Example of a response that received credit:
I chose the color red; it has been my favorite color since I can remember.
Red excites me in clothing, especially in dresses or clothing that I find personally attractive. I also find it attractive in lipstick since red can be considered as one of the colors that attracts the human eye. I would say that a combination of someone dancing to a hip-hop/rap/pop song using something with the color red would excite me/attract me (I love to dance so that’s the reason). Lastly it excites me when I see it on certain food, in this case pizza. My results showed that overall I am 43% extroverted and 57% introverted and I have high emotional intelligence, organizational skills, and creativity. I am surprised by the creativity trait as I do not consider myself very creative. This may be because I correlate creativity with artistic ability (which I lack), but need to consider how I may be creative in other ways. I agree with the other two high traits- I am extremely organized and feel I have a high level of emotional intelligence. I can empathize with others and often have friends coming to me for my perspective.
