Whoopi Goldberg
motivation

Behind Goldberg's seemingly rational, detached, cool and objective demeanor (as described on the previous page), she is really far more passionate and emotionally intense, as described below.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, she is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Whoopi Goldberg is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and she only allows a special few into her inner world. Like a wary animal, she is cautious and mistrustful of those she does not know until "he sniffs them out". She is highly instinctive and intuitive. Whoopi Goldberg usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though she may be unable to clearly articulate why she feels the way she does. Her feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Whoopi Goldberg also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and she forms very intense love bonds and attachments. She is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that she perceives as a threat to her relationship with someone she loves. When Whoopi Goldberg commits herself to someone or something, she is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Whoopi merges with or "marries" the person she loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for her, and often stormy and nasty. When Goldberg has been wounded, she is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Whoopi will most certainly never forget the hurt and she often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to her.

Whatever she does, Whoopi does with passion and fervor, and she often goes to extremes. Goldberg can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Goldberg can also be very narrow-minded: either she is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for her at all. Rarely is Whoopi Goldberg emotionally detached and objective. She definitely has a fanatical streak. She is also immensely strong-willed and her tenacity in pursuing her objectives often borders on obsession. She is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Whoopi Goldberg loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Whoopi never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Whoopi Goldberg tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand her intellectual horizons and broaden her understanding of the world are very attractive to Goldberg.

Whoopi Goldberg has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy her mind much of the time.

Whoopi Goldberg has a mature and often somber demeanor. She is serious, reserved, self-disciplined, highly responsible and conscientious. She progresses rather slowly in life, through her own efforts and persistence. She is also rather stern and judgmental, especially with herself. Cautious and careful, it is difficult for her to really let go, be spontaneous and playful. Whoopi likes to be in control of herself.

Whoopi Goldberg has a pleasant and dreamy disposition with considerable romantic imagination. Whoopi has a strong longing for love, but she does not see others very clearly and may experience many disappointments in her emotional relationships.
