Section 1: The inner you, your real motivation

You are, in many ways, an eternal child. Your mind is
bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for
new experiences. All of which means your attention span is often quite brief.
You grasp ideas quickly, but once your initial curiosity has been
satisfied, you want to go on to something else. You crave
frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people.

It may be hard for you to decide just where your talents and
true vocation lie, for you have a multitude of interests and are
loathe to limit yourself by concentrating on just one. You are
easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities the world has to offer.
Your curiosity and restlessness propel you into many different
experiences in life, so you’re always willing to try
anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it
is something you do well, is real drudgery for you.

You live in your head a great deal - reading, observing,
thinking, spinning ideas around - and you need mental
stimulation every bit as much as you need food and drink. In
fact, if you had to choose between a good book or movie and a
good lunch, you would very likely choose the former. You have a
creative mind and often live by your wits.

You are also a very social creature, with a strong need to
communicate and to interact with people. You enjoy using and
playing with words and have a real flair for getting your ideas
across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing or
speaking are areas you have talent for.

You also have a rather light and mischievous sense of humour,
and rarely take life too seriously. Though you crave
emotional involvement, it is hard for you to achieve it, for you
are frequently unwilling to commit yourself to anything, to take
responsibility, or to limit your personal freedom and mobility.

Your happiness lies in using your creativity and your
language skills to communicate something meaningful, to teach,
inspire, or bring people together. You have an unbiased mind and
can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Your
faults are a lack of constancy and persistence, and a
tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other
people’s feelings.

The unusual and unorthodox appeal to you. You don’t
allow tradition, convention or other people’s expectations to
dictate how you are going to live your life. You crave freedom,
adventure, excitement, and discovery, and are not afraid of
change. You possess inventive and creative genius.

You tend to think and act bravely and have a positive and
firm demeanour. You have what it takes to make your own way in
life. You may be a bit excitable, but you’ll never shy away from a good
argument.

You alternate between aggression and apathy and sometimes
feel that you are unable to meet all the demands made on you.
Once you become aware of what you need to do, however, you are
capable of working long and hard, not giving up until your work
is done.

Section 2: Mental interests and abilities

Your mind operates in a very deliberate and methodical
manner and you dislike being rushed or forced to give an opinion
before you have thoroughly ruminated and digested an idea. You
are also difficult to influence once your mind is made up.

Though slower to grasp new concepts or learn new skills, you
are patient and persevering and, in fact, often become quite
adept at whatever you put your mind and hand to, for you are
willing to devote much time and attention to it. You succeed not
so much because of your mental brilliance, but because you have
the ability to concentrate and follow a project through to its
completion. You have an aptitude for singing or drawing.

Your mind is serious and deep. You have excellent powers of concentration and enjoy studying or thinking deeply in solitude. You have an aptitude
for research or doing mental work that requires precise,
organised thinking, attention to detail and a methodical
approach. You are conservative, something of a skeptic, and
may be narrow-minded and closed to new ideas, especially if
there is no concrete proof or scientific verification of them.
Socially, you are rather reserved, uncommunicative, and
uncomfortable with light, frivolous conversation.

You have good powers of perception and visualisation and an
intense imagination. Greatly inspired, you feel optimistic and
hopeful for the future. You are likely to talk a lot about your
plans and are inclined to put on an act at times.
