Roberta Close
drive and ambition

She is a perfectionist and has high standards for her own work. Roberta Close often feels that if she wants something done right she must do it herself, for others do not do as thorough a job as she does. Doing a task well is very important to her, and she may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Roberta Close strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and she becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

On the other hand, Roberta Close can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical that she will not even attempt many activities and projects, feeling that her efforts will simply not be good enough. She is usually modest and realistic in assessing what she can accomplish and, if anything, Roberta Close underestimates herself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and if Close does apply herself diligently in a given area, she gradually gains self-confidence as she masters skills and develops expertise.

Roberta Close conserves her energy and paces herself so that she does not waste or diffuse her efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit her opportunities. In short, Close may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

She has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Roberta Close is willing to dedicate a great deal of her energy and force to an important cause, and she will act decisively on her beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Close gets so involved and identified with her ideas that she cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes her philosophically.

She abounds with self-confidence and vitality and Roberta Close believes she can do just about anything she wants to. Roberta has an enterprising spirit, a good sense of timing and the ability to sense what will succeed and what will not. Close usually makes fortunate work or business decisions. She enjoys healthy competition and has a rather playful, good-humored attitude toward it. Roberta Close mostly competes with herself to see how far she can go or how much she can accomplish. Roberta likes to keep stretching her limits.

Dynamic, self-willed, and fiercely independent, she has extraordinary drive and energy. When Roberta Close wants something, she wants it this very minute, and she acts quickly, impulsively and decisively. Her impatience inclines Roberta Close to be abrupt with people and reckless. She needs a great deal of personal freedom to do things in her own way and does not happily conform to schedules, rules or regimes imposed by others. She is intolerant of authority and can be very rebellious. She is very frank with others, sometimes brutally so. Roberta Close may have an explosive temper. High-strung and often nervous and tense, Roberta finds it difficult to slow down, pace herself or relax. Roberta Close is always on the go. She is restless, daring and experimental.

Her competitive drive and lofty ambitions (commented upon earlier) feed on either intense spiritual idealism or a rather inflated, grandiose idea of what Roberta Close can actually accomplish. Her energy level is apt to fluctuate from being very high, as noted earlier, to rather low, as mentioned in the following paragraphs.

While Roberta Close is often charged with energy and inspired about what she wants to do (as mentioned earlier), there is a dreamy, visionary, or passive side to her as well. Her energy level may fluctuate from being superabundant to rather lax.

Unlike some who have hopes and fantasies, Close is a person who tries to live out these dreams, no matter how impractical or fantastic they seem. Roberta Close has a quixotic, idealistic streak. She may be more inspired to work for some higher cause than simply for her own personal achievement.

When Roberta Close wants something, she goes after it with passionate zeal and is sometimes so driven by her desire that she loses all objectivity. Roberta gets so deeply involved in whatever she is pursuing that she becomes one-sided, even fanatical. Strong-willed and stubborn, Roberta Close insists on having her way no matter the cost. She is fascinated with power. Close often tries to overpower anything or anyone she perceives as an obstacle, if not physically, then by the force of her will. Close can be ruthless and impersonal when it comes to achieving her ambitions and goals in life. Roberta Close has enormous energy and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement. Close can also become a compulsive workaholic.

Her nature tends to be rather impatient and combative. Often subjected to circumstances beyond her control, Roberta Close frequently feels frustrated and should avoid violent encounters and dangerous activities that could lead to accidents, if she is not careful.

To achieve her ambitions and long-range goals will require much stamina and self-reliance as well as a clearly defined strategy. Numerous setbacks, obstructions or delays can also be expected. A father figure, mentor, or authority in Close's life may withdraw support at a crucial time. However, this will not stop Roberta Close and may ultimately be a blessing in disguise.

Roberta Close has a desire to teach other people what she knows and may be interested in a career that serves the public through some educational programs. She is a very stimulating companion, but wants to be the central figure in discussions.
