Personality Types

Many professional comedians are Sevens; the source of much of their comedy is the insecurity and anxiety which underlies their feelings about life.

Now, in a fit of hysterical passion or a moment of temporary insanity, they may well kill or severely injure the very persons they turn to. Even if they are not homicidal, deteriorated Sevens may become violently abusive to their children or spouses. If they succeed in killing or injuring others, their manic defense may finally give way to severe depression, with suicide the ultimate result

Their mood may swing from belligerent hostility to tearful remorse to a feeling of elation, all in the space of a few minutes

Sevens wreak havoc in the environment and their relationships because they are completely out of control and extremely unstable, both in their behavior and in their moods. They are as erratic as the path of a tornado, and just as unpredictable

Once an activity requires concentration or effort, average Sevens get bored and move on to something new

they never become accomplished at anything because they do not stay with it long enough

There is nothing subtle about average Sevens: they let others know precisely what is on their minds, even at the risk of shocking other people’s sensibilities. While they may offend some, others find their brashness and outrageousness refreshing

The danger for all average Sevens is that as their appetites grow, they become less discriminating about their experiences, and become mere consumers rather than connoisseurs. Their appetites always increase faster than they can be satisfied

Those Sevens who have less money may acquire less, but they are not necessarily any less acquisitive

Thus, shopping, looking at catalogues, and fantasizing about a new car or fur coat or stereo system is often more satisfying than actually having the item
