C: Helloo! J: Hii!
J: As you watch this, we're in Budapest.
J: Unless you're watching this post-Sunday, in which case we're probably back home
C: So, when we were in Malaysia, we did a whole video on Chinese Zodiac Signs
C: 'cause we got really into it and went to temples and saw like, you know, the monkey and the rabbit
C: and I was like, "Oh, I'm a rabbit." J: I'm a dragon.
C: And it was just like a bit of fun; we don't like 100% believe in it.
J: We're totally over that now. We have a new personality obsession!
J: This one brought to us by Stevie Boebi C: Uh-huh
J: Thanks, Stevie
C: So, the actual expert on this Color Theory is Dr. Haylor...oo, "Dr. Haylor"
C: Dr. Taylor Hartman J: Ph. D.
C: "Taylor Hartman is a psychologist and business leadership coach."
C: "He lives with his wife and family in Sandy, Utah."
J: Stop trying--!
J: The personalities can be broken down into four core categories, which are:
Red
Blue
Yellow
And white
J: And then you have a secondary characteristic. So the first one is the personality that you're born with
and the second one is how you move through the world
C: So, some people theorise that you grow into your personality like in it's more like your personal history
that develops who your personality is
C: Dr. Hartman believes that you're just born with it
To the point that like when you're in the womb, you have--already have a personality.
Like, you're either like defiant and you know what you don't wanna eat
through your mother's womb, already, or you're very like, easygoing
J: First of all, we have red.
J: Their motive is power.
They need to look good, technically; to always be right; to be respected; get approval from a select few
J: And they want to hide their insecurities; they want to be very productive; they want to take a leadership role
and they like challenging adventures
C: Reds are the power wielders. J: Oh.
C: And then the blue personality types, they're called the do-gooders.
And their motive is intimacy. So their needs are to be good, morally; to be understood;
to be appreciated and accepted.
And their wants are to reveal their insecurities; quality; autonomy; and security
J: So whites are the peacekeepers. See if this sounds like anyone you know
Their motive is for peace. They need to feel good inside;
to be allowed their own space;
to be respected; to have tolerance;
they want to withhold their insecurities;
be kind; have independence; and be content
C: Hm, sounds pretty nice.
And then the last colour is yellow.
They are described as the fun lovers.
Sound like anyone?
They wanna look good socially;
they wanna be noticed;
they wanna be praised;
and they want approval from the masses.
C: [Referring to Jessica] Those things are actually needs, not even wants
The next things are wants.
They wanna hide their insecurities; they want-- J: "Loosley"
C: "Loosely"!
C: They want happiness; freedom; and playful adventure
J: Oh!
C: OK, so can you guess what colours Jessica and I are?
J: I'm a yellow!
J: So, we thought we'd tell you all about what it's like to have a white and yellow relationship
Because people do often ask us, like, "How do we have a relationship where we never argue?"
C: Mmhm
J: Well... C: And we were like, "We don't know."
C: Until Stevie showed us this and we bought this book, we were like thinking
we were probably gonna get a divorce. [Drum cymbals clash]
J: Stop pinching my bum.
[Air kissing noises]
J: "The white and yellow relationship is described as Gentle Fun."
C: I think that sums us perfectly
J: It does! C: Gentle Fun
J: It does. We were supposed to film this video but instead we skipped around the room in a circle
J: Until Clara told us off
C: I'm not currently wearing any trousers because I was too hot
C: I don't know why that's gentle fun J: It is fun for me
C: Just a little bit of extra bit of information for you there
J: We are affable individuals seeking an easy style of interaction with limited expectations
J: Neither chooses to hassle the other
Neither's particularly clean about directing the other either
"They can be excellent as friends, colleagues, or parent-child."
"Rarely find themselves in a committed intimate relationship."
C: Yeah, I was surprised by that. We are an anomaly.
J: But our relationship is so easy.
J: Why wouldn't everyone want a--? C: But that's because of our secondary colours
C: You can't be a double-double. J: No. Stevie said so, so it must be true.
C: Oo, OK.
