This page describes the disguise Junot wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Philippe Junot 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. Candid and incapable of guile, insincerity or phoniness, Philippe projects a confident and sometimes arrogant façade to others. He often lacks tact and sensitivity, and can be completely oblivious to others' needs, and inadvertently selfish. Junot is self-reliant and does not depend upon social approval and reinforcement as much as other people do. He likes to be original and does not mind doing it alone. Philippe Junot may feel that he does not fit into groups very well and that he does not naturally blend in and cooperate with others. He likes to be either a leader or a loner.

Junot is a doer and thrives on freedom, challenge, and activity. He tends to think in clear, black and white terms, and to be somewhat simplistic in his outlook, which enables Philippe to act in a very decisive and self-assured manner. When inspired by an idea, Philippe Junot feels such a sense of urgency and excitement about it that he will often forge ahead and try to implement it in a rather bold but poorly planned and crudely executed way. Patience and careful attention to details are not Junot's forte. However, he never accepts defeat and will experience brilliant and unprecedented successes and discoveries, as well as painful failures. To Philippe Junot it is far better to make mistakes than to play it safe and never try.

He is scornful of what he sees as weakness or passivity in others and also of the human tendency to imitate and follow. Philippe Junot is not a follower. Others see Philippe as a strong individual and perhaps brash and brazen as well. Junot presents a strong front to the world and generally does not allow others to see his vulnerable or insecure side.

Philippe Junot has a sweet, appealing demeanor and seems instinctively to grasp the concept that "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar". His personal brand of charm is usually quite winning. Philippe coaxes rather than coerces. However, if he does not get what he wants, Philippe Junot is likely to resort to insincere flattery, wheedling, whining or pouting rather than stating directly what he needs, or doing it for himself. Junot seems to need others' approval first.

He is assertive and bold. Philippe Junot is willing to be the first person to speak up and make his position known, and to strike out on his own if necessary. Philippe generally gets along better with men than with women because his approach is quite direct and sometimes tactless and insensitive as well. He can be a bit too forceful. However, Philippe Junot's boldness is his calling card, and most people feel that he can at least be trusted to be honest with them.

In significant ways, Junot's emotional nature and personal needs are at odds with the way he presents himself. As a result of this inconsistency, Philippe Junot may be uncomfortable showing his instinctive responses and true feelings. He may put them aside and may even be ashamed of them.

When Philippe Junot is in an emotionally charged situation, those who do not know him well may be quite surprised at his reactions or behavior. The real challenge, though, is to completely accept himself, so that he does not act as if his emotional needs and impulses did not count for very much.

Philippe is adept and competent and has the ability to express himself well. Philippe Junot likes to be in touch with people and is eager to share his views with them. His ability to give and receive mental stimulation attracts many fruitful conversations and relationships.
