MALE IN HIS EARLY 30's - cont'd

Secretive. Though you have a penetrating mind, it is difficult for others to penetrate your surface and really get to know you. Let's discuss this. You do express your ideas with ease, no doubt about it, you have a skill in handling words. But when you talk your conversation will be guarded. In other words, you may refuse to express yourself, evade an issue or "talk around" it, but you protect your secrets without resorting to outright lies or misrepresentatations. While this means on one hand you limit intimacy with some people, it also means you can keep a confidence. It also explains in part why you enjoy privacy rather than big crowds.

Supervisory abilities. You have some business and cultural aptitude which are strengthened by your ability to be diplomatic and intuitive. Your intelligence, good manners, self-respect, and culture also contribute in these areas. Of these various aptitudes, what sticks out is your supervisory ability. You also cling to your ideas and plans, which can be good or bad depending upon the situation. Indeed, your success is more in terms of stick-to-it-tiveness than superior planning.

Goal motivated pioneering spirit of continual motion! You're energetic, practical, and productive, a real self-starter and a self-disciplined person. Your activity is meaningful. Others may see you as slightly arrogant, independent, stubborn, impulsive, and blind to the pitfalls of your projects. It's surprising that you have developed so few fear and defense traits. Also you react quickly to life, and often people who do this in turn develop fear and defense traits to counter balance and control their quick reactions, but you remain quick and bold. As just said, many people, who are so quick and bold in life (which happens to be a great trait in emergencies) get burned at some point, and begin to develop fear traits. You have developed some responses though. Your tendency is to protect your interests and to be calculating. Sometimes you are very responsive to people, while at other times you're reserved. Your changing responses are both an emotional strain to you, and to those who not knowing you well do not know how to take you. One can describe this either as a "flexible response to life" or as "being often emotionally off balance."
Literary talent. You read. You have cultural awareness. You appreciate art, beauty, and literature (music too), and don't restrict yourself to tradition or social mores, but seek out the universal order and nature of things. Your motive is to reach the more profound truths that exist beyond the comprehension of society's group living. This leaves you in touch with the cosmos, but rather detached at the moment from your immediate surroundings.

Independent. In some ways, you are independent. You desire to proceed with the minimum of interruptions. (This goes along with your enjoyment of nature.) You disdain shallowness and superficial attitudes. Gossip and small talk bore you; therefore your friends are select and few. You're creative and "bizarre" to those who can't understand you. Few people do understand you.

A broad-minded sympathetic compassionate man. Your kindly responses to the feelings of others, often enables you to effect rapport with them. You possess that interpretive touch which gives life, color, and meaning to your work.

Great thinking abilities. Your great analytical and exploratory thinking is enhanced by your intuitiveness. Your thinking is practical, keen, and sharp. You like solutions, and to have them quickly. Your decisions are reached by intuition. You have the ability to adjust quickly to fast changing situations. You're idealistic to some extent. Your ideas are very personal and sometimes greatly inventive. You could be a designer. You could work under your own supervision. You cut through a mass of materials, digest it and sort it out mentally and use it effectively. You surprise yourself at times by your almost magical insight into situations or other people's thoughts.

While you appear confident to others, you are not quite as confident as you appear. You lack faith in your abilities. You are afraid to stretch yourself and are selling yourself short. In spite of all your activity and abilities, you're still selling yourself short. In general you are optimistic. And at time you have high goals. Your will power is moderate. That is, you are self-directive and you have the ability to direct your efforts towards what needs to be done. You are a hard worker, as you think the job must be completed as soon as possible. On long projects (such as management) break down your tasks into small increments and you'll do fine. Your working habits are somewhat unstable; your other assets will carry you through.

The demands you make on yourself are great. You tax yourself both physically and mentally.

I've really enjoyed doing this analysis for you. Best wishes on your success, Fritz Springmeier, Certified Graphoanalyst
