The psyche of Alex follows an introverted flow. Alex knows herself and attempts to develop her inner resources to their maximum potential.

Alex’s tendency to introversion inclines him to live inside himself, amid his inner world. He is apt to listen to his subjectivity, his intuition, and his secret opinions rather than reason and logic.

Alex’s uppermost concern is his personal, subjective interest. Because the development of his personal identity requires great individual freedom of action, Alex tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations. Psychologically self-centered, Alex remains fairly detached from the social world. He reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. Individualistic and egocentric, Alex derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

Alex is self-focused. Individualistic, and independent, and he finds he is rarely of the same opinion as others. He may tend to isolate himself from the outer world. On the other hand, he is gifted with the ability to concentrate on whatever subject is really important to him, which would enable him to acquire expertise in any professional domain he chose. But first he would have to overcome his initial subjectivity.

A struggle between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies is the salient feature of your psyche. However, mental skills and an ability to adapt to the reality principle predominate, though they are subject to impulses from dynamic and emotional principles. Intuition and practicality make a harmonious combination, yielding unusually clear insights into reality and its limitations. The resulting behavior patterns are efficient and practical. However, you may be a bit cautious and skeptical; your unwillingness to take risks may hold you back from gainful experiences, and you are only rarely eager to accept a challenge. Additionally, since your deepest emotions and feelings remain a mystery to you, your vision of the world is sometimes too rigid.

You work harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors your own difficulty in understanding your own feelings and emotional needs. You are not insensitive, but you are baffled by your own emotions. You see 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, you may appear to be hard or aloof. You might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as you seek special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
