Recognizing personality types – a gateway to greater understanding
Every person brings with them their own unique combination of thought, feeling, and behavior patterns. Models such as DISC, Insights, or other color-coded typologies help to visualize these differences—not to categorize people, but to facilitate communication. Systems that work with four color types are particularly popular: red for direct and determined, blue for analytical and precise, yellow for enthusiastic, and green for compassionate and team-oriented.

If you would like to delve deeper into this color logic, you will find a compact overview of the four personality types and their communication styles here:

Such models are used in coaching, recruiting, team development and even in schools to strengthen self-perception and external perception.
When personality becomes visible – working with colors in coaching
Theory is good – but it often only becomes effective when it becomes tangible. This is where visualizations come into play: In coaching sessions or workshops, personality differences can be vividly represented using colored figures. Each color represents a specific type or communication style. This allows a coachee to, for example, "set up" their own position within the team – or to make conflict dynamics tangible through the spatial relationship of the figures.
➡️ Here you will find a set of systemic figures that makes this idea easy to implement.
This form of systemic visualization offers direct access to personality—without test sheets or technical jargon. It is particularly helpful when clients work visually or haptically, or when working with groups where language alone is insufficient.
Why this is more than just a trend
Personality models aren't just a game – they help you better understand yourself and others. They reveal how differently people perceive their environment, make decisions, and act in teams. And they create a common language for talking about it.
Anyone who values clarity, depth, and development in their work with people will find color-based models and their visualization to be a powerful tool—be it for self-reflection or for improving communication and collaboration.
