Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Tom DeLay" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Tom a little better. This page describes the disguise DeLay wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

He is very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind DeLay's quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When Tom DeLay wants something he goes after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and what Tom DeLay wants, Tom DeLay usually gets.

He is not a person who lives haphazardly or superficially. Tom wants to live passionately and intensely and is not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. Tom DeLay functions well in crisis situations and he often seeks them out, for he enjoys the feeling of living at full capacity.

He is very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. Tom DeLay usually has strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. DeLay approaches life very instinctively and is not always fully conscious of why he feels or acts the way he does. Tom DeLay also has a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal rapport with them.

In new relationships he is rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until he gets to know and trust someone - and trust does not come easily to DeLay. When Tom DeLay commits himself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, he is intensely loyal and devoted to them and he also expects the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If he is ever betrayed by someone he cares deeply for, Tom DeLay is capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as he once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, he is intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever he cares about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in him.

Because of his natural reserve, others may see Tom DeLay as something of an enigma. He is quite self-protective and often defensive. Tom DeLay also has a very magnetic quality, especially to members of the opposite sex.

Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is youthfulness about Tom's manner and appearance regardless of his chronological age. Tom DeLay also always appears busy and active, and somewhat restless. DeLay needs mental stimulation from his environment, or he will rapidly get bored.

He is direct, honest, and to the point - some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who Tom DeLay is or what he wants - he is pretty much up front.
