General Personality Characteristics

Serious, disciplined, and quietly ambitious, I am driven to prove myself and to achieve material accomplishments and success. My work, my position in the world, and my contributions to society are very important to me. I will persevere through enormous hardship and frustration in order to reach a goal I have set for yourself, and I often sacrifice much in the area of personal relationships and home life in order to do so.

I have a thoughtful, quiet, and self-contained disposition and do not readily show my inner feelings and needs. I seem to be always in control, capable, efficient, and strong. I am often the person in the family or group who is given more responsibility (and more work) than the others. I am highly conscientious and even as a child I possessed a maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom that was most unchildlike.

I am basically a pragmatic realist, and though I may have all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, I feel that the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness. I have an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a bit of the cynic in me as well.

I am clear-headed, detached and objective, and are not swayed by emotional dramatics. Often I am authoritarian -strictly fair, but without mercy. I have a great respect for tradition and even if I do not agree with certain laws, I will abide by them or work to change them, but never flagrantly disregard them. Careful and conservative, I play by the rules.

I am subtle, understated, quiet, deep, not easy to know intimately, and never superficial. I am a modest person and sometimes overly self-critical. Giving myself (and others) permission to feel, to play, to be spontaneous and silly, and to be weak and vulnerable sometimes, isn't easy for me.

My strong points are my depth and thoroughness, patience, tenacity, and faithfulness. My faults are a tendency to be rigid and inflexible, and too serious.

Mental Interests and Abilities

Clear, objective, and realistic, I am unimpressed by exaggerated claims or promises. I am insist upon being shown facts to back up any statement I hear, and my natural skepticism often borders on cynicism. I approach problems clearly and rationally and maintain my poise and objectivity even in the midst of critical situations. Anyone seeking my advice is certain to get an unemotional and unbiased assessment of their situation, and I therefore make a good arbitrator or judge. I am thorough, conscientious, and disciplined in my thinking, and have an aptitude for business, organization, and administration. I am also a good strategist, and will plan and patiently follow a realistic course which will lead to my eventual success. Serious-minded and studious, I enjoy quiet time alone for thinking or reading.
