English term or phrase: cool blue
In a former employ I used to work with someone who was for me very slow and deliberate – I’d be sitting at meetings thinking – come on let’s get on with it – and five minutes later my colleague would say can we just go back to that last point – and I’d be thinking why – what’s wrong – come on we’ve done that lets get going – so there was a lot of ‘cool blue’ in this woman – and once that had dawned on me it clicked – her approach was to gather all the data and analyse it from a multitude of angles before she committed to anything – her approach wasn’t wrong – it was just different – we worked together for 19 years and we’re still in regular contact – her ‘cool blue’ was good for me – it on many occasions it made me stop and think

Cool Blue - Introverted Thinking & Reflection; Showing no bias, Objective, Detached; Cautious, Analytical, Precise, Questioning and Formal

People with a high level of Cool Blue energy tend to live their lives according to the principles, facts and logic they find in reality. They often like to analyse all the possibilities to ensure they will avoid making an illogical or ill-informed judgement. They are planners, organisers, administrators and academics, with the ability to work out tasks systematically from start to finish.

As a result of their thoroughness, people with a preference for using their Cool Blue energy are often reluctant to make or express decisions quickly. Facts, logic and principles can appear more important than personal friendships or personal gratification for these people. They may be seen as detached or even rather cold at times.

People with a lot of Cool Blue energy tend to be introverted and have a desire to know and understand the world around them. They like to think before they act and maintain a detached, objective standpoint. They value independence and intellect. They often prefer written communication in order to maintain clarity and precision, radiating a desire for analysis..
