Brandon Stoughton is a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in his psychological make-up, Brandon has acquired a deep sense of his individuality and uniqueness. Brandon sometimes feels “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of himself, Brandon attempts to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of his efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated. It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because Brandon’s impressive deeds usually earn recognition for him, and reinforce his self-assurance and his certainty that he does indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. Brandon sometimes makes an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. Brandon likes to take risks and give people advice. Nevertheless, at the basis of his conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. Brandon may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives Brandon to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on his ego. By creating something, Brandon can make his own individual mark on the world; he can organize it to reflect his own image, instead of allowing himself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in his own image are strong indications that Brandon seeks to identify with his superego. The difference between Brandon’s ideal of himself and the individual Brandon knows himself to be in truth, measured in terms of his social recognition or the recognition of his creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine his state of mind. It is therefore important for Brandon to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible. The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in Brandon’s personality. Brandon’s dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; Brandon’s strong instinct and ambition combined with his somewhat exaggerated individualism incline him to be self-focused. Brandon may be proud, but Brandon is also courageous, determined, and generous. Brandon has the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, Brandon is mysteriously lucky.
