Primary Personality Components: Beyond Gender, Race, Age and family positioning


We have developed social constructs of understanding personalities in which we can make sense of behaviors and interpersonal relationships.  These social constructs include:  gender, race, age, birth order and cultural background.  These categories help people to gain bearings and foundational underpinnings of people such that they can relate and position self and other accordingly.


The above-mentioned constructs are secondary personality shaping factors that influence people’s psyches and who they become in the world.  These variables are helpful facets for understanding people in order to help functioning with respect to self and other .

Due to the fact that these constructs are secondary variables affecting our personalities, it is important for us to examine primary factors creating the foundational blueprints to our personalities.

If we gain understanding of our primary human personality differences before the socially conditioned layers are overlaid onto psyche, we will be better able to navigate our relationships and create beneficial interpersonal dynamics.

By examining the primary personality differences, we remove the socially conditioned variables and much of the subjectivity and conditioning that is quite arbitrary in nature when trying to understand people, their cognitions, language choices and behaviors.

The primary personality ingredient is Oxytocin.  As human beings, we have 3 varying Oxytocin level ranges.  These ranges are dependent upon our DNA letter combinations located on Chromosome 3p25.  We have either:  AA, GG or AG.  LIVIN4d has categorized the GG form of Oxytocin and the AG form of Oxytocin as one color:  Blue, due to the fact that the G “trumps” the A in terms of affect expression factors.  The AA has been categorized as Orange.

Based on whether or not an individual has the AA form of expression of Oxytocin or the AG, GG form of Oxytocin expression determines a number of intrinsic different personality attributes.  Blue Personality Types and Orange Personality Types have different ways of parenting, different ways of communicating, different ways of receiving information, different memory styles, different lengths of conversation preferences, different ways of making sense of “chunking information.”  These examples are just a few of the varying personality styles and ways of being in the world that are determined by the DNA coding for Oxytocin.

The reason why it is important to understand an individual’s primary personality type has to do with understanding one’s assets and liabilities.  If personality type is known from an early age, children can be placed in schools and teachers can help Blue to cultivate Orange characteristics in order to maximize their full personality character.  Teachers can help Orange to cultivate Blue Personality Type characteristics in order to enhance their full personality character. The more range one has on the personality spectrum, the more social skills and interpersonal awareness one has.

If not identified in childhood, knowing the personality type of an individual as an adult is also helpful in order to better socially navigate around with respect to others.  It is also helpful to know in terms of job placement and social connections.

When a person has a thorough understanding of his/her genetic personality blueprint, it is helpful for him in terms of understanding his relational “eases” and  “diseases.”
