Precise, sometimes late and occasionally a paragraph. Emeralds answer the question you asked, exactly. They dislike vague plans and may not use emoji at all. If you text an Emerald, be specific; if you are an Emerald, a quick "got it, will reply properly tonight" keeps people from guessing.
Texting tips for Emeralds
- A quick "got it, will reply properly later" keeps people from guessing.
- Add one personal line before the question, and a thank-you after the answer.
- Not every plan needs to be confirmed in writing; a loose "see you Saturday" is fine.
Scripts that work by text
- Asking for something: "I want to give this proper thought. Can I get back to you by Thursday?"
- Saying no: "I can't take this on without dropping something important. Which would you rather I pause?"
- After a tense moment: "When the plan changed without warning, I felt thrown. Can we agree how we handle changes?"
Texting and relationships
Texting is now a normal part of relationships: Pew Research Center found many couples use texts and messages to feel closer, and some use them to resolve arguments they couldn't have face to face. Differences in texting style are common sources of misunderstanding, so it's worth naming them out loud.
Compare styles: Crimson, Cobalt, Amber, Coral, Violet, Gold, Sage.
