The SEVEN:
The Scholar, The Loner, The Individualist, The Searcher for Truth
Think of
someone who has set out on a journey to answer all of life's big questions,
and you have a picture of the SEVEN. They seek in solitude, reflecting as
they go, absorbed in their task of cracking the mystery of life. SEVENs are
easy to recognize: they are perfectionists, work best on their own, at their
own pace, and without outside interference. They are tough cookies, SEVENs.
They view their mission to find life's answers to be the loftiest of all
goals, and this makes them appear uncooperative; but their know-it-all
attitude is rooted in their belief that they are working for the greater
good. "You won't understand now but trust me, you will thank me later" could
be their motto.
They crave knowledge, and are good at keeping secrets. The seven year itch
in a marriage, the seventh inning stretch: time to take stock and reflect on
the situation. As you might imagine, they are not the easiest people to get
close to in a relationship, and even in casual friendships are not the most
demonstrative. They make great researchers, engineers, scientists or any
jobs that seeks to find the answer to how or why something works or will
work better. The Seventies: the ME generation. Negatives: Can appear
downright cold, and elitist. They may become isolated and lonely. Their
perfectionist attitude inevitably creates disappointment because humans are
never perfect.
The SEVEN finds inner peace by learning cooperation: the answer to the
mystery of life is right their under their nose all along, in the
relationships they need to form with others. (Think of Dorothy in the Wizard
of Oz: a SEVEN who finds inner peace at the end of her journey when she
finally realizes the people around her had the answer she sought.)
