Do all SP's crave adventure?

I know ISTP's love adventure. I wonder if its the combination of a sensor's inability to see the future, mixed with a perciever's craving for more and more information. What do you think?

No, they crave attention.

I dunno about that. Isn't that an extrovert thing?

DJ, good question re: adventure. I think it's fairly obvious for ISTPs and ESTPs, but it would be interesting to know about the ISFPs and ESFPs. Aren't they more artistic than adventurous?

IDK, I'm an E and I hate attention.

And yet you come into other groups forums and make intentionally provocative, almost to the point of insulting posts.

That looks to me like the actions of somebody that can't stand not being the center of attention.

Just saying...

I am not sure. I do know my favorite jobs have involved a decently high mix of risk, and technical ability.

I think you have it spot on.

Not really, I don't think so. I'm not adventurous person, i'm rather scared to do anything that is out of control.

Except that most high risk activities require large degrees of contingency planning.

It could actually as easily be because becoming involved in high risk activities forces them to imagine future events and plan for them.

Hmm, well when I say adventure, I'm talking exploration too, of any medium: books, video games, movies, wilderness, physical stuff, board games, dungeons and dragons etc.
