I am...RED?

[lyricality]

I snatched this from halogirl8. The actual test is here.

REDS are motivated by POWER. They seek productivity and need to look good to others. Simply stated, REDS want their own way. They like to be in the driver's seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. REDS value whatever gets them ahead in life, whether it be in their careers, school endeavors, or personal life. What REDS value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist doing anything that doesn't interest them.

REDS like to be right. They value approval from others for their intelligence and practical approach to life, and want to be respected for it. REDS are confident, proactive, and visionary; but can also be arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. When others interact with you, as a RED you respond to them best if they are precise, factual, direct, AND show no fear!


...This is sort of peculiar. I had never realized before that I was really very confident as a child, often selfish, and always convinced I was right. Like I said to Anita afterward, it's almost as if I was born Red and have been trying to make myself Blue or White ever since. I've always had to struggle with caring about people distant from me--people I don't know. I can manage it in a general sense, but when it comes down to individuals, I usually couldn't care less about strangers. I do still usually think that I'm right, but I know I'm not always justified in that, and I don't often apply that sort of judgment to morality.

Even in college I had to eventually admit that I was very secretly but very highly competitive. I've always been extremely self-motivated and entirely loyal to the people I love, almost to a fault (I've had largely the same small group of friends since high school, no matter how much physical distance now intervenes).

A little revelatory for me, I suppose.

You know, even if it's a surprise to you, when I consider it, I can totally see this.

I can see this too, though I'd say I think there's a little bit of Red in most of us. I mean, I came out as Yellow but I know I'm secretly competitive too. I just lack that Red motivation and confidence ^^;

I took the test as well, it's on my LJ. *snuggle*
