Description

Funlovers are full of energy and liveliness but they struggle to channel that energy into productive spaces. Instead, they desire a life of spontaneity, excitement, and adventure. Though not necessarily irresponsible, they're willing to consciously drop their responsibilities for a good time.

They’re usually pleasant people who are easy to get along with and are likely to be drawn to lively social settings.

Related Traits

Although like those In-the-fast-lane, Funlovers seek stimulation and excitement, they're more likely to ignore daily tasks in their pursuit of this excitement. They're so focused on thrills and excitement over and above all else that they may end up sacrificing their practical and professional life in this quest for fun. Those In-the-fast-lane are marked by low impulse control, while Funlovers are simply less Conscientious.

Pattern Components

In love, the Funlover seeks a flexible, dynamic, and exciting relationship. Repeated evenings on the couch are not likely to satisfy them. Their high energy and accelerated approach to life require an equally engaged partner who will challenge them and keep them on their toes. They love to be around their partners, both solo and in group settings. The ability to integrate their significant other with their wider circle is important to them, particularly if they score low on romantic independence.

Strengths

High scorers are best suited to careers in social-forward, fast-paced environments, as they thrive on high stakes work and seeing quick results. Generally, they like to move and think on their feet, and are not likely to perform well when asked to slow down or take a passive position. They are gregarious in nature, and so do well in areas of collaboration and negotiation.

Weaknesses

With this constant drive for action, Funlovers may not have the ability to slow down and assess problems from multiple angles before pursuing a solution.

Additionally, work is not a primary driving force for these people in life, and they are more likely than others to overlook their responsibilities at work in favor of a good time.
