Gene Tierney
motivation

Although Gene Tierney expresses herself in a lighthearted, friendly and open manner (as mentioned in the previous chapter), at heart she is much more emotionally complex and intense than she appears. Gene harbors deeper feelings and a much "darker" side than is immediately apparent. She may be torn at times between keeping things light and playful versus exploring her own emotional depths and those of others. However, Tierney's light airy side and her deep, mysterious side can balance one another: she can verbalize, reflect upon and consciously understand, explain and elucidate her deepest feelings. Gene Tierney is a natural researcher and she probably loves mystery stories. Her sense of humor can be her saving grace when she gets too serious.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, she is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Gene Tierney is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and she only allows a special few into her inner world. Like a wary animal, she is cautious and mistrustful of those she does not know until "he sniffs them out". She is highly instinctive and intuitive. Gene Tierney usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though she may be unable to clearly articulate why she feels the way she does. Her feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Gene Tierney also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and she forms very intense love bonds and attachments. She is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that she perceives as a threat to her relationship with someone she loves. When Gene Tierney commits herself to someone or something, she is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Gene merges with or "marries" the person she loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for her, and often stormy and nasty. When Tierney has been wounded, she is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Gene will most certainly never forget the hurt and she often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to her.

Whatever she does, Gene does with passion and fervor, and she often goes to extremes. Tierney can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Tierney can also be very narrow-minded: either she is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for her at all. Rarely is Gene Tierney emotionally detached and objective. She definitely has a fanatical streak. She is also immensely strong-willed and her tenacity in pursuing her objectives often borders on obsession. She is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Gene Tierney loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Gene never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Gene Tierney tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

Her energies are directed toward either honing her professional techniques, skills and abilities or "perfecting", refining, and improving herself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process. Gene Tierney is highly motivated to strive for a state of wholeness or optimal functioning and she is quite a perfectionist!

Tierney can easily become overly identified or involved with the task she performs, with her work, or with her own health and "growth process".

Tierney can be an inspiring leader of a team or group effort. Her dynamism and energy evokes the same in others, and she sees healthy competition between people as a plus. Generally, Gene Tierney enjoys fine health as well.

Impulsive, restless and spontaneous, her life is apt to be somewhat unstable and full of sudden changes. Gene Tierney is extremely independent and craves excitement, adventure, freedom and discovery. Tierney has a rebellious streak and she often feels she is unusual and different from society's mainstream. The unorthodox and the novel appeal to her.
