Who Am I?
Brain Hemisphere
Although I use both the left and right side of my brain depending on the
thought process necessary, I am most comfortable while using the left side of my brain. That means that I think and act logically most of the time, thinking everything through before I say or do anything. However, sometimes I need more freedom, and to be a little more random and spontaneous at times.
My Personality Type
#1 Green
My main personality color is "green". This means that I am more of an analyst and am more of a logical thinker. I will think things through before taking any action and think even before I say anything. I like to find new things out, and see how things work. I am always asking "Why?" to to see how different things work.

Decision Making
Analytical Style
When making decisions, I tend to follow the analytical style. People with that decision making style focus on details, take a logical approach to the problem, consider every aspect of a given problem, acquire information through careful analysis using a large amount of data, and have a high tolerance for uncertainty. Other sometimes perceive my decision making as over controlling, impersonal, too careful, slow, or mathematical, and sometimes too slow. The best organizational fit for my decision making is one that allows for when planning or solving complex task is important, such as science or engineering.
