The two traits behind this type

Planning style
Plan ahead
Novelty preference
Drawn to the new

You're drawn to things you haven't tried, and because you're drawn to them, you start by making a plan to do them properly.

When you travel, you pick a city you've never been to, and you plan out in advance where to go there and in what order.

You're someone who actually does new things. But because you plan so carefully, once you're there you're so busy following the plan, 'Next is this place,' that there's less room left to enjoy what's new.

What you're good at

You turn new ideas into action. You have both curiosity about unfamiliar things and the drive to turn them into concrete plans, so what you start doesn't stop at being an idea.

What you often hear

  • “You even plan the new stuff, huh?”
  • “It's okay if it doesn't go to plan.”

What wears you out

What throws you is a chance to try something new with no time to prepare. If you have to start something you're drawn to without knowing anything about it, the worry 'What if I mess this up?' gets there before the excitement does.

For the people around you

You're the one who finds new experiences for the two of you and gets them ready. But when everything is already planned out, the other person may feel, 'There's nothing left for me to choose.'

Worth trying

Put half a day with nothing planned into your next plan. Experiences you prepared for and experiences that happen by chance are different, and the ones you remember for a long time are usually the ones that happened by chance.

With other types

Easy doesn't mean better. People stay together with someone they clash with far more often than you'd think, and easy relationships often turn dull.
