My personality as an SP personality has a flip side, the risk-taking side of me has landed my friends and I in trouble more times than I can count. An example of such a situation is a few years ago when a couple of friends of mine and I decided to take a road trip. I was the designated driver. I had already purchased a map to show the route I would follow. The first part of the journey was smooth and fun all through.
