This last week on careers focuses on Orange people. So what kinds of money-making activities attract people who are so physical as Oranges - so high-energy, naturally skillful, and eager to be constantly on the move? Here's a hint: think hands and tools, arts and crafts, entertainment and performance.
Go to Google, Orange friends, and look up careers as follows:
If you are an introverted Orange-Green, look up "ISTP Careers".
For extraverted Orange-Green, look up "ESTP Careers".
For introverted Orange-Blue, look up "ISFP Careers".
For extraverted Orange-Blue, look up "ESFP Careers".
If you are Orange-Gold, go to the third Color (Green or Blue) as the "real" second Color because temperament experts have identified those Colors as more relevant for predicting important strengths and values for Orange folks.
Over the last four weeks, I have written a paragraph like the one above for all four Colors. It is important to know that the second Color in your Four Windows spectrum is nevertheless important. The problem is that the mainstream organizations like Myers-Briggs and Keirsey assert that one's type or temperament is identified fairly strictly by certain balances of characteristics. I do not disagree except to say that my own research also reveals clear differences between temperaments whose "second Color" does not "fit the mold." For example, Orange-Gold people are often predictably super organized, fast-thinking, brutally concrete, high-energy dynamos with seemingly equal skill in both logistics and tactics. When I want help getting complicated things done, I go straight to Orange-Gold people to make them happen. Blue-Green folks enjoy a party place in the head where an enormous array of both task-oriented and people-oriented ideas flow and evolve endlessly. Blue-Green folks are frequently insatiable readers and excellent conversation partners.
Here's a very cool challenge. If you find a Career choice that would NOT make immediate sense to you, find a friend to talk about it with you. You might be surprised that you have not taken an avenue that you really should look into. Life is short, as you well know. Keep life fun and interesting by taking on new challenges.
