PACS 4 colours personality test
What does our PACS test stand for?
PACS stands for Personal Attitude and Communication Style.
This 4-colour test offers immediate and clear insight into behavioural style, communication preferences, and motivations of teams and employees. The model distinguishes four colour types—red, yellow, blue, and green—each representing a specific way of thinking, acting, and collaborating, based on the insights of Carl Gustav Jung. After completing the test, you will receive a clear and concise colour profile, supplemented with concrete do's & don'ts and practical guidelines for collaboration, onboarding, and talent development.
This questionnaire is specially designed for use in daily practice so that HR, coaches, and teams can quickly and effectively gain insight into mutual communication, team roles, and work patterns. Importantly, the colour profile is always used as a conversation starter, not as a label or final judgement, fostering constructive dialogue and sustainable growth. Thanks to the in-depth reporting, there is a greater understanding of individual qualities, laying the foundation for successful team development, improved cooperation, and future-oriented leadership.
Applications: recruitment, team development & coaching
The PACS four-colour personality test is for anyone who wants to gain deeper insight into communication, behaviour and energy. Specifically, the test is ideal for
- HR and recruiters who want quick insight into behavioural styles and team dynamics during onboarding and development.
- Teams and organisations that want to build more collaboration, mutual understanding and clear communication.
- Coaches, trainers and managers who want to apply effective leadership and strengthen communication.
- Anyone who wants to understand their own behaviour better and develop their talents.
How does the PACS four-colour personality test work?
Each participant completes the online questionnaire. You then receive a detailed report with:
- Dominant colour (red, yellow, blue, green)
- 15 unique personal colour profiles
- Practical tips for communication and collaboration
- Concrete tools for onboarding, talent development and leadership
15 unique profiles
The PACS four-colour personality test distinguishes 15 unique profiles, with each participant receiving one. This profile provides clear insight into communication style, collaboration, results-oriented behaviour and personal development.
The test also answers the question “Which colour am I?”: yellow as an enthusiastic connector, red as a decisive leader, blue as a thoughtful analyst or green as a caring stabiliser. Each colour represents unique strengths as well as areas for growth.
It’s important that the profile is always used within the context of dialogue, focusing on communication and the specific situation. This way, the PACS four-colour test remains a valuable conversation tool rather than a label.
