I think this test was created for people who didn't undergo a major personality change in fourth-fifth grade. I took in the first time, acting like I was under the age of ten. I took it the second time, acting like I was over the age of ten. I got two different results, which concur with the two personalities I've had in my life. I still retain traces of the first, mostly the good ones, but I have been largely taken over by this second set of characteristics. Tell me if these seem accurate:
personality under nine= RED.
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!

I think I still retain some of these characteristics. This is how my mom is, and when I was young I was a lot like my mom. I still get done what I value, and I'm still a workaholic. I seek productivity and some part of me needs to look good to others. Most of those other things, however, no longer describe me at all.
My personality now= BLUE (but also WHITE mixed in)
BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.
BLUES have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone, once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

Most of that describes me. I don't pay any attention to special events though, and several of my friends are yet to receive their birthday presents. And I don't believe I've been self-righteous very often (but I am worry-prone and moody).
Here are some WHITE characteristics that I have (most of the WHITE stuff doesn't apply to me, but these things do):
WHITES are motivated by PEACE. They seek independence and require kindness. WHITES need their "alone time." WHITES are much stronger than people think, but are not often seen for their strength because they don't easily reveal their feelings.

My father is a white. I think I get the blue from my mom and the white from my dad. My mom is kinda a blue-red-yellow, more red than and yellow than blue, but still containing enough blue to give it to me (if only genetics were this simple). My father is pretty much just white. He's the only one of us that fits neatly in a color.
I just thought this interesting. Do you think it's accurate?

I'm blue.
Not that you couldn't have figured that out by yourself :)
I think most little kids are red. I don't think people have core colors. I'm glad we share the value of intimacy... it makes it easier to have an "intense interpersonal relationship" with you. (That's easily the best part of borderline... the intensity, when the relationships are good. And this one is good.)
neither of your guys's results surprise me. however, i believe very few people always can be explained with just one of those colors that stays their whole life. like shea, i see mostly red in you, but also white. and i think i might see white in you ariel, although to me you are pretty obviously, by this test, blue.
and shea, it's a personality test. that right there is a kind of contrary statement. there's assumptions in every question. but it's easier than paying for a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation.
what i find really interesting are the keywords used to assign your color. if your answers include predominantly passive, quiet, and caring type adjectives you're a blue. if you are argumentative, loud, and possibly obnoxious you're a red, etc. i think most people have elements of all those things, and so they are usually pretty accurate, but only to a degree.
and i'm a blue with bits of red. surprise.
