Time is something that occurs to a 7 in between activities. I'm not sure why this keeps getting deleted. Could it be that Mikko is an asshole?

> How true is this for you?
> E1 - dominatd by time. Feel resentful that there is not enought time to get things done. They keep wanting to go back to go over things.
> E2 - time as opportunity for personal encounters. Dislike time spent on the impersonal. Like to enter focus around the time of a significant other.
> E3 - time as a means to something, to get somewhere, accomplish something. Time is something to be used productively. Experience time as limited. Often take on too much for the time available and end up running a bit late. Time constraints are secondary to getting the job done.
> E4 - subjective sense of time. When emotionally involved time runs faster. Lose track of clock time, but may be early for an appointment they feel is important to them. Also willing to spend large amounts of their time on others. Find it hard to live in the present moment. Experience the past as unfinished, and see its events in terms of emotional significance rather than chronologically.
> E5 - observe time passing in the form of small separate events. They don't like any one thing to drag on too long or they start to feel uncomfortable. They can get a lot done in a short space of time, but feel they could have done it better given more time. Miserly with their time. Regret the lack of time for learning everything.
> E6 - Time is boss; they have to submit to it's authority. Time threatens to dissapear before they can get done, so they tend to work fast. Time judges their faithfulness to duty and is a measure of their responsibility to others. They tend to be punctual and achieve deadlines.
> E7 - Time is always expandable. They're inclined to add one thing after another to their agenda so are often late. Their enjoyment tends to be future-orientated; anticipatory. Tend to be content with the idea and have trouble getting down to the details.
> E8 - Control time. Punctual so as not to feel hassled by time. Time is flat to them, but marked out with their goals. Concerned to keep moving at a steady pace. Impatient.
> E9 - Each moment has the same duration and each event the same importance. Need schedules and are easily upset by changes to schedules. Punctuality isn't as important to them as just keeping going. Nine's who have not overcome their lethargy, will procrastinate and forget the limitations of time, considering it infinitely expandable.
