Umberto Nobile
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Umberto's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Umberto Nobile comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Umberto Nobile - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Umberto Nobile" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Umberto a little better. This page describes the disguise Nobile wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Umberto Nobile appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Umberto has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Nobile tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Nobile.

Nobile approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Umberto Nobile is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Umberto's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Umberto and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.

He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Umberto Nobile empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and Umberto Nobile is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Umberto Nobile communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Umberto never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.

He is highly verbal and communicative. Connecting with and talking to other people are key aspects of Umberto's personality. Umberto Nobile may seem to be a busybody to others sometimes. He may also depend too much on other people's advice or feedback before making up his own mind, and Nobile may thus appear to be indecisive.

Umberto Nobile has a tendency to live in a world of his own, a world that is likely to be far from reality. Umberto wants to make a big impression, and with his dazzling personality he knows how to put on a brilliant show.
