Surrounded by Idiots (Animated Book Summary) | Thomas Erikson | Avoid Conflicts With People

[@Svetoslav_07]

as a person who defines himself as blue and green is an absolute win

[@dbros6785]

nah they to touch some grass

[@florencebolaji-lawal8870]

My boss is a red, I'm a green, my colleagues are yellow and blue. Altogether, we have a slight touch of other colours. Now, I understand why the Yellow talks unending. Therefore, no need for me to get upset anymore and I now understand why the blue 💙 is a perfectionist. Undemanding these make me a better version of myself. Thanks to @Thomas Erikson for the book. Great job 👏 👍 👌

Somehow you summarized it into 14 min, but certainly did it exceptionally good!

[@megan9825]

I’m a blue. But honestly I can see a little of myself in each color. Great vid!

[@CrazyCircles1]

blue/yellow - I hate boredom and analyze the F out of a certain task to be as efficient as possible, so then I don't have to work as much and focus on fun stuff during the working hours. Using blue skills to feed into my yellow needs. And yes, I don't stay for long in a company, every 3'ish years I start working someplace entirely different. New shit to learn and master.

[@natevant5525]

I took some lengthy DISC exam and I thought- naturally if I just answer honestly I’ll get a more accurate gauge on what temperament I am, I got Red more points above all else then yellow then blue in that order. And now having read the book, I definitely see how accurate it is

I'm red ❤ and I'm exactly as you have explained. Good findings and explanation , I had a problem getting along with others, however i understand now. I will somehow accommodate them and get along better.

[@wizbuskout]

Hey, nobody is perfect. But we should keep improving ourselves. I'm blue and yellow most of the time. So many people get frustrated when I start talking philosophy with them out of the blue and sound like a geek 😅 Working on it!

[@CheeseMacaroni_]

Same💁🏻‍♀️

[@Teleios15013]

Aye I appreciated the summary and the explanation between the four colours was great, but the most important part wasn’t included: what do you do and how do you adapt to communicate effectively with the different personality types

[@wizbuskout]

If you're interacting with RED, know that they are hot-headed. Don't try to win too much with logic. Keep things simple with them. Don't explain too much. If you're interacting with YELLOW, have some patience, and allow them to talk. But also keep some check on your time. These type of people don't stop blabbering about useless stuff. If you're interacting with GREEN, don't expect too much from them. They will always play safe. So if something is risky, better avoid them. If you're interacting with BLUE, you already know they are intelligent and observant. Don't try to act too smart in front of them. Listen effectively and only speak after thinking. Focus more on the details and logic here, unlike RED. Hope it helps. However, every person is different, so you have to adapt in real-time and learn with experience. The book oversimplifies people's personality (Good for beginners). In reality, humans are more twisted than we think.

[@Teleios15013]

[@babasphotos5042]

Yeah I'm glad I watched this video. It saved me from reading a dumb book.

[@wizbuskout]

You're right, though. The only practical idea from this book is that instead of thinking that everybody is an idiot, try to understand people. Honestly speaking, I didn't find the idea of dividing personality into just 4 types very practical. If you have any good books in mind on this topic, don't hesitate to let me know, I'll try my best to make a summary of it.

[@nightwalker7723]

Exactly!!

[@m0n6rch]

Great summary! came here to brush up my knowledge on this framework, it seems the "colours" are just Erikson's way of describing the 4 temperaments. After reading the book I have deducted I am predominantly red but with blue aspects when it comes to being analytical and getting into the finite details. Although in my younger years I was very quiet & analytical, a mix of green & blue, as my confidence in my skills have increased & I now know what I want out of life I am about 70% red 30% blue... Although I would like to work on being more yellow...

[@wizbuskout]

You are absolutely correct. Those colors don't tell the full story. But they do help in seeing different temperaments. Many people get this wrong and misunderstand the whole point. I'm glad you enjoyed the summary. Personally, my different colors activate in different situations :)

[@morganwalumoli8463]

this is the best psychological note book of all times, enemies everywhere

[@_priyansh]

Very nice explanation 👍

[@wizbuskout]

Thank you 😃

[@natethetoe386]

Red - Does lots of stuff. Most of it wrong, but thinks it is right. Yellow - Does nothing worth doing. Green - Does only what is told to do. Blue - Does lots of stuff, Most of it right, but thinks it is all wrong, Then redoes it again and again, for minor improvements.

[@aaahhhaaaaaahhh]

[@alan2052]

Good book with awesome new perspective and details, but people should read other books about the same subject as well.

[@wizbuskout]

Yes absolutely 💯 I will bring more videos on these topics in future. Stay tuned until then.

[@sofiarabab5197]

Im between red and yellow ...which makes me more proud❤

[@dasaticar2194]

Same😂

[@CaineCoaching]

I am fairly certain I am about 80% Blue, 10-15% Red, and the rest mainly yellow. As a very rough estimate, mind you. I haven't had a chance to do the exact math just yet. (And it is also a bit tricky to be exact when it comes to psychological qualities. Especially as they often are a bit fluid, based on where you are in life.) That said. Good summary. It lacks a bit advice on how to deal with each personality-type compared to the books, and lacks a bit more depth on their flaws, but I understand that there is limits to what one can put in a summary. They are meant to be short after all. And my client has a very red-dominated personality, so reading full books is not something she is willing to do/have time to do.) So as a summary this is a very good video.

