Well-known Golds include George and Barbara Bush, Queen Elizabeth, Dan Rather and Barbara Walters. Theoretical, competitive and always driven to acquire more knowledge and competence, Blues are unequalled when it comes to dealing with complex, theoretical issues and designing new systems. They seek knowledge for its own sake and are driven to challenge and test ideas and authority. As natural skeptics, their first reaction is to criticize and set their benchmarks against which they measure everyone and everything. They are highly precise in thought and language and future oriented, trusting only logic not the rules or procedures of the past.
Blues are visionary and do best in positions requiring strategic thinking.
Their interest is in improving the system. Then, they move on, with little interest in maintenance. They have little patience for explaining the complexities of a plan that, to them, seems obvious. They are reserved about showing appreciation. After all, achievement is its own reward and praise is faintly condescending.
