The following is a description of Taylor's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Taylor Hanson comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Taylor Hanson - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Taylor Hanson" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Taylor a little better. This page describes the disguise Hanson wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Taylor Hanson appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Taylor has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Hanson tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Hanson.

Hanson approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Taylor Hanson is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Taylor's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Taylor and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.

He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Taylor Hanson empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and Taylor Hanson is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Taylor Hanson communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Taylor never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.

He may seem to others to be very gentle, malleable, and easily taken in. As a result, people can take advantage of Taylor Hanson, especially through his pity or sympathy. If Taylor seems to be continually disappointed by or deceived by others, he should try to see how his own naiveté may be contributing to these situations.

To others, Taylor Hanson appears capable, mature, and down to earth. Even when he was young, there was a certain practicality and responsible air about Taylor that inspired people to rely on him. Hanson keeps his cool in most situations.

There is a certain intensity, charisma, or compelling attractiveness about Taylor Hanson that may have little to do with his physical features. It is energy, a subtle sexuality that he emanates. Also, Hanson tends to do everything wholeheartedly and with passion, which is quite fascinating to other people. His instincts and psychological perceptions about others are quite incisive.
