Hyper people are easily picked out of a group. As children, they are the ones who are running and jumping, knocking kids over, and breaking knickknacks; sometimes they have explosive tempers. As adults, they can create lives that allow for a high level of activity and motion that satisfies them. They are not the kind of friend or partner who can easily share emotions. Careers that allow for activity, change, and motion (outdoor recreation, construction) work better than still, intellectual pursuits.
