As part of our development at work, each employee goes through something called Insights Discovery training. I found out about this during my second or third week at work when my boss asked one of my co-workers if she had attended and what her colors were.
Insights Discovery training is a workshop of sorts that enables you to learn about yourself as well as others in the work place.* Before the four hour training class, each individual takes a twenty-five question assessment and the results of the assessment make up your colors and your title. The colors represent four categories.

We are each given a set of colored blocks as well to display (if we so choose) in our offices. Each block comes with a brief description of what someone who leads with that color energy might say.

My co-worker/friend and I took the training together and spent months (I am not exaggerating) trying to guess what our makeup would be. I was pretty sure that I was going to be yellow-green-red-blue (it's important to note that the "give me details" in this sense is not, like, "tell me everything," it's more like, "I'm going to read the instructions meticulously before I attempt to plug in this vacuum and use it.").
