Explanation / Answer

1) My First choice would be to go to the corner where the "Social" people are gathered. Reason being that the Social People group is full of peaople who like helping people they are most likely to show intrest in other people who go to their corner, and there is a high chance of their conversation being of a common nature that can be understood and joined by anyone unlike conventional poeple. And another reason is that they like informing, training, developing other people. And they are good with words.

2) My second choice after the first one decides to leave would be to go to the corner where the "Artistic" people are gathered. Reason being that it is the second most 'easy to blend in with' group. The conversation in this group might be a little hard to get but not impossible, all a person has to do is listne carefully and swtich his artistc side on. Artistic people are innovative by nature and that brings a nice and diffrent quality in the conversation. And another reason is that they like to work in unstructured situations that's why they are more accepting to new people and situations.

3) My third choice after the second group decides to leave the patry would be the group "Enterprising". Reason being that they are the people who work with people and their influencing nature would make the conversation a little intresting. heir conversation might give the outside some knowledge of other sector that would be hard to collect without their experties.
