Orange Communication Patterns
Oranges have a tendency to be very straightforward and actively involved. The more extroverted Oranges will use large gestures and body movements and speak rather fast-paced and animated. Since they are "here and now" oriented, Oranges may have an inclination to make quick decisions and interrupt to share immediately what is on their mind at the moment. They are most likely at the center of attention, telling colorful stories or jokes, entertaining all that will listen. They are master multi-talkers. For instance, they might walk around while eating, tell a story while dancing, or cook while visiting.
What to expect from Oranges during the Holidays
* Fun-loving Oranges typically look forward to all the Holiday parties. They like to dress to be noticed. They dance and celebrate with food, drink, and fun!
* Instead of planning, Oranges may like to "hang loose", keeping their options open for whatever comes up at the moment.
* Oranges like to be physically involved in making the holidays fun, whether it's decorating their house so flamboyantly it looks like a cross between Las Vegas and an amusement park or going places and doing things that surprise everyone.
* Oranges especially like the big responses they get from giving outrageous or extravagant gifts.
* Oranges enjoy challenging physical activities like playing games, competing, and performing.
* If they can be the center of attention with a good story, lousy karaoke song, or a gut-buster joke, then they'll take any opportunity they can get.
* Oranges need a lot of space and freedom to make the holiday fun and may have a hard time following rigid traditions-they just want everyone to have a good time.
