Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Ralph Abernathy" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Ralph a little better. This page describes the disguise Abernathy wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, he is a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, Ralph Abernathy frequently has a jaundiced view of such things. He is rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even somewhat of a cynic. Often the world does not seem like a safe, friendly place to Abernathy, and he tends to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. He is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.

He is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning his moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. He is willing to work long and persistently for what he wants and he often does things the hard way. Ralph does not expect others to take care of him and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. He is often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about his approach. He is very responsible, conscientious, and concerned with his duties to others and how he comes across socially - his "rank" so to speak.

To others Ralph Abernathy seems mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. Ralph dislikes sloppy sentimentality and will not openly display his feelings, especially the more tender ones. Abernathy likes to always appear poised and in control; and he hates to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in his armor.

Ralph Abernathy respects tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and he feels that there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise mentor or father is often Abernathy's guide in life, and he in turn develops a great deal of hard-earned wisdom, which he likes to impart to younger people.

Ralph Abernathy has a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to his personality. He expects much from himself and may not give himself enough leeway to experiment and make mistakes.

He also tends to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve his money and resources rather than spending or enjoying them. Ralph Abernathy spends money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in him. Ralph exercises great self-discipline and self-control and he can "do without" very well. His tastes are generally understated and simple.

Though he may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face Abernathy shows the world is modest and rather conservative.

He may come across as a bit scattered, nervous or restless, as if unable to sit still. Ralph Abernathy seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Ralph tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind soothing.
