Marie-José Perec uses her wit, intelligence, communication skills, social sophistication and awareness to achieve her goals.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Marie-José Perec enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. She is quite forthright and sometimes tactless.

Marie-José Perec feels frustrated in limited circumstances, and she will abandon secure and reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges and future growth potential.

Her drives and ambitions in life may seem crazy or eccentric to the more conservative people Marie-José knows.

Marie-José Perec could come into direct conflict with the authorities or powers-that-be as a result. She is apt to have extraordinary ambitions, and could also become overly zealous and fanatical.
