AJ McLean’s psyche follows an introverted flow. He knows himself and attempts to develop his inner resources to their maximum potential.

AJ McLean leads a relatively outwardly-oriented life; his personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

AJ McLean is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better himself socially and intellectually. His ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and he will be eager to share them with others. Although he is kind-hearted, he enjoys being in control of situations. He derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround himself with people who need him. He is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. His visions derive from his ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to him, and he will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals he sets for himself.

Your psyche is ruled by two fundamentally opposed psychological tendencies. In your case, the dynamic functions and a capacity to adapt to reality predominate over mental and emotional principles. Endowed with the idealism and energy of one element, and the practical resources and sensuality of the other, your personality is deeply rooted in reality while retaining a remarkable ability to set high goals and accomplish them. A deficit in the other psychological functions (thought and emotion) tends to blunt your approach to life, however; you may appear to lack subtlety and tact. If you struggle to get in touch with your deepest emotions, you might have a somewhat cold, crude vision of the world.

AJ McLean struggles to understand other people’s feelings. He is not insensitive, but he is baffled by his own emotions. He sees the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, he may appear to be hard or aloof. He might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as he seeks special individuals to bond with. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. AJ McLean has a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. He might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although he offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure him out of his emotional bubble, he is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because his loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
