Which am I?
Type 3 or Type 7?
The Striver vs the Adventurer
Threes and Sevens are both upbeat, energetic and always on the go, so they're easy to confuse. Both like to stay positive and keep moving. But Threes are driven by goals and how they're seen, while Sevens are driven by fun, freedom and new experiences.
How they're alike
- Full of energy, with lots on the go
- Positive, and good at lifting other people's spirits
- Tend to skip past painful feelings
