John Cage
motivation

Much of what is stated in the previous chapter and this one is similar. His well-honed analytical skills should help John Cage be successful. His tendency to criticize rather than empathize, however, often makes others feel that he does not appreciate or respect them.

At heart John Cage is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. John Cage has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Cage 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 John Cage 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 Cage 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. John Cage 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 Cage. He probably wishes that he were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Cage can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in his environment or within himself, Cage 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. John 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. Cage can sometimes be difficult to live with because of his fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though John Cage 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. John Cage analyzes before he acts. He is sometimes too serious. If Cage allowed himself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to his health!

John Cage has a clear sense of his own self and he therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who he is and what he wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Cage can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clash with other strong individuals. John Cage feels a need to be in control of his own life and he can be too self-involved, too immersed in his own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Cage always seems to find the right words to verbalize his feelings, especially in regard to love and friendship. John Cage also has a keen sense of beauty and he probably appreciates art, music or poetry.

John Cage tends to think and act bravely and has a positive and firm demeanor. John has what it takes to make his own way in life. He may be a bit excitable, but never shy away from a good argument.
