Season Quiz
Summer
You grow what's been started all the way to full leaf, and see it through to the end with everyone.
Summer has the longest days of the year, when plants grow tall and thick with leaves. The buds that came out in spring become almost unrecognizably large over the summer. You, too, grow what's been started all the way without stopping halfway, and spread it outward.
Even when it wasn't your idea, once you join something that's under way, you don't let go until the end. At a summer festival, you're the one who helps put up the stage, gets everyone going on the day, and is still there for the cleanup afterward. Whatever you decided to do by the end of the summer holidays, you get it done. Seeing something through to the close is where you belong.
Summer plants grow so vigorously that the gardening can't always keep up. In your case, too, your strong urge to expand means that what you're carrying can quietly get very big. Choosing which branches to grow is one of summer's important jobs as well.
Strengths
- You can push what's been started until it takes visible shape
- Where people gather, you can lift the whole group and keep going to the end
- You can see something a big group started through to its last day and wrap it up
Where you may stumble
- You take on too many requests and can't keep up
- When it's time to come up with the first idea, you tend to hang back: “Let's get something going first”
- Right after finishing one thing, you take on the next, with no time to catch your breath
Sounds familiar, Summer?
- At the end of a get-together, you're the one who says, “Let's get one last photo of everyone!”
- Something you weren't keen on at first, you've somehow become the most enthusiastic about
- After an event, you're still there until the lights go off
Where you shine
Growing a plan that's already moving into something big, and seeing an event through to the end with lots of people. Just as summer sun pushes plants to their full height, these are the moments when you can take something to its fullest form.
Tips for “Summer”
- Before you say yes, write down everything you're carrying and count it
- Before you expand, decide how far you need to go to call it done
- When you've seen one thing through, leave a day free before taking on the next

Spring — Spring is good at starting things. Summer takes the buds Spring puts out and grows them to their biggest form. Your roles follow on from each other, so you can move forward together without strain.
Autumn — Autumn also loves finishing. Autumn looks back alone on what Summer saw through with a crowd, and tidies up every last detail. What's left in your hands is a finish that Summer's energy alone wouldn't have produced.
Winter — Winter likes to start what it has in mind quietly and alone. Summer's “Let's do it with everyone — and bigger!” can feel to Winter like dragging something it has only just quietly begun out into the open.
