Ah, this sounds like one of those “personality test” claims based on colors. Here’s a clear, realistic take:
What This Type of Test Really Is
- Tests like “the first three colors you see reveal your personality” are psychological games, not scientifically validated methods.
- They can be fun for self-reflection, but they don’t reliably predict behavior or how you intimidate people.
- The colors you notice first are influenced by personal experiences, mood, environment, and even screen settings — not fixed personality traits.
Why It Feels Accurate
- These tests often use vague, flattering, or universally relatable statements. This is called the Barnum effect — your brain fills in meaning that seems personal.
- For example, if a color is linked to “confidence” or “dominance,” most people can see themselves in that description to some degree, even if it’s not scientifically tied to their behavior.
A Safer Way to Understand How You Intimidate or Influence People
Instead of relying on colors:
- Observe others’ reactions to your communication style.
- Notice body language cues — people feel intimidated by loud tones, rapid speech, or very direct eye contact, for example.
- Reflect on past interactions — which behaviors caused people to feel cautious, and which built trust?
Bottom line:
The “first three colors you see” can be fun and give you insight into how you feel, but it’s not a proven measure of how intimidating or dominant you are. Real insight comes from observing interactions, feedback, and self-reflection.
I can also make a quick, evidence-based quiz that actually shows how your personality affects how people perceive you — more reliable than the color game.
Do you want me to do that?
