Casper Van Dien
drive and ambition

Casper Van Dien seesaws between being too pushy, confrontational and insistent on doing things his way, and being too eager to please, without a clear, definite goal of his own. Casper Van Dien strives for a balance between acting independently and assertively - and working cooperatively and interdependently with others. He may feel frustrated at times that he cannot simply do what HE wants and that he must always accommodate the needs and desires of others. Or he may feel hesitant to act in a positive, assertive manner if he does not have the support and approval of other people. Either way, he is not a loner. Casper Van Dien achieves his goals by collaborating and joining forces with others, by being a team player. He is very concerned with the concept of fairness and becomes quite indignant and vocal if he senses someone is being taken advantage of.

On the positive side, Casper Van Dien is capable of immense patience, endurance and tireless effort in order to attain his goals and desires. Casper Van Dien seems to have to work very hard, and without much outside help. However, if he can avoid a negative attitude and keep "plugging along", Van Dien will achieve something substantial.
