Sevens know how to have fun; they can usually be found doing something spontaneous, exciting, or interesting, while simultaneously planning what their next exciting event will be. They are usually exuberant and optimistic. Although this optimism is a gift, it typically doubles as a tool to move continuously forward, avoiding pain and sadness, ignoring the darker things in life. In their avoidance of feelings, they sometimes cause hurt by side-stepping, ignoring, or being oblivious to the feelings of others.
