Moena Jackson Composer, Saxophonist, Clarinetist, Vocalist

(Principled, Purposeful, Self-Controlled, and Perfectionistic.)  [more]Ones are defined by their belief that everything must be in order, and by their feeling that they must always be "right." They show great commitment and determination to improve conditions that they find need improvement, and they are forward in encouraging others to improve their performance, too. [collapse]

(Generous, Demonstrative, People-Pleasing, and Possessive.)  [more]Twos want to be liked and find ways that they can be of service to others so that they can belong. They have a strong need to be affiliated with others, and pursue acceptance by being kind, caring, and helpful. They are highly altruistic and empathetic and often have an intuitive sense of what other people need and want. They sometimes give too much of themselves because they are so eager to be connected with others. [collapse]

(Adaptable, Excelling, Driven, and Image-Conscious.)  [more]Threes are defined by their desire to achieve. They want to advance in the world and will sacrifice almost anything for success; vigorously pursuing tasks and becoming utterly absorbed in the pursuit of attainment. But they will only choose a task in the first place if it promises rewards and brings prestige. Threes like to stand out. They have a burning need to be admired and see life as a game where winning is emphasized. [collapse]

(Expressive, Dramatic, Self-Absorbed, and Temperamental.)  [more]Fours are defined by their belief that they are different from other people, and by their feelings of envy for what others have. Fours have the sense that something is missing from their lives, and they worry that they will never have the happiness that other people experience. At their core, Fours passionately long for the type of deep connection that will make them feel whole and accepted. [collapse]

(Perceptive, Innovative, Secretive, and Isolated.)  [more]Fives are driven by a belief that their resources are scarce, and that they don't have enough of what they need. Unlike other types who go out into the world to get what they need, Fives instead aim to need as little as possible. To achieve this, they withdraw from the world, retreating into their minds to conserve their time, energy and other resources. [collapse]

(Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious.)  [more]Sixes are preoccupied with security, seek safety, and like to be prepared for problems. They have active minds which are constantly scanning for danger and creating contingency plans. They are highly attuned to risk and typically have a clear idea of what they will do in any worst-case scenario. They are good at seeing how things will play out, particularly understanding how things could go wrong. [collapse]

(Spontaneous, Versatile, Acquisitive, and Scattered.)  [more]Sevens are defined by their desire to experience everything good and pleasurable that the world has to offer, while avoiding pain, boredom, and limitations. Although Sevens appear enthusiastic and fun-loving, deep down, they have a fear of getting stuck in negative emotions. Thus, they tend to disconnect from their deeper feelings, instead focusing on their imagination and zest for life to keep them moving forward and gathering new, pleasurable experiences. [collapse]

(Self-Confident, Decisive, Willfull, and Confrontational.)  [more]Eights see themselves as strong and powerful and seek to stand up for what they believe in. They rarely see themselves as having vulnerabilities and have the belief that they can handle pretty much anything that comes their way. Eights have easy access to their anger, and as a result, are sometimes seen as intimidating to others. However, Eights typically see themselves as fighters, standing up for what is right and protecting the weak. [collapse]

(Receptive, Reassuring, Complacent, and Resigned.)  [more]Nines are defined by a desire to live in peaceful harmony with their environment. They want a sense of balance and calm, and aspire to a kind of homeostasis where nothing disturbs their inner peace. They tend to be easygoing and accepting of what is happening around them, but can become resistant and willfully oblivious when something in the environment threatens to throw them off balance.
