Thomas Dekker
motivation

In addition to having an independent spirit, as described in the previous chapter, Thomas Dekker is also objective, pragmatic and quite ambitious. He is likely to work his way to the top of the ladder in some corporation, academic community or the like through his astute strategies combined with his willingness to take risks. Thomas Dekker aims to be the authority, the one in charge. At times his impulsiveness may be at odds with his conservative, responsible side (which is discussed below). Dekker could experience ongoing internal tension between pleasing himself and acting spontaneously versus doing what he needs to do to get ahead and realize his long-range ambitions.

Serious, disciplined and quietly ambitious, he is driven to prove himself and to achieve material accomplishments and success. His work, his position in the world, and his contributions to society are very important to Dekker. Thomas Dekker will persevere through enormous hardship and frustration in order to reach a goal he has set for himself, and he often sacrifices much in the area of personal relationships and home life in order to do so.

Thomas Dekker has a thoughtful, quiet and self-contained disposition and does not readily show his inner feelings and needs. Thomas Dekker seems to always be in control, capable, efficient and strong. He is often the person in the family or group who is given more responsibility (and more work) than the others. He is highly conscientious and even as a child he possessed great maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom.

He is basically a pragmatic realist, and though he may have all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, he feels that the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness. Thomas has an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a bit of the cynic in him as well.

He is clear-headed, detached and objective, and is not swayed by emotional dramatics. He is often authoritarian - strictly fair, but without mercy. Thomas Dekker has a great respect for tradition and even if he does not agree with certain laws, he will abide by them or strive to change them, but never flagrantly disregard them. Cautious and conservative, Thomas Dekker plays by the rules.

He is subtle, understated, quiet, deep, not easy to get to know intimately, and never superficial. He is a modest person and sometimes overly self-critical. Giving himself (and others) permission to feel, play, be spontaneous and silly, and sometimes weak and vulnerable is not easy for Dekker.

Dekker's strong points are his depth and thoroughness, patience, tenacity and faithfulness. His faults are a tendency to be rigid and inflexible, and too serious.

Dekker is very attracted to world travel, foreign cultures and studies that expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world.

Thomas Dekker is philosophically inclined and concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting an overall picture of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

Thomas Dekker tends to see things from his perspective only and to be rather subjective. He also enjoys talking and expressing his views but does not always listen as well. Thomas Dekker has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and he needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

Sensitive and imaginative, he is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. Thomas Dekker is impressionable and receptive, and often has experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. Thomas has an abundance of dreams, visions and longings, but does not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them materialize. Gentle, idealistic and peace loving, Thomas often seeks to avoid the harsh realities of life. Thomas has an ethereal quality about him.
