Type Sevens are known as the enthusiast. They are usually lively and cheerful people, who have a need to avoid pain, and find enjoyment in life. They belong to the thinking triad, though they have under expressed thinking.

Unlike the Fives who think too much, Sevens would rather do than think. They also belong to the assertive energy group, and are outgoing and aggressive in satisfying their appetites for fulfilment in life.

Sevens see themselves as interesting and fun loving, and they want others to view them as spontaneous and outgoing people. Often the life of the party, Sevens love variety in experiences. They do not like to dwell on unhappy memories and prefer to move on to the next activity, believing that keeping themselves occupied with exciting stuff will allow the pain to go away. As a result, some people might find that Sevens have an escapist mentality. Although for Sevens, they look at it as a choice to seek happiness instead.

They are usually good story tellers and love to bring joy to people. And because they can’t stand tension, you’ll likely see a Seven crack some funny one liner or jokes when faced with a tense situation. At a party, you can also expect the Seven to spice up the atmosphere if they find that everyone else is not pumped up.
