I am a natural non-conformist, a visionary, and a problem solver.

At work. I am conceptual and an independent thinker. For me, work is play. I am drawn to constant challenge in careers, and like to develop models, explore ideas, or build systems to satisfy my need to deal with the innovative. Once I have perfected an idea, I prefer to move on, leaving the project to be maintained and supported by others.

In love. I prefer to let my head rule my heart. I dislike repetition so it is difficult for me to continuously express feelings. I believe that once feelings are stated, they are obvious to a partner. I am uneasy when my emotions control me. I want to establish a relationship, leave it to maintain itself, and turn my energies back to my career.

In childhood. I appeared to be older than my years. I was focused on my greatest interests, and achieved more in subjects that were mentally stimulating. I was impatient with drill and routine. I questioned authority, and found it necessary to respect teachers before I could learn from them.
