Mike Jones meets life head on and throws himself into new experiences with zest and enthusiasm. He is direct, straightforward, assertive, and usually completely aboveboard in all his dealings.

He tends to think in clear, black and white terms, and to be somewhat simplistic in his outlook, which enables Mike to act in a very decisive and self-assured manner.
