Type Seven: The Lively Entertainer
As a type Seven, you are driven by a desire to live life to the fullest and experience all it has to offer.
A textbook optimist, you stay on the move seeking out your next adventure and trying to avoid any and all pain.
You are busy with childlike enthusiasm, and you are well-liked by others. The life of any party, you are the extroverted friend who is eager to meet new people and expand your circle. You appear scattered to many as you are usually working through multiple ideas at the same time. You thrive off of having many options to choose from, and you do not want to be limited or restricted. Your desire is to feel stimulated and content in whatever you’re doing. You hate being idle, and your biggest fear is missing out on a better experience. Freedom is what you thrive off of, and you enjoy taking on life as it comes to you.
Your greatest strengths include your high energy and optimism.
You can single-handedly shift the mood of an entire room with your joyful attitude. You are quick on your feet and able to learn a new task or skill with ease. You are adaptable if something has to change last minute, and you can help anticipate what’s next with your visionary mindset for the future. Since you are such an in-the-moment person, you struggle to commit to plans. One reason for this is your fear of a better plan coming along and having to miss out on that. This reluctance to commit tends to frustrate those in your life. You have a tendency to become bored very quickly, and as a result, you can make impulsive decisions that sometimes have devastating consequences. Others can also perceive you as self-centered since you often make your decisions solely based on the amount of enjoyment it will bring you. A major weakness for you is rationalizing away, or just ignoring, your negative emotions.

The consistent ignorance of your negative emotions will catch up to you, so work towards confronting those feelings head-on. Learning the value of pain and negative emotions will offer you more than you ever thought possible. It’s important to allow yourself to feel all ranges of emotion, even the ones you believe are so negative. Try to tap into those emotions and go deeper in your conversations with those around you. It’s also important for you to spend time alone. As an extreme extrovert, this won’t come naturally to you, but time to self-reflect will prove helpful.
