Tom Harmon
motivation

Much of what is stated in the previous chapter is similar to what is stated in this one. Tom Harmon's need to relate openly and honestly to others is very strong. Thomas has to be wary of the tendency to be so strongly influenced by the ideas and opinions of others that he is unsure of his own.

Harmony and balance are his keynotes. Tom Harmon instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and he is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Thomas does all he can to avoid conflict and discord. His spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and he often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Harmon since he can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make his own decisions. Harmon will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. He prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on his own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Tom Harmon, and he has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Tom Harmon invests a great deal of his energy in personal love relationships and he is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Tom Harmon seeks a partner who is his equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. He makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and he enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Harmon perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Tom Harmon appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in his personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to him. If Tom Harmon fights about anything, it is often about something he feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Thomas. He believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Tom Harmon also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Harmon dresses and furnishes his home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to him.

Tom Harmon tends to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where his efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged, or unknown to the public. Asserting himself or getting up in front of an audience may be exceedingly uncomfortable for Harmon.

Tom Harmon 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. Tom Harmon has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and he needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

He is intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical though Thomas often hides the intensity of his feelings and his personal motives and desires. Harmon is infatuated with power and has an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition and the desire to be "somebody". Tom Harmon tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma and often seeks to emulate them. Tom Harmon both fears, and is intensely fascinated with, death and the hidden, secret, dark side of life.

Tom Harmon has a sense of good fellowship and comradeship and is very much at ease in contact with others. Harmon works successfully with others in his community, groups or associations and may get some assistance from some very powerful and influential people.

He may find it hard to establish relationships with other people and he tends to look for more timid partners. Tom Harmon could also have difficulty expressing his ideas to others as well as coming to an understanding with them.
