what does the word indigo mean reguarding personality?

Answer 1

I think of Indigo children, a concept from Edgar Cayce described below. Indigo is also often associated with the highest chakra in the body (top of the cranium), its color being transparent or indigo. Someone operating completely 'in' or 'from' this chakra would be considered 'enlightened'.

The term "Indigo Child" comes from psychic and synesthete Nancy Ann Tappe, who classified people's personalities according to the hue of their auras.*

Usually each universal age is accompanied by a preponderance of people with that life color. For instance now most adults are either Blue or Violet, the two colors with the attributes most needed in this the Violet Age of transition. During the next age, the Indigo Age, Indigo colors will be the norm (Understanding Your Life Through Color 1982).

According to Tappe,

The Indigo phenomenon has been recognized as one of the most exciting changes in human nature ever documented in society. The Indigo label describes the energy pattern of human behavior which exists in over 95% of the children born in the last 10 years … This phenomena is happening globally and eventually the Indigos will replace all other colors. As small children, Indigo’s are easy to recognize by their unusually large, clear eyes. Extremely bright, precocious children with an amazing memory and a strong desire to live instinctively, these children of the next millennium are sensitive, gifted souls with an evolved consciousness who have come here to help change the vibrations of our lives and create one land, one globe and one species. They are our bridge to the future.*

Answer 2

The phrase "indigo" is a relatively new pop-culture expression used to define people (generally children) who don't fit the "norm", as in perhaps more creative. If you go on any search engine and simply type in "indigo children", there are several websites that explain the trendy personality label in more depth. I saw this topic on "Oprah" recently and, although I found it to be interesting, I failed to understand the benefit in "identifying" a child as "indigo".
