Abstract art is open and lets the person looking at the painting decide what it might be about. What kinds of things can you see in the shapes and colours? This work is by British artist Lubaina Himid. It is called Carpet. When you hear the title, does it make you see the painting differently? Himid is an activist artist who is very interested in stories about Black women.
An activist is someone who wants to change the world. An activist artist does this through art! He calls himself a storyteller.
What story do you think this sculpture is trying to tell? You are achievement-focused and work hard towards achieving what you desire. Settling down is not on your agenda. Mistakes are made, but life keeps moving forward.
Extraverted is an understatement; you love getting to know people and discussing cool new opportunities with them. Popularity is key; your place in society and how people regard you is extremely important to your identity. Everything needs to be efficient, clean, and, most importantly, sleek. Creativity is the dominant element that characterizes people, like you, whose personality color is purple. As a Purple, you are a creative thinker: thoughtful, reflective, maybe even a little quirky.
Convention does not influence you. You are a problem solver, but take the road less traveled. You value art and other creative ventures. Life is whimsical; you leave your options open. Philosophy is important to you, as is existential thinking and maybe even a bit of nihilism. You take great pride in the culturally diverse life you live, and the knowledge and respect that you have for all things in the realm of eclectic art. You have a wellspring of creative energy that you channel into productive artistic activity, including travel.
Some people may criticize your fringy lifestyle, but you are unapologetic. Dependability is a key feature that characterizes people, like you, whose personality color is blue. Blues tend to be rule-following, dependable, long-enduring, and tenacious. You make sacrifices in order to rise up the ranks in the world.
You put in the extra hours in the office. You always fill out your taxes and pay your bills on time. You have a plan that you stick to.
You never stand people up and are always timely. You value honesty above all. You might miss out on fun once and a while, due to your discipline.
You like routines and outlines, things that maintain structure. Blues and Oranges are both givers, although in different ways. Blues give themselves wholeheartedly to work; you can count on them to stay late and to care about doing the smallest things right. Oranges give themselves to people, anticipating their needs, saying just the right thing to put people at ease. Although you are both givers, you may not recognize this about each other because of the different ways that you express it.
Incidentally, you are also probably the most productive color combination of all time. To a Crimson, Blue may seem bogged down by precision and rules. On the other hand, a Crimson may seem reckless and imprudent to a Blue. Although this might be frustrating, you certainly complement each other. Crimson and Orange may be at different ends of the introvert-extrovert spectrum. It can be a lot of fun to hang out, as long as you know this about each other. Orange, if you need an advocate or ally, try reaching out to a Crimson.
Crimson will gladly take the spotlight at a meeting, while Orange may feel more comfortable talking one-on-one afterwards. Crimson, be aware of the Oranges in the room, and ask them to speak up, or pause before speaking to give others a chance.
And Orange, if you have a great idea, try blurting it out before you can second guess yourself. Purples and Greens most likely get along perfectly well. It may be hard to solicit ideas from a Green, particularly when there is a difference of opinion in the room.
Chances are the Green would foremost like to see resolution, even if it comes at the expense of the product Purples, with their non-threatening quirkiness, may be able to help Greens engage in contentious work, and see that creative tension can come with enormous benefits.
Green and Orange are not the best duo to move a project forward aggressively. You are both perfectly happy dwelling in the comfort zone. If you start to feel stuck, you may try bringing other personality types into the mix. As a team, you both help with team cohesion and harmony. Oranges, you see the positive side to any personality. By sharing this with the team, you may help change negative attitudes. You are also unafraid of disagreement; you see it as a natural expression of personality difference.
Purples and Oranges will tend to communicate well with each other; Oranges try to be great listeners, and Purples are expressive; well, at least when they have something original to share. Purples may enjoy hanging out with someone who laughs at their odd remarks it takes creative energy to come up with new things to say! Purples and Oranges might not be the best duo to get things accomplished quickly and efficiently.
Oranges promote team cohesion and morale, and Purples generate new ideas and solve problems. So you may find it helpful to bring a Blue or Crimson on the team to manage and drive outcomes.
Greys and Oranges both want to improve relationships. Oranges may put themselves out there in risky and vulnerable ways, and may get hurt by a Grey, especially if a Grey uses the opportunity to crack a joke. Oranges, realize that a snarky joke is sometimes intended to be friendly when it is used to start rapport.
A Grey will likely be overjoyed if you snark back. In reality, emotional closeness and cutting through the nonsense are both necessary for building close relationships. Who hates each other more: two punks who love different bands, or a blue-haired social justice warrior stuck in a room with an internet troll?
When you buck the establishment, it's hard to get along with other anti-establishment types unless their interests align exactly with your own. Fortunately, the antidote is also your strong suit: self-deprecating humor and snarky comments.
