One of the most useful outcomes of understanding your temperament through Four Windows is the chance to take a good look at the college majors and careers that could fit you best.
Majors and careers for Green people usually relate to solving problems, figuring out complex puzzles, gaining knowledge, becoming highly competent in challenging areas, and peering over their domains with strategic thinking and enjoying the thrill of making logical - or even somewhat illogical - connections that most other people may not understand.
The problem is that a Green's family, community, and nation may not have a clue about the Green person's natural temperament. Those bodies can overly endorse college majors and careers that frustrate rather than excite. An extreme example might be a Green student bent on an engineering career whose parents insist he enter religious ministry, work on an assembly line, do customer service, or be in charge of stocking shelves in a family grocery store. The nation's government might draft a Green in the army and make a military cop out of him instead of recognizing the intelligence officer he was born to be.
There are exceptions of course. Plenty of Green people find peace, joy, and challenges in careers that draw from other strengths besides Green strengths.
When we get career insights from personality surveys, it's a good idea to not only pause long enough to think about the implications. It's even a better idea to talk with counselors and others about the results. Some of us end up wasting decades studying the wrong subjects because we don't seem to be able to figure ourselves out soon enough. I have friends who have spent decades in wrong careers because they were too impulsive about life decisions at an early age. I myself am such a time waster. I had a chance at age 39 to consider public service but rejected it because I was certain the personality survey that pointed me in that direction had misinterpreted my career path. What I failed to do was explore the information more patiently - to spend some time with a few experts. Alas it took me another 15 years to find that perfect job.
On the other hand, you will find people who "get it" early and make some pretty smart decisions. After a workshop in California, I got talking with a participant at her work station. She was the department's main receptionist - and she happened to be Green. "I have not met many Green receptionists," I remarked. "Well," she said, "I appreciate where you're coming from, but my long-term plan is to be head of the department in 15-20 years. Meanwhile, this job is easy enough so I can finish college at the City's expense and get myself promoted up the ladder in due time." You have to smile at that!
