Xanthin is another word for yellow. Yellow is also a personality type, as characterized by advocates of the Color Code Personality Science people. Several similar systems are out there, but this one categorizes people into one of four colors, Red, Blue, White, and Yellow. I came out as a primary Blue with a White secondary (it was nearly a tie between Red and White as my secondary colors, but White was just a couple percentage points more). According to this science, I am primarily motivated by Intimacy. Whites are motivated by Peace (absolutely, I can relate to that). Red’s driving core motives are Power, and Yellow’s driving core motives are Fun.
I didn’t really see the intimacy thing for me, but when I read more information, I could see where it was coming from. Or, as someone said when we were talking about this, and she asked how long I’d been married. When I said 22 years, she paused before saying, “I’d say that having a primary relationship is kind of an important thing in your life.” Put in perspective that way, I can kind of see that.

I’ve been more familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); however, the Color Code (and I know there are several variants out there), also works to educate people to the various gifts each person brings to a team. And I do find those things interesting about different people.

What color or type are you? I consistently test in the INTJ range for MBTI.
