They seek variety and constant experience, whether it's going to a concert, talking on the phone with friends, hanging out in a bar, or leafing through magazines and daydreaming about a vacation. As their restlessness increases, they begin to fear missing out on other pleasures and experiences. They begin to lose a sense of priorities and become hyperactive, throwing themselves into constant activity and into endless busyness. They easily feel trapped or deprived, and this makes it difficult to say "no" to themselves or to deny themselves anything. Their enthusiasm and versatility can make them productive and practical, highly creative and prolific, cross-fertilizing their many areas of interest and skills.
