Introducing the Color Attribute Explorer
A new tool just landed in the Classroom! The Color Attribute Explorer lets you select any pure hue and adjust value, chroma, and clarity independently. See exactly what each attribute does in isolation rather than just reading about it. It also includes five modifiers: tint, shade, tone, toast, and dull. When you apply any of them, ghost indicators appear on the sliders showing which attributes are shifting and why. There is an explanation panel for each one that gets into the actual mechanism (including why tinting and shading are not simply opposites, and why toasting a cool hue also dulls it). At the bottom of the tool there is a full color vocabulary reference. Every term you have probably encountered in color analysis (bright, muted, soft, burnished, jewel-toned, earthy) is translated into its precise attribute definition. The Soft vs Muted entry is worth reading on its own. Find it in the Classroom under Color Attribute Explorer. Go play with it! This is a first version and I would love your feedback. What would make it more useful to you? What's missing, what's confusing, what do you want to be able to do that you can't do yet? Drop it in the comments.

@Virginia Schobel Did you intend the Temperature within hue family slider to affect the pure hue original to change as well?

This is really an amazing tool, along with the definitions at the bottom. I am very interested in understanding my own best colors through the lens of attributes. Is there somewhere where the 12 or 16 seasons are explained in the terms you have on this attribute explorer. For eg: I think that I like clear colors, but can't handle very bright. The definitions make sense. Clear "High clarity. Little to no grey influence. Not the same as bright — a clear color can have lower chroma." Bright: High chroma and high clarity together. Strong pigment with no grey. Sharp and crystalline. This is what Bright Spring means technically." I know that my chroma leans med-bright, but is not an at the extreme end - in the 12 season analysis. Just curious if this information already exists or needs someone to put it together. Thanks for all of this, enjoying it very much. I can also see that people will accept a set of descriptions easier than a label or box. But learning how to use it may be more complicated.
Decode Your Four-Letter Type: Two People Can Share Letters and Run Opposite Cognitive Sequences
The four-letter Myers-Briggs type is not the destination. It is a decoder ring. What is it decoding? Your cognitive function stack. The letters exist to reveal which functions you prefer, in which order, and how they are oriented. The stack is where the actual substance lives. The last letter tells you which function is extroverted. J types extrovert their judging function. P types extrovert their perceiving function. The first letter tells you which function is preferred. Extroverts lead with the function they extrovert. Introverts lead with the function they introvert. Take ENTP and INTJ. Both NT types. Same temperament group. In practice, they are running almost opposite cognitive sequences. The ENTP leads with Extroverted Intuition. The driver question: what possibilities am I not seeing yet, and where could this go? The co-pilot is Introverted Thinking. The second question: does this actually hold together on its own terms? The INTJ leads with Introverted Intuition. The driver question: what is the pattern beneath all of this, and where is it heading? The co-pilot is Extroverted Thinking. The second question: does this work, and can it be made to work better? Same two middle letters. Completely different direction of energy. Completely different criteria for trust. If you know your current best-fit type and want me to map out your cognitive function stack, drop it below.

@Virginia Schobel Definitely, the Ni (INFJ) became obvious as how I AM able to cope with situations, but not how I want to. Pretty sure this developed as a safety mechanism.
Personality type + color season: building the data set
📊 UPDATE: You can now add your entry directly to the live tracker at mbti-color-season.netlify.app — just scroll down to the entry form. The dataset and charts update in real time! ________________________________________________________________________________ Many of you have already shared your type and season somewhere in the group (the welcome thread, comments, DMs). I'm asking you to drop it here again so I can have it all in one place and start looking at patterns. 👩‍🎓🔍 What I hope to explore, to start, is whether type correlates with anything measurable on the color side (or vice versa). I'll share patterns back with the group as the data set builds and use what comes in to shape the next round of research questions. If you have a pattern you're curious about, drop it in the comments. This is a collective effort. 🧪 The grid starts here. In the future, I will tag new members here so they can continue to add to the data. Drop your information below using this format: MBTI type | color season | any contested or alternate results Example: ESTJ | Dark Autumn | also tested as Deep Winter 👇 If you only have one of the two, drop what you know. Partial data still counts.

@Virginia Schobel INFP!! Which really does resonate. Do you want to update your data chart? Feel free to define that for me, I now understand how it fits with how I operate in a big picture way. (without the copilots and rabbit holes). My husband would love the car model of personality type. Have you got a good link?

@Virginia Schobel I've sent it off to him, and he even looks interested. I'll report back. Who's in the drivers seat.
Neurodiversity & Personality Tests
Hello, this is a super interesting idea, does anyone know which personality tests are good for ND folk? and I can do for free online? I have had various colour consults, and I'm a trained consultant myself, though not currently practising other than friends/family or in groups for free lol (I'm actually a full-time engineer, but it's my hobby). I identify most with Deep & Soft Summer, though have been categorised as Soft Summer, borderline soft summer/true summer, and deep summer in various systems. I have ADHD diagnosed and also suspected but not diagnosed autism, and I'd be interested to see if any of these personality tests were inclusive or only designed for neurotypical folks.

@Virginia Schobel The "best" type should be the one that costs the least energy. There are some situations where this might not hold. As an example, learned early behavior that results in an "I feel safe doing this" might not be authentic to that person if it is in response to early trauma. The learned behavior might relax the nervous system more than an "authentic" behavior would if that behavior triggers unsafe reactions. Remove the trauma and less energy is expended being yourself. I think SAFETY influences behavior in many ways that may be hard to pick up on this type of test.

@Virginia Schobel That makes sense, I agree.
Best Fit Personality Preference Lab App: beta testers needed
The Best-Fit Personality Preference Lab is a guided conversation tool designed to help you explore where your type hypothesis actually holds up, and where it gets complicated. It's not a quiz. It doesn't assign you a type. It works through real-life examples with you the way a best-fit conversation is supposed to. It's at beta stage, which means the conversation flow is solid but I'm still refining it. What I need from you is honest feedback on whether it's actually useful. Not whether it's pretty. You can access it here: bestfitlab.netlify.app If you try it, drop a note below or DM me. I want to know what landed, what felt off, and whether the questions got at something real for you.

@Virginia Schobel Dropping a thank you in here! My favorite thing is integrating related concepts from different disciplines. On a personal note, I've started combining your App, while doing the Future Self exercise for the OGO program and the Internal Family systems I've mentioned before. Your App was able to bring out the positive dynamics at play that the others didn't. Good for you! 💕