C: We can't have intimate relationships.
C: "Almost as if there is no compelling magnetism,
they instinctively recognise the limitations of their companionship in surviving--"
J: That's not true! I'm incredibly magnetically drawn to you!
J: All right, not everything in the book is true; just ignore that bit, OK? Ignore that.
J: "Whites and yellows accommodate each other."
J: We don't motivate each other to get stuff done.
J: "Perhaps they lack the ferocity or drive reds and blue innately have to light each other's fires."
So, personality overview: our motives are peace and fun
C: Mm! J: Which is lovely, I think.
C: Uh-huh.
C: Power and-- J: Wow, wait!
C: I know, what is happening?!
C: It's because we're talking about whites, so it went [sing-song voice] whiiite!
J: [Vocalises off-key]
J: That was my attempt at singing. Was it good?
C: That was singing? J: ...Is it not?
C: No J: Oh.
C: That was just more like an explanat--exclamation-like noise.
J: [Knowingly vocalises off-key]
C: [Laughing] Ooh, do you know--? I'm sorry, we shouldn't make fun of your deafness.
C: Um...back to what we were talking about
J: We're gonna go through the white-yellow interpersonal relationships
J: You are tactful
J: I'm tactless
C: Yeah, that's also very true
J: Peace versus fun
You like power and control of self, and I just want [passionately] intimacy
C: "Whites are concerned with developing a safe environment,
while yellows risk more freely for an intimate relationship."
"Yellows are more outgoing and their white companions remain more reserved."
"Whites are like cats, able to come and go comfortably on their own."
"Yellows are like dogs, always seeking to be noticed, petted and played with."
J: Pet me. C: So true.
J: There we go.
J: Although, interestingly, like I was discussing this with Stevie, I think a large part
of your personality can be changed the way it's presented due to things like having a disability
C: Yeah, definitely. And also anyway that influences your second--what your second colour is.
J: [Gasping] We're gonna get onto that in a minute. Right.
J: You like stability; I like change.
C: Oh, yeah, I hate change.
J: Yeah, she does. She gets really upset.
C: I'm starting a new job. Very nervous.
J: She's been having some temper tantrums. C: No, I haven't!
C: Oh, sorry.
J: You are reluctant, and I am engaging
C: Yeah...
J: "Whites often need coaxing from their yellow friends to try new experiences."
J: I think that's true. C: Yeah, I think that's true.
J: You are tenacious and I am easily distracted
C: Oh...yes. J: Like a magpie.
J: You feel deeply, but find expression of feelings difficult.
C: That is true. I've got a lot better since, like, knowing you, though,
at expressing my emotions.
J: You're a doer, I am delegator / performer. C: Indeed.
C: "Yellows and whites enjoy a rare capacity for tolerance and acceptance
that no other mixed colour combination shares."
C: "Both are slow to anger and quick to move on when slighted."
J: That's true, yeah! C: Oh, that's why we never have--we never have arguments.
C: And if we do, it's more like a tiff, and then we never like wanna hold in it.
J: You are compliant with rules, I am defiant to rules.
J: This is true, never met a rule I didn't wanna bend.
J: Don't break them, just bend them. [Drum cymbals clash]
J: You are forgiving, but [scary voice] you remember.
C: Whereas you're like you'll forgive them and then you'll forget about it.
J: Yeah, I have certain people in my life who aren't very good for my life
and who make me very upset constantly. C: Yeah.
J: But I still keep going back!
C: I'm the one that reminds you: "This person did this before and you got really upset"
And you're like:
"Did I?"
C: I mean, it doesn't help that you have cognitive issues J: No!
J: "Usually, whites are pessimists and yellows are optimists."
C: I would say I'm more of a realist
C: Right, let's move on to the... J: Right, moving on to why we need each other.
J: So, you (white) need me (yellow) to excite you
C: Yes! J: To encourage you.
C: Yes.
J: To promote activities. C: Yes, definitely.
J: To share a peaceful relationship. C: Aw, yes.
