Understanding the Spark
You live by emotion, instinct, and immediacy. When something feels important, you act. You thrive in moments that demand courage or spontaneity, and you dislike spending too much time analyzing what should simply be done. You might be the person who says yes to a sudden trip or who speaks up when everyone else hesitates. Routine drains you, while genuine excitement wakes you up instantly.
Dominant Driver
Red is the drive toward intensity and honest expression. It shows up in people who act on what they feel, say the thing everyone else is dancing around, and would rather live a vivid life than a perfectly controlled one. This might be the friend who texts “I’m outside, let’s go”, the person who laughs loudly, cries openly, or makes big gestures when something matters. At its hardest moments, Red can jump too fast, stir up drama, or burn out—only realizing afterward that not every impulse needed to become an action.
Lacking Driver
When you lack White, plans stay vague, boundaries are unclear, and you often postpone decisions with a vague 'we'll sort it out later' until something breaks. Commitments feel optional, shared spaces slide into mess or drama, and it becomes hard to trust that anyone—including you—will actually show up in the way they said they would.
Lacking Driver
When you lack Blue, life runs mostly on habit and immediate reactions. You make decisions because 'that’s how it’s always done' or 'everyone else is doing it', with little patience for questions or deeper reflection. You or the people around you get irritated when asked to slow down, change your mind, or look at nuance, and the idea of learning before acting feels like a burden rather than a resource.

- Says the thing everyone's thinking but won't say, breaking through politeness to the real conversation
- Makes ordinary moments feel alive—you're the reason people remember that random Tuesday
- Jumps before looking and sometimes lands badly—impulsive decisions you regret by morning
- Leaves a trail of unfinished projects, started with passion and abandoned when the novelty wore off
