Rose Kennedy may feel that she does not fit into groups very well and that she does not naturally blend in and cooperate with others. She likes to be either a leader or a loner.

She tends to think in clear, black and white terms, and to be somewhat simplistic in her outlook, which enables Rose to act in a very decisive and self-assured manner.

To Rose Kennedy it is far better to make mistakes than to play it safe and never try.
