To give you a thorough understanding of how other personalities will interact with you, it is important for you to know how your own personality affects the communication dynamic.

As a Red Persona, you might pursue someone who can match your intellect. Clearly, you’d be interested in looks and build and so on, but if a decision was needed between a few reasonable choices, you’d go with the guy who can match you intellectually.

From early on in a dating situation, you’d be critiquing a guy to see what he knows or how he thinks. As he engages you, you’d soon be evaluating if he could hold his place in a little debate or if he’d fold to your quick-fire mind without a fight, as that wouldn’t be satisfactory. Although your selection process can be very pragmatic, you are likely to be attracted by what you see. You tend to make snap judgements, so to increase your chances of finding the right partner, it is important you try to give your dates a good few chances to get accustomed to your direct manner, so don’t be too dismissive too quickly.

As unpleasant as it might sound, you need to understand that it can be quite daunting for someone to be on a date with you. You can get impatient if the small talk wears thin, or might try to jump into a battle of wits and opinions when all you should be doing is enjoying yourself and the company you’re in. Men can pick up on little things like that very quickly and some might get intimidated by your character. So, next time you find yourself on a date, concentrate on what you like about the guy and don’t turn the date in a critiquing marathon in your head. Once you slow down and give the man a chance to shine, you might just be pleasantly surprised!

Reds are the most testosterone-fuelled type of the eight Personas. Reds are highly competitive, quite domineering, and strive for perfection. You are a high achiever, and more often than not you are at the top of the pack. You bring competition into everything you do, from work to sport to dating.

As a primary [memb_contact fields=_Result1] secondary [memb_contact fields=_Result2] Persona, you love debating, sometimes just for the sake of it. You like the thrill of winning an argument, so when someone is tempted to debate with you, it is unlikely they will walk away the winner.

As a Red Persona, you make decisions quickly on the basis of your strongly held principles, and it is rare for you to change your mind.

When speaking, you are likely to use an abundance of metaphors. You evaluate everything around you and encapsulate that information into metaphors. Due to the fact that your thinking is highly visual, you abbreviate your thoughts into concise chunks of data, and thus a metaphor is an ideal way of expressing yourself. Your conversation tends to be very quick and witty, and you love having intelligent discussions on a wide range of topics.

Others admire you for your drive and ambition, and there should be no shortage of date offers. The only danger is that your profile could be a little scary for some personality types if you are online dating.

When a man starts dating you, he shouldn’t expect you to be affectionate or able to discuss your feelings, as this is not something you find easy to do. You won’t show your emotions until you are really comfortable with a new man. Your privacy is very important to you and you take a dim view of people who move too fast and invade your space.

You are not someone who takes kindly to idle chatter or gossip. You tend to be quite frank and can seriously lack patience.

As a result, your best defence is often to attack. This can lead you down either of two routes. If a conversation is not going the way you would like, you will either switch off quickly or launch into a surprisingly intrusive debate.

You enjoy playing devil’s advocate, taking an opposing view to your own and arguing vehemently, which can leave your adversary feeling confused and bewildered. You use this technique effectively for throwing others off track, and this is a thoroughly enjoyable process for you. You tend to be quite forceful in the way that you talk to others, sometimes even to the point of bullying in order to regain verbal control or the higher ground.

While you pride yourself on being in control, that’s not always actually the case. Every now and then there’ll be a spark which may make you explode with anger and lose control of your emotions. It is probably the case that you are already aware of this trait in your make-up, and it is something that you don’t like very much. As a result, you tend to throw up even more barriers to carefully guard your emotions, in case you lose your temper.

If anyone should become involved in a conflict with you and apply the silent treatment, they really would be better advised not to bother. It will be like water off the proverbial duck’s back and will have absolutely no effect on you whatsoever.

You are not known for giving exaggerated praise and you are not the type of woman to shower your man with compliments. You are more likely to point out what is wrong than to talk about the things you like about him.

On a date, however, you are likely to be quite attentive, polite, almost charming, and if you have anything to do with it, the date will be planned well in advance. You expect things to run like clockwork. You will have a long list of expectations of your date and will feel it is very important that these expectations are met. You are not likely to settle for anything or anyone less.

However, there is no doubt that you are likely to be a very caring partner. You tend to demonstrate this in a practical manner. Your organisational skills are admirable and you like to buy beautiful things. As a Red Persona, you pride yourself on recognising and purchasing things of quality, but there is another side to you. You are also surprisingly prudent with money. You are not afraid to buy expensive gifts and will do so if the relationship is inclined that way. But let’s not confuse these gestures with romance. They are more likely to be of a pragmatic nature.

You don’t tend to relax easily. It takes a while for you to let go and unwind. And even then it is more than likely that you are really still contemplating your next exploit in your head. So why not warn the guy you date and ask him not to be disappointed when he finds himself physically in your company, only to realise that your mind is elsewhere? Tell him not to take it personally.

It will be quite a complicated thing to be in a relationship with you as a Red Persona, but for the discerning man who can stand the heat, it will definitely be a rewarding journey.

You are not quick to give reassurance and we know that sometimes you can be very quick to explode. But it is not as easy to draw you into an argument as others may think.

Arguments will happen only when you are ready, and when that moment arrives, you’re probably not going to lose because you are very sharp, articulate, and verbal, particularly in a competition of wits. You can easily demolish someone with words and maybe that’s a tendency to think carefully about if you are hoping to make a relationship work.

When you explode, you do feel bad afterwards, but not necessarily for the harsh things you have said. Rather it is because you regret losing your composure. You may or may not feel bad about the repercussions of what you said or did.

You are not someone who finds failure easy to handle. It is one of very few things that you find deeply stressful. You will also be quite agitated by a higher than necessary display of emotions. So any man with overly emotional tendencies will soon find that you have swiftly moved on.

Apart from that, you are not prone to stress. Even when you lose your temper, you wouldn’t call it stress. On the rare occasions that stress does affect you, you will disregard other people’s feelings more than ever.

In extreme cases, you will isolate yourself from a problem altogether and just move on because you can and because you don’t care enough.

Any man who is looking for a confident and outspoken woman, who excels in pretty much every area of her life, should want to keep an eye out for you. However, it is only really confident men or those who can engage you intellectually who need apply!

Having a clear understanding of how you come across to others is essential if you want great relationships.

There’s more.

Would you like us to tell you in similar detail which three Personas are your most compatible — and which three are your least compatible?

See below ▼

A Red Persona like you communicates fast, challengingly and intellectually — almost to the point of being blunt. Only those who can match your pace and give back as good as they get will truly appeal to you.

Yellow, Orange, and White are perfectly suited to your style. The dynamic Yellow shares your pace; the ambitious Orange matches your drive and sophistication; and the ingenious White brings the creative problem-solving you admire. You’ll find they keep up, they don’t take things personally, and conversations feel alive, sharp, and rewarding. A Red Persona can also thrive alongside another Red. This works beautifully in friendship, dating, and long-term connection alike.

Where You May Need Care

Your direct, decisive nature means you move fast — and some people simply can’t keep up. The more reserved Mint, Purple, and Blue find your style too brisk, your debates too intense, and your decisions too quick. Their communication may feel slow, overly detailed, or unnecessarily hesitant to you — and your directness may leave them feeling overlooked or overwhelmed.

At heart, you thrive on audacious risk — they tend to be risk-averse. It doesn’t mean these connections can’t work — but knowing where you differ changes everything.
