Spiro Agnew
motivation

Behind Agnew's rather jovial, open, enthusiastic demeanor (as described on the previous page), there is a very different side to him - deeper, more serious, and more emotionally intense, as described below. His optimism and idealism are tempered and balanced by a certain skepticism and a sense of the darker side of life and of people.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Spiro Agnew is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Spiro Agnew usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Spiro Agnew also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Spiro Agnew commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Spiro merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Agnew has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Spiro will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Spiro does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Agnew can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Agnew can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Spiro Agnew emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Spiro Agnew loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Spiro never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Spiro Agnew tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

Leading groups and classes, and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where Spiro Agnew really shines and expresses his creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions is natural to him.

Spiro Agnew is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. His artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Spiro does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Agnew, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.

Spiro has lofty aspirations but does not struggle or labor to achieve them. His self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefit him in an almost magical way. His optimism and cheerful generosity also win Agnew many allies and successes in life.

Spiro Agnew has a strong will and the desire to be successful no matter what obstacles or resistance he has to overcome. Whatever he does, he knows what he wants to get out of it and drives toward that end with great vigor.

His physique tends to be sensitive and his vitality may be a bit low. Spiro Agnew is very impressionable and somewhat unrealistic. Sometimes his idealism could be confused or impractical, and Agnew can be rebellious or else apathetic.
