Core Motivation:
feel the high;
Action Goal: seek out where thrill can be had in each moment
Type 7 people live in the here and
now. Living for the present, they
pursue experiences that yield a high concentration of thrilling or intensely
satisfying moments. Fun is a top a
priority for them. Type 7 people
generally choose professions that promise high profile excitement. Advertising and media, acting, extreme
athletics, etc. are industries that attract a high percentage of 7 types. Being successfully spontaneous comes
naturally to them. Your type 7
friend is the one to invite to a good-time outing. Type 7 people are generally well meaning, although
reliability and honesty are not intrinsically important to them. The truth of the moment is their focus,
and they are comfortable saying or promising whatever feels genuine at the
time.
If you are wondering if someone you
know is a type 7, it may help to ask the following questions:
1. Do they
prioritize having a good time?2. Do they favor spontaneity over long-term planning?
3. Are they generally fun to be around?
4. Do they generally minimize the importance of follow-through?
5. Do they generally have a ‘live and let live’ attitude?
All of these statements would be true
for most 7 types. As always, wings
influence the core type, so there may be minor exceptions. On a personal level, I think 7
types could be compatible with 2 types, 3 types, and 7 types. If you have a personal or professional
relationship with a type 7 individual, it is important to align your
expectations with recognition of type 7 natural tendencies. Emphasizing opportunities for
in-the-moment gratification is likely one of the more effective ways to engage
a type 7 person in any kind of joint venture.
