According to this...

.... personality test, I am a Type 7: An Enthusiast or The Adventurer


The Type 7 description is as follows:

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

It's interesting, I have taken a gazillion of these tests and this is one of the more accurate ones. There's not much I wouldn't disagree with. Anyhoo, I quite like being the adventurer, although if you read further into the descriptions on the website, I think I'm more grounded than the average Seven. At least I hope I am.

What's your personality type?
