Thank you for betting on me when it made no sense and for continuing to bet on me.

It still doesnt make much sense.

I love you forever.

May our future always be brighter than our past.

INTRODUCTION
A Personality Test Almost Ruined My Life

My wifethe woman I love the most in the world and have five wonderful children withalmost didnt marry me... because of a personality test.

A very popular personality test while I was in college was called the Color Code, which categorizes people into one of four colors. Reds are your type A go-getters, driven by ambition and self-interest. Blues are heart-centered and relationship-based. Whites are introspective and often passive. Yellows seek fun and are the life of the party.

Lauren was a Red. So when her family found out that I was a White, they were very concerned. Lauren had previously been married to an abusive and self-absorbed guy, who was also a Red. Her parents thought, given her interest in me, that she might be going too far in the opposite direction to compensate. Or that she was being overly cautious to avoid the trauma of her prior marriage.

Like many others who put stock in personality tests, Laurens family considered the Color Code to have some validity and truth. They saw people through the tests lensas one of four types.

If this guy is a White, and shes a Red, shes going to walk all over him, were their genuine concerns. She needs a real man, not a White.

She was wondering the same thing. Could a Red and a White really work together? Whites rarely get promoted at work. Whites are pushovers. Whites are dreamers but dont stick to long-term goals.

Luckily for me, Lauren gave me a chance. She got to know me, and after we were together awhile in a great relationship, she took the leap of faith against her prejudgment of Whites and her parents initial concerns.

Lauren and I laugh about this now, happily married with five kids and fourteen years of combined formal psychology education later. But the fact remains: A personality test almost ruined our life together.

Im not the only one whos been misdiagnosed or unfairly limited by a personality test. In fact, you likely have also fallen prey to this epidemic. The Color Code is just one of countless popular personality frameworks sweeping through modern culture. Some other major culprits include the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the DISC assessment, the Winslow Personality Test, NEO, HEXACO, Birkman, Enneagram, inkblots, and more.

The list goes on and it doesnt stop. It wont stop. It seems like hundreds of new tests are devised every single day.

The obsession with personality is so ridiculous that in 2019 Facebook had to ban personality quizzes and other apps with minimal utility. This happened after more than 87 million people had given away their personal information in exchange for the answer to a personality quiz.

Personality tests can be interesting, entertaining, and playful, yes. But theres a dark reality about them, and the entire notion of personality in general, which limitsand in some cases ruinsthe lives of countless people.

The mainstream perspective is that your personality is the real and authentic you. Your personality is innate and, for the most part,
