Many personality
assessments look at so many different aspects of behavior that
it takes someone
who
has
psychological
training to fully interpret the findings. In contrast, the Personality
Color Indicator (PCI) Silhouette™ is a reflective evaluation
designed to help people better understand
what
they can do to
have a balanced, healthy and well-rounded personality using four
primary colors.
The PCI
Silhouette™ evaluation
optimizes the number of variables to be measured. It
uses statements versus word associations or questions.
Dr. Carol
Ritberger’s research found that statements are more
effective than emotion-based word associations because they
encourage the brain to respond
in a clear, unobstructed manner, revealing the individual’s
inherent traits without emotional bias.
The colors selected to stand for
the personality types are representative of the totality
of who we are. Color typology can be drawn from a number of
roots,
one of which is the ancient Sanskrit system of chakras. Over
19 years of research by Dr. Ritberger, found
a consistent correlation between the psychological and physiological
effect the colors of the lower chakras red, orange, yellow
and green have on the body.
The four-color
formula present in the PCI Silhouette™ appraisal is a
synthesis of all of the different aspects
of who we are energetically, emotionally, mentally and physically.
Carl Jung called these distinct modes of mental functioning thinking,
feeling, sensation and intuition. Jung determined
a person has the ability to use all four modes of functioning,
however, there is a tendency not to develop all four equally
well.
Some personality
assessments use numbers, letters or words that tend to “label” people
and create limitations in a person’s mind as to how they
perceive themselves and the individuals around them. Color is
a universal language. A plant that is “green” in Asia
for example, can be just as “green” in the United
States, Europe and elsewhere. Primary colors on the color wheel
are the same primary colors everywhere. Chakra colors are universally
accepted colors intended to define the four-color traits of the
Personality Color Indicator system.
