Color Me Crimson



My personality is, apparently, red. The description for 'reds' would tell you that I am power hungry, manipulative, a work-a-holic, practical and logical, and a 'control freak'.  I need to look good, be right, and be respected. I only seek the approval of a select few people. I hide my insecurities. I am a productive and a good leader. I like challenging adventure. This is the generic description for my color personality.

In some regard, I believe that these results are accurate.

I do like to have control over my life. In many cases, I may disagree with someone that I care about, but I have the mind-set to believe that my opinion and decisions may be more logical and correct. I do try to be open to other opinions. It is possible to sway my opinion if they pose more practical ideas.  I do not intentionally try to have power over the life of another. I believe that every person has the right to control how they live.

If I am manipulative, it is unintentional. Apparently I am though. I have been told that I am, and I hated hearing it. I have been making an effort to stop...hopefully it is working.

I do like to work. I gave up an opportunity to be on the swim team in high school so that I could continue working. I feel that filling time productively is important. To be idle is to cut yourself short.

I am very realistic. I take risks into consideration and the pros and cons in making decisions. I like to be careful about the things that I do, because I do not want to end up in a hard situation. Unfortunately, my cautious nature has failed to prevent me from experiencing trials and errors. Luckily, I can take those experiences and apply them to future decisions.

I do not think that I am a 'control freak'. I do like to be orderly and have particular preferences to how things should be, but I am aware that my way is not always good for everyone. I try to limit my control so that it does not interfere with the comfort of others.

I do try to have a pleasant appearance...I am pretty sure most people like to look good though...red or not. I do think that I may have taken it to a bit of an extreme, though. I have a very large wardrobe that is relatively carefully organized. I like to shop, but when I do, I am particular about the quality of construction and fiber content, and I take it into consideration. I will not buy something that is cheaply made. Buckle is the worst place you can buy a shirt, if you want it to hold its integrity for more than a couple of months(they have nice jeans though...). I feel naked without earrings or makeup...although, I will not to apply too much. Cake-face is gross, and yes, we can all tell that you are wearing half the bottle on your face. I am pretty comfortable in sweats and t-shirts too though...

I do like being right. I try to be educated to be so, though. I am not going to demand that my opinion is right, though....because it isn't always. Many people have heard the words "I am always right" pass my lips...I am usually teasing when I say that...or at least mostly teasing. I blame Mike for that. In 10th grade we had a disagreement about which side of a mail-truck is the driver's side. I was correct...and I don't think he has actually ever proven me wrong about anything since then...

Respect is a huge deal to me. In some cases, I would prefer respect over love. Don't get me wrong, love is great and all, but it is possible to love nearly anything. It is harder to earn respect...well, that is my opinion anyhow...

I do seek the approval of a select few people. I try to be a people-pleaser, but if I have to compromise what I believe is right in order to do that, I will not. I am the only person who can decide what is best for me. I am willing to accept advice from my parents, priesthood leaders that preside over me, a few close friends, and a few teachers that have earned my respect and trust, but anyone else cannot expect me to take their advice. I will hear it, but ultimately it will be my call.

I am very good at hiding my insecurities. That is probably all that I will say about that...for obvious reasons. Self-preservation.

Productivity is important...I can refer to being a 'work-a-holic'...to be idle is to cut yourself short. Consider video games, perhaps?

I think I am very capable of being a leader, but only if people choose to follow me. I am no tyrant. Hopefully I can live such a life that the values I hold are correct and can be held with importance by others as well. If that is the case, I would be content in leading them.

I do enjoy a challenge....and adventure. I like to set goals for myself. I find pleasure in progression. Combined with a little adrenaline, progression reaps satisfaction.

This is my self-dissection, in the respect that I am a 'red personality'. Take me, or leave me, baby.


Oh...and if anyone just happens to be curious about the other colors... my color code results were 40% red, 37% blue, 14% white, and 9% yellow. Start page them, if you feel inclined to do so.
