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

Jack London is always questioning and learning, and he seems young and alive no matter what his chronological age, for his mind is always alert, curious, flexible, and open to new experiences. Jack London has a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and he learns easily, but he also gets bored rather quickly. London can be somewhat of a scatterbrain, for he tends to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. He needs and craves variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life.

Articulate, clever, often funny and witty, he is always a refreshing and interesting conversationalist. Jack London enjoys meeting and interacting with a variety of different people. He is friendly, flirtatious, and charming in a playful way, and no matter how badly he may be feeling, Jack never comes across as melancholic or somber. He may seem frivolous to other, more serious souls. Jack London has a sense of humor and a sense of perspective that prevent him from taking himself or life too seriously. In fact, London may seem flippant or unconcerned about matters that others consider very important.

In general, Jack London responds to life mentally and objectively rather than emotionally, and he may not empathize with people very much. Jack does not like to be weighed down with too much responsibility or with others' emotional burdens. Furthermore, if he cannot fully grasp something with his reason and logic, London will often choose to ignore it, including his own and other people's irrational feelings, desires, and needs.

Consistency and reliability are not great virtues of London's and his life is apt to be full of changes and movement due to his restlessness. Jack London becomes nervous and fidgety if things are not moving quickly enough. He is interested in what is current and up-to-date, the newest trends in thought or style.

His gifts are a quick mind, verbal facility, a flair for language, social sophistication and polish, the ability to communicate, converse, and build bridges between people and between ideas. Jack London tends to become an incessant chatterbox or gossip if he does not have work or other activities that utilize his mental, verbal, and social skills.

His emotional instincts, feelings, and intuition play a big part in the decisions Jack London makes and how he interacts with the world, and generally his feelings are quite accurate and helpful to him. Also, establishing emotional rapport with the people he meets on a day to day level is rather easy for London. Jack London appears somewhat sympathetic and concerned, so that others are drawn to him, especially when they need guidance or help.

London strongly resents daily routine and is always ready and willing to challenge life. Responding quickly to people around him, Jack London spontaneously connect with them and tends to become stimulated through them.
