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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Tracy Richman likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. She is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. She is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Richman must have something of her own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that she can develop and manage according to her own will and vision. Whatever Tracy does, she does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. She likes to put her own personal stamp on it.

Tracy Richman also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats her in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Richman will rarely confront the offender - she is too proud to do so - but she will lose her affection and respect for them. Tracy dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Richman admires others who are strong individuals like herself. When Tracy Richman befriends someone, Richman is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. She is very giving and generous, but her gifts are never anonymous - Tracy expects recognition and appreciation for them. She also expects the intense loyalty that she offers to her dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Tracy Richman often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as herself, for she does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If she is not in the leading role, she aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Tracy always puts her best face forward and rarely allows others to see her hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Tracy Richman also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although she does not like others to realize just how important it is to her.

Her outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. Her own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Tracy more than anything else. Tracy Richman feels that if she does her best where she is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.
