Summary of SD Spiral Dynamics

The document describes 9 different color categories (beige, purple, red, blue, orange, green, yellow, turquoise, coral) that each represent a different worldview or way of thinking. Each color is associated with a description, basic concerns, popular names, basic motives, thinking style, typical structures, processes, time period, and examples of how people with that worldview may behave in different life conditions. The colors range from more primitive survival-focused views to modern holistic views that consider the global system as a whole.
