Joseph Cotten
drive and ambition

Joseph Cotten is extremely strong-willed and he pursues his goals and desires with passionate dedication and determination. He is capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline, and he is very difficult to influence or sway once his mind is made up. When Joseph Cotten wants something, Cotten can be very one-sided and almost obsessed with it. He is very instinctive and does not always consciously know why he feels as strongly and deeply as he does.

He also tends to be secretive and unwilling to reveal his aims and intentions, and the intensity of his will and desire may not initially be apparent to others. However, Cotten is very forceful in a quiet and subtle way. Joseph Cotten often manipulates or forces his will upon other people, without being overtly aggressive. He is not interested in confrontation but he is a formidable foe if he encounters opposition or aggression. Joseph is courageous and has a rather primitive, raw side as well.

Joseph Cotten has an adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit and the instincts to achieve major success. Competition and rivalry spur Joseph Cotten on to do his best and push past his limits. He enjoys taking initiative and has positive expectations that generate positive results. At times, however, Joseph Cotten is overconfident, cocky and vainglorious. Sports and business are both suitable arenas for Cotten.

He is very sensitive to the inner qualities of sincerity, honesty, integrity and good will. Joseph Cotten notices these qualities (or the lack thereof) more quickly than others and brings them up frequently. He is philosophical about life and very perceptive, but may have an exaggerated sense of his own wisdom and depth of understanding of religious, metaphysical, artistic, or intuitive subjects.

In meeting his challenges and difficulties in life, Joseph Cotten does have allies: his ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, his ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort. Remaining steady in the midst of crisis or sudden change is an aspect of this, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes. Joseph's timing is usually good.

His role in life is apt to be one of great responsibility and Joseph Cotten takes his tasks very seriously. Certain heaviness weighs on him because of this.

He is attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and which offer Joseph Cotten a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not his cup of tea. Joseph may make his living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area or talent, and he is happiest when he can create a place in the world for his unique combination of different talents and interests.
