The Clown

I use humor to deflect trauma.

You are the life of the party, but your jokes are cries for help. You cannot have a serious conversation without turning it into a bit. You make everyone laugh so they don't look too closely at how sad you are.

Love Style

In love, JOKE-R is used to using jokes to mask their true feelings. They are afraid that if they show their serious, vulnerable side, the other person will find them boring and leave. So even when arguing, they might use a joke to brush it off. If you fall in love with a JOKE-R, please, in the dead of night, look past the smile on their mask and embrace that scarred soul.

Career Style

The pistachio in the workplace, but also the person whose inner needs are most easily overlooked. They are very suitable for creative, marketing, and comedy writing jobs. But in crucial promotions or serious business negotiations, they might lose trust points because of their usually overly cynical image. They need to learn to put away their smiles and show their strength when necessary.
