah's Personality Test

Salah's Personality Test. He was an Orange. Some of it is a lot like him but not all of it. And some of it's just plain funny.

In Relationships

Orange people seek a relationship with shared activities and interests with their mate. They like to explore new ways to energize the relationship, have a wide variety of friends, and prefer to be with people who like to have fun and are spontaneous. They tend to be laid back and flexible so you can choose what to do when the moment arrives.

Oranges

Need to feel that they are in control — not necessarily of others, but most definitely of themselves. Even if they are following orders, they need to feel some sort of freedom to follow the orders in their own fashion.

When Oranges shine they are versatile, spontaneous, self-confident, resourceful, and decisive. Their playful manner can brighten up a mundane chore and add fun to a workday. They prefer to not having to plan more than 10 minutes into the future, and everything is about them.

However, oranges can be very intimidating when they are stressed or low on esteem. They can become exceedingly pushy, aggressive and confrontational, even physically violent. Placed in an overly restrictive environment, they will go to great extremes to gain their freedom or control.

Lack of Money

It is the Orange who laments, “What do you mean I’m out of Money? I still have checks left!”

Being exposed to stressors for a long period of time leads to behaviors such as:

Acting rude and with defiance

Breaks rules on purpose

Fails to complete things

Runs away

Quits job

May joke or tease inappropriately

Overly competitive

Manipulative

Lying and cheating behavior

Violent behavior

Oranges need to remember:

That at times your energy is overwhelming. Others may perceive you as shallow and flighty. Take the time to organize your thoughts and complete what you start. Work harder at being on time and maintaining eye contact with people when they are talking.

Important information for significant others

Understand their need to multitask — “My wife is one of those people who can talk on the phone, change the channel on the TV, and discipline the kids… all while she is driving!” Grant them attention — after all, it’s all about them anyway. ;^) Make it a game.

Get out of their way – Oranges would like nothing better than to have lights and sirens on their cars. If you see them coming, treat them like an emergency vehicle, just pull over and get out of their way.

Freedom: they need distractions and relief. If one Orange we know is in the house for more than four hours, she needs to be taken for Slurpee run. She loves camping, but if she hasn’t hit a 7-11 or something to do with civilization in a couple of days she goes nuts — she even had to bring our living room TV out to the campfire for something else to stare at.
