Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Charisma Carpenter" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Charisma a little better. This page describes the disguise Carpenter wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

She is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if she strongly disagrees with someone, Charisma Carpenter will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. She often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Charisma has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Charisma Carpenter very much wants to be liked and because of her need for approval and acceptance, Carpenter is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. She so much wants to please that often Charisma Carpenter will suppress her own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Carpenter's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.

Her need to create harmony extends to her physical environment and personal appearance as well. Charisma Carpenter appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. She does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From her home furnishings to her choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.

She also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Carpenter is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Charisma possesses tact and acute awareness of other people.

She possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner.
