SDi

I often reference Spiral Dynamics Integral when talking about development, and it can be a bit confusing for folks not initiated. Here’s a quick rundown.

Second Tier:

  turquoise: holarchical, integral

  yellow: holistic, systemic

First Tier:

  green: pluralistic, postmodern

  orange: achievement, modern

  blue: traditional, conformist

  red: egocentric, power

  purple: magical, animistic

  beige: instinctual, archaic

70% of the world is at the blue-meme stage, which corresponds mostly with fundamentalism. Republicans and Conservatives most often fall into this category (Nazis as well), as do al quaeda and other terrorist groups (terrorists themselves are red-memers, while the social structure is blue).
The leading edge of American and Canadian conservatives orange.
Democrats and Liberals most often fall in orange and green, with a few leading edge folks approaching second tier.
NDP and Green Party members are often green-memers, but some do sneak into second tier.
