Your answer was BLUE: "Oh, great warrior, hmm?  Wars not make one great.."

Blue Geniuses recoil from conflict of any kind.  They don't consider wars the solution, nor would they ever say that a warrior was "great."  (That is, unless they're protecting their loved ones).  Blue Geniuses seek the most peaceful solution – and situations.

Your answer was GREEN: "Do or do not.  There is no  try."

Green Geniuses don't like wasting time – they want to GET GOING!  So, to them, there is "is no try."  They'd much rather course-correct along the way than do too much testing in advance.

Your answer was RED:: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.."

If you know the movie (or book), "The Shining" you'll remember that too much isolation made Jack Nicholson go crazy!    Red Geniuses need to have "social breaks" throughout the day.  Don't expect them to sit at a desk (or silently in a meeting) without an outlet for interaction and even fun.

Your answer was GOLD: "Houston, we have a problem."

Have you heard the expressing "raising a red flag?"  Well, it should be a GOLD flag, because Gold Geniuses always the ones pointing out dangers ahead.  Their meticulous nature makes them perfect for seeing the potential for things going awry even with the most minute detail.  While this behavior can be frustrating for the other Inner Genius Styles, this Gold Genius style can actually provide a valuable contribution to any team or organization.

Some questions to ask yourself:

2. If you're not a Gold Genius, what are some situations where you've had a Gold Genius on the team identify the problems in advance?  What was your reaction?  
3. Consider the following solution:  Encourage the Gold Geniuses to seek out every possible potential danger or problem – BUT ALSO challenge them to find the solutions.  After all, a key component of Accountability is not just finding problems but also finding the solutions!  (If you participate in the DrawSuccess Contribution & Accountability module, you'll learn more about the factors of Accountability).
