Peter O'Toole
motivation

Behind O'Toole's sensible, solid, practical exterior (as described on the previous page) lies a much more flamboyant character, described below.

Proud and intensely individual, Peter O'Toole really wants to stand out, to be the very best he can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for his unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to him, and he cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Peter O'Toole must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. Peter O'Toole needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Peter has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Peter O'Toole also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Peter O'Toole, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and he secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Peter wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. He needs someone to believe in him and his dreams. Though O'Toole appears radiantly self-confident and independent, he is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. He cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Peter O'Toole also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. Peter O'Toole loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in his relationships. He is also immensely loyal and will defend his loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend his pride or betray his trust. However, Peter O'Toole likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Peter needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

O'Toole's strengths are his zest and love for life, his creative power and his warm and generous heart. His primary fault is his tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression he is making and with his own creative self-expression that he forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around him.

He is a private person and inclined to withdraw in very public and impersonal social settings. Peter O'Toole prefers to work at home or in a very personal small business.

O'Toole invests a lot of his creative energy into his home, family relationships, and inner life.

The above description of Peter O'Toole is so deeply ingrained that he has little objectivity and often little appreciation for other, different ways of approaching life. Peter O'Toole tends to be one-sided. There is little ambiguity in his makeup and he generally knows what he wants and what will make him happy.

O'Toole is capable of extraordinary physical or mental efforts to gain success and achieve something that will bring him recognition and respect. Peter O'Toole has a strong need for authority and power over others and is likely to perform better in a leading position.
