Negative Entertainers are excessively emotional and overly dramatic. They must have constant attention and will do almost anything to get it. They can go from overly charming to whining, loud, demanding, and boisterous. To be around a negative Entertainer can be completely exhausting, because they never stop talking, they are scattered, and somewhat hyperactive. Their need for constant attention, preferably from the opposite sex, may cause them to behave in sexually inappropriate ways, flirting and acting seductive at times when such behaviors are out of place. Their emotions, though highly visible and quite dramatic, are generally shallow and superficial. They tend to be very self-centered and everything has a “me” component to it. They are too general in their communication for most people to be able to follow their line of thought, and too willing to sacrifice verbal content for what they consider color and pizazz. They are completely unpredictable, jumping from interest to interest and from project to project, completing little to nothing of what they start. They see interactions as opportunities for attention. They control through overpowering others conversationally, through insults, through inducing guilt, or by just wearing people down.
