They are also cheerful, optimistic and see the "silver lining" of every cloud first. They are surrounded by a lively and good atmosphere. They win over people with their smiles and charm. They trust others and believe in the best in people. Generally, they communicate well, which primarily means talking well. They are able to tailor their message to the audience. They feel their best in a large group of people, they have many friends and acquaintances and enjoy being in the centre of their attention. They are happy to be in the limelight and have a sense of achievement, if others are focussing on them. Acknowledgement is importantat to them, they are proud of awards and public recognition. They are easily animated and can easily animate or even motivate  others.

This patter shows activity, meaning that Yellow individuals want  change, would like to make their environment even friendlier and invite even more people into their circles and become even more popular with them.  This type of person is people-centred, so Yellows focus primarily on others, their opinions and moods.
They are curious about other people, want to get to know more and more of them, even if that affects the depth of these relationships.

These individuals see the world sometimes a little too rosy. They are so trusting that occasionally, they can be deceived. Others can perceive their cheerfulness as superficiality. Their talkativeness may turn into babbling, which can be made worse by their inability to listen. As they want to make a good impression on others, they make promises which they don't always care to keep. Even though they are an enthusiastic type, their enthusiasm is often just a passing flame, and they go on to another "object" to admire. Despite having many friends, only few of their friendships are deep.