[@mohamedettahiri9132]

thank you so mutch. and for my opinion I think that true all that you taking about. but most people are mix between green. Red. yellow and blue. more problem between people nowadays cause of misunderstanding each other. and anyone wand to win and want to be the leader ...

[@hidyshawky3804]

I appreciate this great job. personally I am 70% blue and the rest is red. I wish I could work on myself and become yellow to entertain people and not look so boring or serious

[@toasttime9266]

I'm so confused. Greens are the most loyal, and greens make up the majority... Yet, loyal people are rare and hard to find in most people's experiences.

[@wizbuskout]

Oh, when it's said that they make up the majority, I meant that most people avoid risks and play safe. You are right, loyalty is rare these days. Sorry for the confusion. Think of Greens as people who like to blend in with others and avoid direct attention as it may put them in an uncomfortable situation.

[@wizbuskout]

No. The book only helps you find what's dominant. Practically, it's possible to show different traits in different situations. Just because your dominant personality is Yellow (let's say) doesn't mean you can't sit quietly in other situations.

[@ken4975]

Lots of observations which ring true in this book. Not very helpful however if you recognise that everyone you know does not fall into such neat stereotypes. Totally agree it isn't very nice to call others idiots just because we have difficulty communicating with them. Idiots and stupid thoughts and behaviour do exist however, and hopefully most of us know what we mean by this. We are stupid and idiotic aren't we? People believe advertising for example.

[@ohmearnthesibling5834]

could you please add Thai transcript.

[@hoematica5841]

Soooo... the only one I didn't feel I relate to much is yellow. When he started describing green I was like oh yeah that's a bit of me.. but then each time he brought up traits of red I was like 😬👋🏼 it me. And also I can get down with quite a few of the blue traits too? So I'm gonna say I'm mostly green with streaks of blue and red 💚

[@vic_finesse]

I feel like I am a red/yellow because I'm goal oriented, able to lead, would rather work than party but still able to make conversations fun & knowledgeable, and maintain healthy relationships.

Boxing people into categories like this is dangerous as the human mind develops in more complex ways than we currently understand.

[@wizbuskout]

It doesn't matter. People always box other people into categories. Humans have been judging other humans to survive since ancient times. For example: Heroes and Villains are two classic categories.

Hello there, if there is any other book on how to deal with people, it will be very helpful As per this book, some questions of mine got cleared, I am definitely a green even though I used to thnk that I am a Red or a Blue and my fiancee is a Green too although she thinks she is big time Red, looolllll We all love stability at the end of the day, haha and ofcourse avoid conflicts

[@wizbuskout]

Sure, I also think this book is a bit limiting as it doesn't cover much. It's rather very simplistic. But it does help when you don't want to go geeky on these topics. Lol! We need more lessons on how to deal with people in our day-to-day lives. I'll make more videos on such topics, definitely. But I can't guarantee when, as it's difficult for me to say so. So stay tuned! If you have any names (books) in mind, don't hesitate to drop the title in the comments. Maybe this video will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4ismJtuq9Wam6s

can someone be a combination of blue, yellow and green ?

[@wizbuskout]

I think yes. But remember, we just need to find out what's dominant to keep things simple. Human nature is very complex because people think and act illogically all the time, thus making it challenging to judge and put their personality in a particular category.

sry but ,what " Introvert and extrovert " means?

[@wizbuskout]

An introvert is someone who likes to keep their thoughts to themselves. Such people often avoid group situations like parties. An extrovert is someone who prefers to share their thoughts with other people. Such people feel good when they are in a group.

[@BubblyBibleGirl]

I believe that my PRIMARY color is yellow, buuuuuuut I resonate with all of the colors. Is there a special quiz helps me to hone in on how much percentage I have in each of the other color types? This reminds me of the five love languages. We all want all five, there there are one or two primary languages that may be more IMPACTFUL to us over the others.

[@wizbuskout]

It's great that you can resonate with all types of people. A great quality indeed! Talking about the percentage, I think it's not worth it to find out the percentages of colors. Just realizing our tendency to act in a certain way is sufficient. For example, you realized that you are YELLOW, which means you like to talk a lot and share stories with others. Then, your goal should be to find out whether you're overdoing it or not. And what kind of stories are you sharing with others? Are they helpful or not? Do more self-reflection. Keep it simple as much as you can if you want to get the best results in the long term. Just don't get into the trap of calculating these things because it can change based on your experiences. Also, don't limit your personality to these 4 colors. It's just a simplistic model to judge personality, but I wish it was that simple. Try to look from different angles. If you really pay attention, you'll see that we're more like rainbows with different colors showing in combination in different situations :) I hope this was helpful.
