Carly Pope
drive and ambition

Carly Pope seesaws between being too pushy, confrontational and insistent on doing things her way, and being too eager to please, without a clear, definite goal of her own. Carly Pope strives for a balance between acting independently and assertively - and working cooperatively and interdependently with others. She may feel frustrated at times that she cannot simply do what HE wants and that she must always accommodate the needs and desires of others. Or she may feel hesitant to act in a positive, assertive manner if she does not have the support and approval of other people. Either way, she is not a loner.

In meeting her challenges and difficulties in life, Carly Pope does have allies: her ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, her ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort.

In some ways Carly Pope may feels that she has little choice about her role in society. She is compelled either by unusual outer circumstances or by an inner drive, to bring things which may be dark, difficult, or taboo, into public awareness. Carly delves into the hidden side of life, things which may have been purposefully concealed or repressed, and brings these things to light. Carly Pope could come into direct conflict with the authorities or powers-that-be as a result. She is apt to have extraordinary ambitions, and could also become overly zealous and fanatical.

Her professional goals and long-range ambitions may be vague and difficult for Carly Pope to define for quite a long time.
