Type Seven - The Enthusiast

The busy, productive type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.

Kennedy, Benjamin Franklin, Leonard Bernstein, Leonardo DiCpario, Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Taylor, Mozart, Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams, Jim Carey, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Bette Midler, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Regis Philbin, Howard Stern, Jack Nicholson, Goldie Hawn, and Scarlet O'Hara (Gone With The Wind).
