Behind Hauer's proud and rather self-centered demeanor (described in the previous chapter), he is a thoughtful person concerned with social issues. He is very sensitive to the ways in which economic, social and cultural issues affect individuals. In his own life, Rutger Hauer struggles to find ways to advance himself while also contributing something valuable to his community. Hauer must not be content with simply blaming society for his own problems or those of others, but rather become active in finding creative ways to solve these problems.

He is a freedom-loving, strong-willed and independent-minded individual, and he insists upon living his own life as he sees fit, even if it means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships, Rutger Hauer cannot be owned or possessed, and while he is willing to share himself with another, he does not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of close relationships. Though intellectually open, Hauer can be enormously stubborn, opinionated and inflexible on a one-to-one level. Rutger has strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and he tries to abide by them; however, his ideals about how people "should" treat one another do not always take into account human weaknesses, differences and needs. Rutger Hauer probably dislikes sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".

He is fair, intelligent, objective and rational and he often let his head rule rather than his heart. Rutger Hauer seems rather self-sufficient and emotionally detached because he is capable of putting aside his personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once Rutger makes up his mind on an issue, it is difficult to dissuade him, and he can be rather dogmatic.

Rutger Hauer thinks in broad terms and is concerned with the world beyond his own personal sphere - his town, nation, or even planet. He is likely to become involved in, or show a keen interest in, community endeavors, social organizations and groups of all kinds.

His energies are directed toward either honing his professional techniques, skills and abilities or "perfecting", refining, and improving himself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process.

Hauer can easily become overly identified or involved with the task he performs, with his work, or with his own health and "growth process".
