  • Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
  • Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.

  • 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 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

    Two days ago, I bought music on-line for the first time ever. It was Holy Fuck's eponymous album. I got it off maplemusic.com. Sure beats having to trek out into the big bad world.
