The Adventurer (the Seven)

Adventurers are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world.

How to Get Along with Me

• Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.
• Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
• Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.
• Don’t try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
• Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
• Don’t tell me what to do.

What I Like About Being a Seven

• being optimistic and not letting life’s troubles get me down
• being spontaneous and free-spirited
• being outspoken and outrageous. It’s part of the fun.
• being generous and trying to make the world a better place
• having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures
• having such varied interests and abilities

What’s Hard About Being a Seven

• not having enough time to do all the things I want
• not completing things I start
• not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career
• having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies
• feeling confined when I’m in a one-to-one relationship

Sevens as Children Often

• are action oriented and adventuresome
• drum up excitement
• prefer being with other children to being alone
• finesse their way around adults
• dream of the freedom they’ll have when they grow up

Sevens as Parents

• are often enthusiastic and generous
• want their children to be exposed to many adventures in life
• may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive

Self-Preservation Sevens: “Family and Like-Minded Friends” 
Self-preservation Sevens tend to be more family oriented than the other subtypes.-

• I like having a home base where we share values and interests and provide a network of support for each other.
• I often take the role of keeping people entertained and happy.
• Planning for and reminiscing about an adventure is usually at least as thrilling as the adventure itself.
• I prefer my friends to be positive, as I am.
• I like to be spontaneous, but I also plan ahead to make sure I will see my friends and not miss out on anything.
• When I take risks, they are usually measured rather than reckless.
• I spend a lot of time in and around my house.

Relational Sevens: “Excitement”-

• I like challenge and action.
• Sometimes I push things to the edge or step on people’s toes.
• I prefer whatever is unusual, intense, complex, or aesthetically pleasing.
• Sometimes I am seductive without meaning to be and get more entangled than I had intended.
• I pursue fascinating people and adventures.
• When a relationship loses its charge, I may romanticize the person to avoid boredom, or, if I feel trapped, I back away.
• I can become upset over the discrepancy between the ideal relationship and reality.
• It makes me unhappy if my partner doesn’t fully experience excitement and adventure with me.

Social Sevens: “Impatient vs. Idealistic”-

• I can see myself risking my life for a principle or cause I believe in.
• Sometimes I’m slow to act on my good intentions, especially when I would have to give up some freedom.
• I try to stifle my longings for adventure and put responsibilities to my family, career, or a cause first.
• I don’t like the burden of feeling responsible for the people around me.
• I like companionship and brotherhood, but I can’t stand it when anyone tries to control or coerce me.
• I can be impatient. I want to take action right now instead of wasting time bickering about procedures.
• Inequality among people upsets me. I wish there didn’t have to be pecking orders.
• I have a large circle of friends.
• I like to keep up on what is new in the community.

Being here, by Mark Garry, thread pins, beads

Kalau yang satu ini ketika saya SMA, di SMAN 78. Berasa ya tuanya -_

Ohya, kalau bertemu mereka di jalan, insyaallah masih ingat :)

Ini zaman SMP juga loh. Dan lagi-lagi sepertinya jikalau bertemu di jalan saya tidak akan ingat keseluruhan dari mereka. Maaf ya -_-
