Three Greens and One Blue on YouTube

How You Can Figure Out Colors Without a Survey

Greens and Blues have one thing in common. They live in their heads. Processing ideas is THEM. The Greens, however, are the “Thinkers” while the Blues are the “Feelers” – in Myers-Briggs terminology.

How to tell them apart can be found in their body language and speech.

Click on the YouTube link below and watch our current Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, the only Blue, speaking on Meet the Press at the same table as three Greens: Newt Gingrich, Al Sharpton, and the moderator David Gregory.

Here is a summary of what to look for:

GREENS: Newt Gingrich, Al Sharpton, and Meet the Press Moderator David Gregory

· Drawing starkly clear pictures with hands – pointing, chopping, framing

· Matter-of-fact delivery

· Well referenced big-picture orientations

· Referencing knowledgeable sources, leaders

· Breaking answers into categories and examples

BLUE: Secretary of Education Arne Duncan

· Soft, open-handed ( imploring) gestures with hands, very little jerking or chopping

· Pleasant, smiling, soft delivery

· Idealistic big picture

· Referencing universal people and their interactions

· Speaking in sweeping rather than finely-drawn scenarios

SHERIFF JOE (WHERE IS MAMA, DO YOU KNOW?) – The Lyrics

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:14:41 +0000

WHERE IS MAMA, SHERIFF JOE?

CHORUS

Sheriff Joe, Sheriff Joe

Where is Mama – do you know?

She went to work, you picked her up.

Where is Mama – do you know?

Breakfast today was bacon and eggs,

Dad proclaimed them the best he’d had –

He added all Mama did was grand – and

Mama bragged her boss was just as glad.

REPEAT CHORUS

Checked my schoolwork and packed a lunch ;

Then ran to the bus after kissing me sweet,

Mama texted “Te quiero” like she always did,

Then wrote “Arrestada” on a Twitter Tweet.

REPEAT CHORUS

Green and Orange Thinking Needed For Healthcare Reform

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:13:25 +0000

I am perplexed by decades-long hesitation on national health care and disease prevention in the U.S. This desire to change all began as long ago as the Truman presidency. At the very same time, when the UK came out of the war — broke — it established its universal health care. A simplistic explanation might be that the intractable Gold thinking and influence of insurance and drug companies has made politicians feel they couldn’t be very creative.

I don’t want to get into arguments of the left and right here. Let me put forward two realities that it would be hard to argue with. Most of us know uninsured people intimately or personally whose financial lives have been devastated by a single visit to an emergency room. I believe we are the only well developed nation in the world with such a faulty system.

The other reality is the “right” that insurance companies have to reject applicants for pre-existing conditions. How is that logical, fair, or compassionate? How simple it would be to legislate that insurance companies must accept — in some kind of rotation — all applicants who are willing or able to pay standard premiums. They do this for auto insurance. Why not for healthcare?

What’s required, in my view, is Green utilitarian thinking and Orange creativity and action. Our President is absolutely right about putting our best ideas together and acting right now. The fact that we’ve sidestepped and hedged and pussyfooted for 69 years since Truman’s ascendency is a national embarrassment.
