Herschel Savage
drive and ambition

Herschel Savage 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. Herschel Savage 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. Herschel Savage 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. Herschel Savage avoids extremism and favors a balanced, moderate approach to living. He is unlikely to push himself too hard or to become fanatically driven to reach his goals.

Herschel Savage encounters numerous challenges and possibly defeats in the pursuit of his goals and desires, and his setbacks often occur because Herschel has been too rash or intent on satisfying his own will regardless of the impact on others.

Intensely restless, dynamic and energetic, he is always on the go. When Herschel Savage wants something, he wants it NOW, and he acts decisively and impulsively, albeit sometimes hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, Herschel finds it difficult to slow down, pace himself or relax. He is fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. Herschel Savage has a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not Savage's strong point! He is often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when he is pursuing a desired goal. He may demonstrate an explosive temper when his will is blocked. Herschel Savage has a superabundance of energy and he needs a great deal of personal freedom to do things in his own style and at his own pace.

Herschel Savage has a passive side and at times lacks the will power, physical energy, strength and fighting spirit to achieve his aims.

When Herschel Savage wants something, he can be amazingly persistent and unrelenting - even a bit obsessed - although quiet about it.
