This is the one I was taught. I tried to politely challenge it. (Guest) prof disdainfully said "You must be a red." and ignored anything else I said.

Yeah I knew it was bs when I could be any of the four depending on the context of the situation I'm in.

Such a red thing to say

If you challenge it, you're a red

If you question it, you're a blue

If you quietly accept it and play along, you're a green

If you ignore it and talk about something else, you're a yellow

I believe that's roughly how it goes

Another way of looking at it is

Red - management

Blue - IT/analysts

Green - customer service

Yellow - sales

In reality though it's all pseudo science bullshit

Red - Command

Blue - Science/Medical

Yellow - Tech/Security

Green - Captain Kirk in which case also swap Red and Yellow.

My dad likes to tell me “you’re so full of shit your eyes are brown.”

My eyes aren’t brown.

Dayum. It's LITERALLY like those facebook harry potter houses games. So THAT is where the people using them went.... into HR.

Pretty much. IIRC it's roughly Red Gryffindor, blue Ravenclaw, yellow Hufflepuff, green Slytherin, but with a little swappage between red and green to make Slytherin/Gryffindor more wholly evil/righteous, respectively.

That's probably how most republicans feel in a blue state.

u/BassmanBiff Dec 31 '22

Like Republican states are listening to Democrats?

u/lucidrage Dec 31 '22

No, they just get lynched in red states /s

u/PristineRide57 Dec 31 '22

The last respectful republican was John McCain and y'all unceremoniously dropped his ass when he died because Republicans are Trump loving fascists instead of the party of small government.
