Understanding the Yappy Yellow Temperament in Relationships

Yappy Yellow is driven by fun, a love for people and being centre-stage. Being extrovert, people-oriented and well capable of expressing emotions, Yellow’s partner will not be in the dark about his or her other half’s feelings and desires. However, this does not mean that relationships with Yellow will be without challenges and frustrations.

If Raving Red or Perfect Blue is the relationship partner, the chaos caused by Yellow will no doubt cause friction. Red and Blue, the two task-oriented temperaments, will also certainly be driven up the wall by Yellow’s lack of task-mindedness and poor time-management. Being late for appointments or even forgetting to pitch, is a typical Yellow reaction – unthinkable and certainly unforgivable for either of the task-driven temperaments. Yellow’s frivolous nature and emphasis on fun, could also irritate Red and Blue who could interpret such behaviour as shallow and insincere. 

Where Yellow is in a relationship with Green, any people-oriented actions make both temperaments happy. The more chaos, the more at home they feel in one another’s company. Budgeting could be a problem since neither rate this as a priority.

On the emotional front, Yellow’s sensitive ego and constant need for recognition could lead to taking even minor criticism from anyone too personal. This could result in serious moping spells and withdrawing in a state of depression and self-pity. 

But, to Yellow’s defence – they are great forgivers and have no problem to say that they are sorry. When their quick tempers flare up, they could just as suddenly stop dead in their tracks, let bygones be bygones and let their perpetrators get away with a hug.
