Johnny Zander understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and he is capable of much self-discipline and patience once he sets his sights on a goal.

But Johnny Zander is very judgmental and hard on himself if he fails to attain success, and he can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize his efforts.

His faith, optimism, and sense of possibilities are tempered by a great deal of caution, and often doubt or skepticism as well. Whatever hopes or visions Johnny Zander has for his life are firmly held in check by his sense of reality. At times he may wish for more freedom, but Johnny also fears it and holds back. Johnny Zander may blame practical limitations, some external condition or the prevailing Authority for his own inhibitions.

Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Johnny Zander needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.
