"So to summarize and elaborate, people with no arrows tend to be flexible, adaptable people. They do not have specific traits, either positive or negative, that could cause an imbalance." That was the key. "So I would argue that having no positive arrows could actually be a good thing. Learning to master yourself is all about finding balance, after all." In all realms of life, not just personality. "Those with arrows have a predisposition to struggle with keeping that part of themselves in check, whether because of character flaws, life circumstances, or something else."
The professor glanced at her watch. "Ah, time is making fools of us! We have just enough time to mention negative arrows, which are not necessarily bad traits." Her own numeric profile could not help her here, unfortunately. "Negative arrows are formed by making three in a row of your UNhighlighted squares. I do not have any, but your text has all the possible examples."
So they barely had time for the final thing she wanted to get to, but they could make it work. "To finish up, I would like you to find the negative and positive arrows of our most astute Headmaster Botros. His birthdate is the 14th of August in 2003." Wow, it just hit her that he was born only a few years after Lord Voldemort had finally been defeated. "Give it a go!"
More books. Rooney nodded. "I'll take a look later, thanks Professor!" He was always a fan of reading up on things, even if he understood them. Different points of views made different things click in your mind and he was also a fan of that. The clicking and the view points. Just anything, really. Truly. He fell back into listening carefully, checking his textbook and notes alongside things being said and that he had already written down.

Positive Arrows
Arrow of Emotions (positive 2, 5, 8)
Textbook definition - These people usually make good performers, and can often be quite intense and serious. Some are emotional drama queens. They often like to give advice to others even when their own life is secretly a mess. By becoming aware of their emotions, they gain control over them rather than have their emotions control their life. Once they do this they show great depth of understanding and are emotionally balanced.
Professor Botros
Date of birth: August 14th, 2003
Numbers (birth order): 8 1 4 2 3

Positive Arrows
Arrow of Planning (positive 1, 2 3)
Textbook definition - These people have good planning and organisational skills. They are able to make plans, recognise their goals and work out the best way to achieve them. However, they need to leave room for spontaneity and fun as they tend to over-plan. They will often have copious notes with everything written down, and a well planned diary. They often skip the details in order to see the bigger picture.
Negative Arrows
Nil.
Now that he had finally looked at the negative arrows, he quickly checked over if he had any himself... A 3, a 6 and a 9... Oh... Arrow of poor memory?! POOR MEMORY?! Did this thing know that he could recite in alphabetical order the past and present stage crew at his theatre school? That was not poor memory, because he had been with that theatre school since his 3rd birthday.
He was outright offended. And maybe a little bit teary. Not enough to call it crying, but enough to push firmly on his eyes with the sleeve of his robe and wiped the leakage away. He wished he had no negative arrows like Professor Botros. At least then no one would say he had poor memory.
Because he didn't.
His memory was in perfect condition. And a tendency to forget and be mentally dull?
Mentally dull?
Where had he gone wrong in his twelve years of life. "Professor, the textbook says I'm mentally dull. I don't think I'm mentally dull. Am I mentally dull?" And no. He was not crying.
But he WAS mentally dull.
APPARENTLY.
