Larry King
motivation

Behind King's rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), he is much more passionate and emotional. Larry King often conceals his vulnerability beneath a veneer of toughness or indifference.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Larry King is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Larry King usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Larry King also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Larry King commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Larry merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When King has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Larry will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Larry does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. King can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. King can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Larry King emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Larry King loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Larry never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Larry King tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

His career, reputation and public image are very important to King. Larry King has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. He is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Larry King may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Larry King tends to see things from his perspective only and to be rather subjective. He also enjoys talking and expressing his views but does not always listen as well. Larry King has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and he needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

At times Larry King may feel an uncontrollable urge to radically alter his direction in life or to act in ways that seem eccentric or at least highly atypical. When his life becomes too predictable, Larry may do something to upset the status quo, sometimes without realizing why or how he is doing it. These impulses may seem at odds with his conscious intent and desires for himself, and can be unsettling. However, there is a streak of unconventionality and creative genius in Larry King that needs to be expressed now and then.

Larry King deeply believes in his own power and his ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Larry has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, he pursues his desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and he may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Larry likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

King seems to lack self-confidence and has a sense of anxiety and insecurity that has no obvious cause. Larry King tends to withdraw and his outlook in general could be a bit too negative. Larry King should beware of letting his emotional tension react to his physical well-being.
