> Yes, I have looked at five and scored high on both five and seven. So, maybe I am a five?
> Also, since I somehow managed to get something good out of the situation afterall, now what am I? (not a quitter, we know that), but can't different types behave similar under stress at times? Or is that not it?
> Maybe I am a five.
> Or maybe not.

> But what I wrote about leaving people for relief, to get some breathing room, does that make me a five? Also, that's not really true, now that I feel better, I WANT to be around people.
> It seems that my wanting to connect and share with others relates to my moods, whether things are going good or not. When they are goo, I want to be with others, when they are not, I don't.

> This would make me a 7, since a 5 would move opposite (of me) towards others under stress to point 7, insteaed of away like me, right?

> So, does this mean:
> When under stress: I move away, take flight (towards whatever's imagined to be better elsewhere)
> When under happiness: I move towards (accept the present)

> This would mean I am acting like a healthy 7 moving towards a 5, not in flight. (Or does it?)
