Amanda Tarver thought, intuition, and inner perceptions predominated in her psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, she was eager to participate in everything happening around her. Her affections were lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, she would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration.

You work hard to understand the feelings of others. But your difficulty in empathizing makes it difficult for you to understand your own feelings and emotional needs. You see the emotional world as a foreign territory, 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 could accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with the feelings of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing the emotional needs of other people. 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.
