King Abdullah II of Jordan
motivation

Behind Abdullah II's rather cautious attitude and conservative appearance (mentioned in the previous chapter) lies a much more unconventional soul. He may seesaw between the traditional and the unorthodox, the pragmatic and the idealistic, or conformism and nonconformism. King Abdullah II of Jordan needs to find a balance or reconcile between these extremes. He may view himself as being more progressive than he is because King Abdullah II of Jordan surrounds himself with middle-of-the-road people. Moreover, his combination of objectivity and interest in world affairs and larger issues is likely to enable King Abdullah II of Jordan to become very successful at his business or whatever career he chooses.

He is a freedom-loving, strong-willed and independent-minded individual, and he insists upon living his own life as he sees fit, even if it means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships, King Abdullah II of Jordan cannot be owned or possessed, and while he is willing to share himself with another, he does not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of close relationships. Though intellectually open, Abdullah II can be enormously stubborn, opinionated and inflexible on a one-to-one level. King Abdullah II has strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and he tries to abide by them; however, his ideals about how people "should" treat one another do not always take into account human weaknesses, differences and needs. King Abdullah II of Jordan probably dislikes sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".

He is fair, intelligent, objective and rational and he often let his head rule rather than his heart.
