Virginia Madsen
motivation

Although Virginia Madsen approaches life instinctively and intuitively (as described on the previous page), she also has a very analytical, rational, unemotional side, as discussed below. Her conflicting urges may vacillate between living passionately and dangerously, and being conservative and playing it safe.

At heart Virginia Madsen is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. Virginia Madsen has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Madsen can be relied upon to be cautious, efficient, and thorough in her work and she takes pride in a job well done. What she may lack in self-confidence Virginia Madsen often makes up for in skills - fostering expertise, technical knowledge and competence in a specialized area. She is adept at using her hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are her forte. Some would say she is a little too meticulous, for Madsen can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as she thinks it should be, and she worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. Virginia Madsen likes to organize, categorize and arrange everything into a logical system and is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Madsen. She probably wishes that she were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Madsen can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in her environment or within herself, Madsen tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. She is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in her self-assessment and often does not give herself enough praise or credit.

She is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about her diet, hygiene, and health habits. Virginia has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and is bothered by environmental elements (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. Her tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. She is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity. Madsen can sometimes be difficult to live with because of her fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though Virginia Madsen seems rather cool and self-contained, she is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. She is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. She is quietly devoted to the ones she cares for.

She is cautious, realistic and practical in her approach to life and disinclined to gamble. Virginia Madsen analyzes before she acts. She is sometimes too serious. If Madsen allowed herself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to her health!

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Madsen. Virginia Madsen has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Virginia Madsen may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Realistic and practical, Virginia Madsen sets goals for herself that are modest enough for her to actually achieve. She is able to tackle long, difficult projects and see them through, for Madsen possesses self-discipline, concentration and perseverance. Virginia Madsen also has a strong sense of responsibility and is very conscientious about fulfilling her obligations. Madsen often does things because she feels it is expected of her.

She may be a bit high-strung and over-zealous in the pursuit of her endeavors. Madsen always seems to be in a hurry and has the ability to evaluate situations quickly. Virginia Madsen has a brilliant mind and possibly could invent something.

Virginia Madsen has a strong need for intellectual relationships and associations and she likes to share her intellectual interests with others. This could be in meetings or by joining various clubs and organizations.
