How The Test Works

The Dewey Color System is based on a ranking of your favorite and least favorite colors in four different color categories: primary, secondary, achromatic, and intermediate. Simply put, your subconscious mind is attracted to the colors that indicate your passionate pursuits and not attracted to colors that highlight issues you tend to avoid.

This test also indicates, using only color preference, your one-of-a-kind connection. In reading about your interpersonal chemistry, you will recognize the gifts that you give each other each day as well as where to best give support.

Why Vibrant Colors Are Best

In constructing the Dewey Color System, we used the spectrum's most brilliant colors, because studies have proved the more vibrant the color, the more distinct the response. This approach ensured a more accurate system that yielded easily measurable results. In fact, an additional scientific study proved that each hue in the Dewey Color System has a physical quality that both of you react to as a unique personal experience.

Color hue clarity was achieved by using pure shades of blue, red, and yellow. For example, our shade of blue contains no red or yellow. Other color blends were meticulously calculated to ensure hue distinction. Black, white, and brown were also added. This process was how we achieved distinctive, different responses to each color vibration in order to capture your core essence.

Proven Reliability

The Dewey Color System is now the world's first and only validated personality-testing instrument based on color. Sixteen personality factors, including the five global factors of Independence, Anxiety, Self-Control, Extraversion, and Tough-Mindedness, can now be statistically predicted by color preference.

The accuracy of my patented system has been validated against two of America's most respected testing instruments — the Strong Interest Inventory, which measures occupational and career interests, and the 16PF, which measures business and clinical aptitudes.

What Can The Dewey Color System® Do For Me?

The Dewey Color System® reveals the chasm between your vision of yourself and others' vision of you. The results of a clinical comparison of my system with the Myers-Briggs, the 16PF, and the Strong Interest Inventory indicated the following:

• Two out of three participants believed that the Dewey Color System gave them a stronger awareness of themselves.

• Three out of four participants believed that the Dewey Color System better described how they live their lives.

Use The Dewey Color System® for Relationships to build profiles that you can share with your partner to understand why the two of you interact in a certain way. As you read about how your unique color pairings relate, you will recognize how you and your partner complement each other yet sometimes clash — those absurd attempts to rationalize or suppress the qualities that make you both so wonderful. And by accessing the other's core self, both of you will rise above preconceived notions to honor your own unique relationship.
