What Your Texting Style Says About You

The way you text (and what you text) reveals a lot about who you are…

There are 4 different types of texters—find out which one you are!

But first, let’s talk about the four different Energy Types and how each influence your texting style.

Energy Profiling is a system that teaches about the 4 Types of nature. Everything in our world leads with one of those Types—including people! Your Energy Type shows up in everything you do: the way you drive, in your handwriting, and even in the way you text.

Let’s dig in! Which of these 4 texting styles most accurately describes you?

Type 1 – The Emoji Queen

Type 1 people have a more random and spontaneous nature. They are light, uplifting, bubbly, animated, and they LOVE to have fun!

Because of this, the Type 1 texting style uses lots of emojis. They also have fun with GIFs, and they like to use acronyms, such as LOL, TTFN, ROFL, & BRB. If this similar to the way you text, you just might be a Type 1 texter.

Sometimes they write out a text but never actually send it, and they often are more likely to text at odd hours of the day!

Out of all the Energy Types, the Type 1 texter will be the most likely to have the unread notification icon on their messages app—this can also apply to emails or voicemail. Drop a comment below if you have a high number of unread messages!

Type 2 – The Careful Communicator

Type 2 people have a more subdued and gentle nature, and they are known for being thoughtful, calming, and soft in their expression.

Their texting style can get can be lengthy with a lot of details since they prefer texts over phone calls. They add information about their plans, their feelings, and explain why they’re writing.

They also make a point to use emojis and punctuation in order to reassure their reader that they’re happy.

While some Type 2 texters appreciate a reply right away (so they can think about the response or move forward with plans), other Type 2 texters find that because they regularly “disconnect” from their phones, they don’t mind if people take a while to write back too.

Type 3 – The Swift Texter

Type 3 people are active, practical, busy, and passionate. They like to use texts to get to the point and move things forward.

The Type 3 texter is active and reactive, and their texts can have a “rapid fire” feel to them! Their texting style includes sending a lot of short texts rather than one long one. Sometimes this means they miss details that have already been discussed.

They are known to use exclamation points (sometimes several at a time) to express their passion, and they might type a word in CAPS to get their point across.

Because they love to “get stuff done,”, if they’re waiting on someone’s reply before they can move forward, they can get impatient. It’s funny, though, because sometimes the Type 3 texter is busy doing other things, and they are the least likely to respond to someone else’s text right away.

Type 4 – The Black & White Messenger

Type 4 people are bold, precise, and clear. They have a gift of perfecting the world around them, and they’re known to have an all-or-nothing approach to their lives.

Because of this, some will use emojis to “soften” their short and concise answers. They usually count on tone and facial expression to communicate the emotion and meaning behind their blunt words; but with texting, that advantage is lost. Smiley faces help to tell the other texter that they’re really happy.

On the other hand, there are Type 4 texters who don’t soften anything in their texts. They are engaging in person, but everything they text is matter-of-fact. They text only what is necessary—even one word, whatever most effectively communicates the information that’s needed.

You won’t find them overusing exclamation points, and they usually don’t feel the need to respond if there isn’t a definite question within the text. If there is a question, they take their time to reply if it’s something they need to think about.
