Ike Turner
motivation

Behind Turner's rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), he is much more passionate and emotional. Ike Turner often conceals his vulnerability beneath a veneer of toughness or indifference.

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

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

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

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

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world are very attractive to Turner.

Ike Turner has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

Turner's subconscious needs and feelings blend well with his conscious intentions and desires, therefore Ike Turner is able to proceed in his life's pursuits relatively unhampered by internal resistance or inconsistency. Ike's male-female relationships will reflect this state of internal harmony also.

Turner seems to lack self-confidence and has a sense of anxiety and insecurity that has no obvious cause. Ike Turner tends to withdraw and his outlook in general could be a bit too negative. Ike Turner should beware of letting his emotional tension react to his physical well-being.
