H. G. Wells
motivation

His rather unconventional, liberal appearance (described in the previous chapter) actually masks a more conservative nature. Herbert George Wells may be torn at times between the side of his that wants to make waves and shake things up, and the one (described in more detail below) that wants to organize and put things in order.

He is a natural "efficiency expert" and he has a knack for organizing affairs so they run smoothly.

At heart Herbert George Wells is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. Herbert George Wells has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Wells can be relied upon to be cautious, efficient, and thorough in his work and he takes pride in a job well done. What he may lack in self-confidence Herbert George Wells often makes up for in skills - fostering expertise, technical knowledge and competence in a specialized area. He is adept at using his hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are his forte. Some would say he is a little too meticulous, for Wells can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as he thinks it should be, and he worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. Herbert George Wells likes to organize, categorize and arrange everything into a logical system and is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Wells. He probably wishes that he were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Wells can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in his environment or within himself, Wells tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. He is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in his self-assessment and often does not give himself enough praise or credit.

He is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about his diet, hygiene, and health habits. Herbert has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and is bothered by environmental elements (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. His tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. He is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity. Wells can sometimes be difficult to live with because of his fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though Herbert George Wells seems rather cool and self-contained, he is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. He is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. He is quietly devoted to the ones he cares for.

He is cautious, realistic and practical in his approach to life and disinclined to gamble. Herbert George Wells analyzes before he acts. He is sometimes too serious. If Wells allowed himself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to his health!

Herbert George Wells invests a tremendous amount of his creative energy into his relationships with others, particularly his marriage or other close partnerships. Herbert feels that he needs others in order to be all that he can be, and he is disinclined to solitary activities and endeavors.

Working with people on a one-to-one basis to bring about mutual understanding, harmony, and satisfaction is an area in which Herbert George Wells can really excel. Counseling or negotiating are talents of his.

Herbert George Wells has a powerful personality and a tendency to run roughshod over others. Herbert tends to inflict his will on them whether or not they are receptive. He is likely to gain respect from others through the demonstration of physical strength and bravery.
