She is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.

She is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning her moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. She is willing to work long and persistently for what she wants and she often does things the hard way. Sandra does not expect others to take care of her and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. She is often very ambitious, but quietly so.
