Color Coding System: Book Summary  Surrounded by Psychopaths

Charming, charismatic, and kind, or boring, selfish, and manipulative? Psychopaths have both traits, and that's exactly what makes them so dangerous. By learning your personality type through a simple four-color system to categorize your behaviors and activities in different situations, you can see psychopaths' deceiving behaviors and prevent further attempts—their force to destroy your life. The engaging and informative book Surrounded by Psychopaths gives you everything you need to deal with life's most skilled intruders and identify psychopaths around you before it's too late! 

Weaknesses and behavioral traits that others could exploit should be reviewed by William Moulton Marston's color coding system to understand your behavior and those of others. This system is called DISC (Domination, Induction, Submission, and Compliance). Colors are defined as follows: Red: musty (don't get in their way), yellow: inspirational (walks on clouds), green: stable (hard to change and may never happen), blue lam: analysis (only perfect things will be done.
 

Standard techniques for controlling others and deceiving others include: 

• Optional positive performance: praise it, then hold it and stop it 
• Love Bombardment: Praise More First, Then Step Back 
• Undetectable ambiguities: Divert attention from the real problem by pretending you have a problem. Use your emotions against you: Put pressure on your weaknesses, especially the ones you don't like.  Drama Triangle: Speaking passionately in the introduction to the third person  
• Gaslight: distorts other people's sense of reality and doubts one's sanity (from the movie Gaslight, in which a man drives his wife crazy by secretly changing the lights and various elements) other environments while negating them.
• Negative reinforcement: When you do something they like, they stop doing something you don't like.
