Red types are motivated by feeling important, and they best way they have found to do that is by setting goals and challenges for themselves.

• How many challenges does a Red type set for themselves each day? A countless number. They do it for everything!
• They are permanently jump-starting themselves. It’s important to understand that Red types won’t set goals that they can’t meet. Red types hate losing. They challenge themselves to move forward, but not to lose.
• The idea of needing to feel important is internal to Red types. They don’t do it to earn praise from others. They want to feel important in their own eyes. This gives them energy.
• Other people aren’t aware of how Red types work. Red types are results-driven, and they don’t care at all how they get those results. This is contrary to Blue types who are goal-oriented, and feel obliged to respect a process, a procedure, and stages.
• Red types do a lot of sports, and need it. This allows them to expend their abundance of energy, and they will often push themselves to the point of fatigue. Physical activity also offers them many opportunities to challenge themselves to do better, to push their limits. Red types who engage in a lot of physical activity (3-4 times a week) rarely show their stress-based or conditional behaviours. So much physical activity allows them to regulate their energy.
• If you have children who are Red types, in order to help them manage their frustration and not fidget in class, they have to be able to participate in a sport. If you forbid it, you risk them failing completely.
