Robert Taft
motivation

Much of what is stated in the previous chapter and this one is similar. His well-honed analytical skills should help Robert Taft be successful. His tendency to criticize rather than empathize, however, often makes others feel that he does not appreciate or respect them.

At heart Robert Taft is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. Robert Taft has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Taft can be relied upon to be cautious, efficient, and thorough in his work and he takes pride in a job well done. What he may lack in self-confidence Robert Taft often makes up for in skills - fostering expertise, technical knowledge and competence in a specialized area. He is adept at using his hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are his forte. Some would say he is a little too meticulous, for Taft can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as he thinks it should be, and he worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. Robert Taft likes to organize, categorize and arrange everything into a logical system and is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Taft. He probably wishes that he were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Taft can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in his environment or within himself, Taft tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. He is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in his self-assessment and often does not give himself enough praise or credit.

He is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about his diet, hygiene, and health habits. Robert has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and is bothered by environmental elements (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. His tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. He is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity. Taft can sometimes be difficult to live with because of his fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though Robert Taft seems rather cool and self-contained, he is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. He is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. He is quietly devoted to the ones he cares for.

He is cautious, realistic and practical in his approach to life and disinclined to gamble. Robert Taft analyzes before he acts. He is sometimes too serious. If Taft allowed himself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to his health!

Robert Taft has a clear sense of his own self and he therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who he is and what he wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Taft can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Robert Taft feels a need to be in control of his own life and he can be too self-involved, too immersed in his own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Robert Taft tends to think and act bravely and has a positive and firm demeanor. Robert has what it takes to make his own way in life. He may be a bit excitable, but never shy away from a good argument.

He is creative and talented, but must develop self-discipline to channel his energies productively. Robert Taft may feel that everything is going to be all right, that he cannot lose and may take risks by gambling or speculating, which could result in disappointments.

Robert has an optimistic and harmonious personality and he happily goes about the attainment of his goals. Taft knows how to make the best of life's opportunities and he gets along with everyone. Robert Taft has the good fortune to live in pleasant and agreeable circumstances.
