Type 2’s want support and approval of others while figuring out how to move forward. While they want support from others, they also want to support others grieving to help strengthen their bonds with those people. Type 3’s want to know and set goals quickly. They want to express their emotions but not be overwhelmed by them.Type 4’s want to discover what is “missing” whether within themselves or in the grieving process. They want to fully express and feel their emotions.Type 5’s want clarity before making decisions. They also want to avoid excess emotions (both theirs and others). Type 6’s want certainty in plans and in loyalty. They also want reassurance about the future.Type 7’s want to explore a range of options. They want freedom to do what they want to do and they prefer quick decisions. Type 8’s want some sort of control of either themselves or the situation. They want to get things rolling and to move forward.Type 9’s want to take all points into consideration before doing anything. They also want to avoid conflict and to help reduce others’ discomfort.
