Angie Dickinson
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Angie's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Angie Dickinson comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Angie Dickinson - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Angie Dickinson" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Angie a little better. This page describes the disguise Dickinson wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Angie Dickinson meets life head on and throws herself into new experiences with zest and enthusiasm. She is direct, straightforward, assertive, and usually completely aboveboard in all her dealings. Candid and incapable of guile, insincerity or phoniness, Angie projects a confident and sometimes arrogant façade to others. She often lacks tact and sensitivity, and can be completely oblivious to others' needs, and inadvertently selfish. Dickinson is self-reliant and does not depend upon social approval and reinforcement as much as other people do. She likes to be original and does not mind doing it alone. Angie Dickinson may feel that she does not fit into groups very well and that she does not naturally blend in and cooperate with others. She likes to be either a leader or a loner.

Dickinson is a doer and thrives on freedom, challenge, and activity. She tends to think in clear, black and white terms, and to be somewhat simplistic in her outlook, which enables Angie to act in a very decisive and self-assured manner. When inspired by an idea, Angie Dickinson feels such a sense of urgency and excitement about it that she will often forge ahead and try to implement it in a rather bold but poorly planned and crudely executed way. Patience and careful attention to details are not Dickinson's forte. However, she never accepts defeat and will experience brilliant and unprecedented successes and discoveries, as well as painful failures. To Angie Dickinson it is far better to make mistakes than to play it safe and never try.

She is scornful of what she sees as weakness or passivity in others and also of the human tendency to imitate and follow. Angie Dickinson is not a follower. Others see Angie as a strong individual and perhaps brash and brazen as well. Dickinson presents a strong front to the world and generally does not allow others to see her vulnerable or insecure side.

Dickinson draws much of her energy and sense of self from her relationships with others. She is inextricably connected with the significant others in her life; Angie Dickinson may feel at a loss without them, even if she appears to be the powerful or dominant person in the relationship. Angie appears self-assured - as long as she is secure in the important relationships in her life.

Angie often comes across to others more abruptly or even antagonistically than necessary to achieve her aims. And naturally, if people perceive that she is trying to compete with them or run them over, some of them will strongly resist Angie Dickinson and her objectives. Dickinson might be more successful if she tones herself down a bit and shows some consideration, without completely sacrificing her own needs and wants.

There is a receptive, elusive quality to Angie's personality. Dickinson can be difficult to pin down, difficult to know, something of a mystery. At times Angie Dickinson may feel frustrated because she feels that she is not being perceived very clearly, that she does not make a powerful impression, that she is easily overlooked or discounted. If she does not wish to be "invisible", Dickinson must make some effort to define and clarify - both for herself and for the rest of the world - who Angie Dickinson is. On the other hand, Angie Dickinson may purposely create illusions about herself with the intent to deceive - or entertain - others.

She may find it difficult to get ahead because Angie lacks the vitality to do so. Angie Dickinson tends to wait for better conditions and has the desire to accomplish a lot without straining herself too much. Quite often, though, her plans just seem to hang in the air.
