The True Colors of those I know

There are 4 True Colors, Orange for spontaneity, Blue for compassion, Green for logic and Gold for organization. So I apparently have to classify my teachers and students in some of the broadest strokes possible, and it's still not as good as Myers Briggs. First, blue, as for my teacher, I'd have to say my band director Mr. Tripp falls nicely into that category, when he's not concerned about the feelings of all of his instrumentalists (which is rare), it's because he's feeling so much emotion that the part of his mind thinking that this isn't terribly kind is being drowned out. Coincidentally, the Bluest student I can think of is in the band, a trumpeter name Breeze. She's somewhat naive, but only because of that compassion, and though she doesn't tend to get large bursts of emotion, it may be she just hides them for the benefit of those around her. And green, Mr. Aydt's pretty logical, not uptight, but he doesn't think very freeformy if that makes sense, probably not but whatever. As for a student, none that I know, they may be somebody I'm just not thinking of, but as far as I know I don' know any overly logical kids my age. I wouldn't say I have any orange teachers, same for students, most of them have mellowed out with age, and tend to ditch their spontaneity, though I don't really know most of the people my age anyway, so I could just not being seeing it.
Everett's a gold, definitely, he's peppered with the other archetypes too but he is a very structured and civic person, teacher wise, maybe Mrs. Wilson, to her, the journey is the destination, and the journeying will take place within the designated area and with footsteps to the beat of the drum, if you must rest feet shoulder-width apart and head lolling at a forty-five degree angle, take that as you will.
That's pretty much it.
