Xaviera Hollander
motivation

The way Xaviera Hollander appears or comes across to others is very congruent with her true nature so "what she sees is what you get". The description below reinforces what you read about Xaviera in the previous chapter.

Xaviera Hollander is, in many ways, an eternal child. Her mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and her attention span is often quite brief. Hollander grasps ideas quickly and once her initial curiosity has been satisfied, she is ready to move on. Xaviera Hollander craves frequent change and variety, as well as new situations and people.

It may be hard for Xaviera Hollander to decide just where her talents and true vocation lie, for she has a multitude of interests and is loathe limiting herself by concentrating on just one. She is easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. Her curiosity and restlessness propel Xaviera toward many different experiences in life, and she is willing to taste or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it is something she does well, is tantamount to drudgery for Hollander.

Xaviera Hollander lives in her head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and she needs mental stimulation every bit as much as she needs food and drink. In fact, if Xaviera had to choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, she would very likely choose the former. Xaviera Hollander has a creative mind and she often lives by her wits.

She is also a very social creature, with a strong need to communicate and interact with people. She enjoys using and playing with words and has a real flair for getting her ideas across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing and/or speaking are areas she has talent for.

Xaviera Hollander also has a rather lighthearted and mischievous sense of humor, and often does not take anything too seriously. Though she craves emotional involvement, it is hard for Xaviera Hollander to achieve it, for she is frequently unwilling to commit herself to anything, to take responsibility or to limit her personal freedom and mobility.

Her happiness lies in using her creativity and language skills to communicate something meaningful, teach, inspire, or bring people together. Xaviera has an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Her faults are her lack of constancy and persistence, and her tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other people's feelings.

Xaviera Hollander has a clear sense of her own self and she therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who she is and what she wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Hollander can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but she competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Xaviera Hollander feels a need to be in control of her own life and she can be too self-involved, too immersed in her own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Xaviera Hollander 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. Xaviera likes to be in control of herself.
