My definition of a 7: a merry-making type who can't get enough of a good thing. I am fascinated by the almost-superhuman proportions of their appetites for experience. They live to cheer. They sometimes wish their stomachs were bottomless, so that they could eat all day. They sometimes wish they did not require sleep, so that they could party all night. Everybody is excitable, but 7's seem to be the *most* excitable of the personality types. They will often unabashedly call themselves "hedonists." They feel their best when they have no obligations put on them. They say things like "it's an *experience*!" Remember that *all* people do this... only 7's have the *most* insatiable appetites... they can get lost for hours in intellectual pleasures. Sometimes a bit of "quantity over quality," but they enjoy the finer things in life... in excess, of course... wit is of paramount importance... they often have an intellectual look about them, though they usually have more social bravado and greater appetites for pleasure than, say, a 1 or a 5. A very interesting type, the 7...
By the way, don't try arguing with Anthony. ;>
