SDI Self Analysis

My results from the SDI self test indicated that I have high levels of orange, red, and blue. My highest level of acceptance on the SDI self test was blue which represents one right way, purpose in causes and Guilt based sacrifice; my highest level of rejection on the SDI self test was yellow which represents a view of the bigger picture.

I think my results really do reflect on my life as of taking the self test. Looking back on what I have been through in the last two years alone has led me to believe that these results are fairly accurate. Two years ago I experience my first life changing moment when I asked my Fiancée to marry me, less than a month after proposing we were married on October 12th 2006. Less than two months after being married we discovered
that we were pregnant and nine months later my wife gave birth to our first son. These two major events marked a turning point in my life, where my actions and goals were no longer focused on myself but rather being a Husband and Father. I would first analyze my level in orange which to me seems to reflect on how I want to achieve more to provide for my family, for example my Job pays for me to return to school and will help me to achieve my goal of acquiring a Bachelors Degree which upon attaining it will improve my overall quality of life at work and at home.
The next level I would like to analyze is Red. Red to me doesn’t represent being egocentric or saying I’ll take what I can get now and not care about the consequences. Red to me represents the fight in people to survive. When faced with feeding my family and keeping them safe from harm I am more than willing to take chances, be spontaneous and seek out the power I need to make that happen. The last level I will analyze on my acceptance side is Blue which happens to be my highest level. Reading the description of what blue represents I can see a good picture of who I am at that level and why I scored so high there. Every person on this earth is motivated by something, whether money, power, love, or family, this gives us purpose, and without purpose we feel useless; My purpose in life is my family, they give me the strength to carry on and to seek out the things I never thought were possible for myself; Blue also states a form of Guilt-based sacrifice which I couldn’t agree more with, I can look at my own life and see me doing
this all the time due to my son, it’s almost as if I really forget about what I want and sacrifice it to provide for him, I would say the guilt would come from if I gave to myself only to take away from him. The one right way aspect of blue represents me following a set path so to speak, in other words me doing what I know works and sticking to it.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are my Rejection results seemed to fit in with my life, take my highest level yellow for example and I can see why it is for me; currently I am going through a period were I am unable to look at the bigger picture, my situation now has me living on a day to day basis to provide for myself and my family. I don’t see my rejection results as being negative rather I see them as a means of my circumstances as a person right now.

After seeing the results of the SDI test and really looking into what the results say about me is amazing, the ability to see how your personality pans out and to really analyze how it reflects on your life, for example seeing the different levels and then looking at you life to see what aspect could have had an affect on the outcome of that level is quite astounding; It really makes you look at yourself in a whole new light.
