I think personalty tests should be for you, and you alone. Not all your co workers. They should have talked about the types of people and not put everyone into groups. That way we could "think" about who we knew who might be that way and think about how we communicate but not have people "labeled".
After we had the training everyone was going around asking each other their color... and really it could be used against people and not at all accurate. Some people in my group imho shouldn't have been there.
I think I am going to say something.
Another disturbing trend that I am getting sick of and I don't see how to get out of... my workplace keeps having LONG mandatory trainings. Almost all are mandatory and all are stupid and in no way relate to our jobs. I would love more training on my actual job but that is hard. Stupid wishy washy stuff like this is easy and now, it seems, mandatory.