C: You try and tell me what your needs are, based on, like, kind of along the lines of what you just
J: Oh, my gosh. OK. C: So you know what the kind of things are.
J: Umm, well, I know what the top one is: I need you to calm me down.
J: That's... C: Uh-huh.
J: I need you to praise me. C: Yes.
J: I need... C: You look beautiful today, darling.
J: I need you to help me be sensitive with other people, definitely,
because otherwise I just can be a bit insensitive sometimes.
C: You need me to play with you. J: Yeah, I do! I should've put that one at the top.
J: I need a play-mate.
C: You need me to be tolerant of you
J: Yeah. C: You did sort of say that in a way, like, to an extent--
J: I am quite irritating.
C: You need to share confidences with me.
J: So, now we move on to secondary colours
C: And that's why I'm like, "Oh, I quite like this whole colour thing."
C: If it was just like, "You're a white;" "You're a yellow," I'd be like, "This is bulls***."
J: Interestingly, between us, we have all four of the colours
You are a white, but you're also a red.
That means your motive is power
C: Apparently, if you--once you have your two colours, there's also then a name,
just to complicate the matters and we're just completely thrown by that and we haven't been able to find--
J: It's not even in the book! C: No, it's not even in the book!
J: That's just what Stevie told us!
C: I think it's like an Americanism. J: Stevie, help us.
C: A white-red, like myself, is a unicorn
J: Woooo.
C: Because it's rare. J: "You need to be allowed your own space,
but you also need to be right."
J: "You need tolerance, but you also need approval from a very select few."
C: Mmhm. J: "To withhold your insecurities and to hide them,
at the same time."
J: Mmm. C: So if you ever see me--if you ever meet me
and I'm just kind of like arms folded in the background whilst Jessica's like,
"Hi, everybody!" and I'm like [grumpy face] - I actually probably just feel really awkward
J: Whilst Claudia is a unicorn, I am a Pegasus.
C: Woo! We're both flying horses, so that's great. J: We are, we're so special.
J: Weee!
J: So I'm a yellow-blue.
Which means I want to have fun, but I also want intimacy.
I want to look good, socially, but I also want to be good.
I want to be noticed, but I also want to be understood.
Do I?
I want to hide my insecurities loosely and to reveal my insecurities.
C: "Loosely."
J: I want playful adventure, but also security.
C: I think when you put them together like that, it really sums us up.
C: I love it. J: I wish we'd been sponsored by this book.
C: We have not been sponsored by this book.
[Something falls]
[Jessica yelps, amused]
[Both laugh]
C: Why?
J: A red-blue is an empress or emperor,
J: because that's what Stevie is. C: Uh-huh.
C: Blue-red is a vampire. J: Yeah, that's what Clara is.
J: Now, a white-yellow is a shapeshifter.
A blue yellow is a medusa.
That's my nemesis.
C: Oh, a white-blue is an elf. J: Yes.
C: We're kind of going off-topic. Anyway, the point is, as you can tell,
is all a bit of fun.
Justify your behaviours by your Chinese Zodiac;
your star sign... J: Myers-Briggs.
C: Yep, your Myers-Briggs score; your Color Code; your Harry Potter House (alligance)
J: Yeah. Yep, yep.
J: Basically, we're gonna put the link down below to the Color Code test.
You should take the test, find out what you are, and then get really riled up about it.
And then talk to all of your friend about it..
J: And, er - it gives you many hours of conversation
My God, because it was all we talked about at Summer in the City.
C: And it started at VidCon. J: It did.
J: But now we have classed all of our friends into boxes, so that's good!
And now we're doing it to you, too: our internet friends.
J: See, spreading it.
C: Are you a unicorn like me? High five! J: Or a Pegasus, like me? Double five!
C: Yeah, with your wings. J: Is that high ten? High ten!
J: Are you a unicorn-Pegasus couple?
J: Please tell me if someone is a unicorn-Pegasus couple. C: Oh, yeah!
J: Bye, everyone, thank you so much for coming to listen to our ramblings and staying 'til the end.
J: Good job! C: Hope you enjoyed the video; we apologise deeply.
