I am having problems determining which answer is MOST like me.

There are no right or wrong answers on the Real Colors Virtual Instrument.

To the degree possible, consider your true self. Do not limit yourself to your life only at work or only at home. Consider yourself from all aspects. Be honest with yourself. It is important to put aside what you feel others thing you “should be” or “should do.” Read the choices for each question and decide what is real for you and not what others expect you should be or should do..

Why can't I click submit?

If you are unable to click the “Submit” button please review each tab and make sure all information has been completed.

I'm finished! What happens next?

Once you’ve made it to the “Way to Go!” screen, the instrument has been completed! Results are sent to your facilitator who will provide them during or leading up to the Real Colors portion of your program.
