Griffin Johnson is a loner. Griffin is sometimes withdrawn and has a fairly chilly, nonchalant personality. Although Griffin is introverted, Griffin is extremely rational. Griffin is wary at times of the outer world, Griffin’s senses, and even Griffin’s intellect, because they might all be sources of illusion. Griffin’s quest for identity with a spiritual whole gives Griffin a voracious appetite for ideologies, structures, and theories. Readings which others would find abstract and intellectual impress Griffin as reflections of important and lively realities. As a result, Griffin has a penchant for reflection and philosophical study. Griffin is intrigued by difficult problems and enjoys solving them. There is no difficulty which can discourage Griffin from the goal Griffin has decided to reach for Griffinself.

Griffin’s depth of vision, common sense, and caution, Griffin’s tendency to be a bit calculating and sometimes conservative, Griffin’s stamina, and Griffin’s independent mind all give Griffin the ability to tackle difficult tasks. Griffin’s concentration gives Griffin an undeniable gift for abstraction and conjecture. As a theoretician, Griffin aims to discover what is essential and universal. Indeed, Griffin seeks to go beyond what is relative, contingent upon circumstances, or inadequate, to reach the absolute truth Griffin fervently desire. Griffin’s budding intuition is extremely receptive to the sacred or holy. As a result, the ideal or cause Griffin espouse will be related to the concept of universality or totality. Since Griffin’s lifetime adventure is based in part on this absolute truth, it is important for Griffin to make an effort to define its nature. What sort of universality are Griffin striving for; what spiritual Everest (in Griffinself or outwardly) are Griffin trying to scale? In fact, Griffin tend to like mountain climbing, because of the effort it requires. It’s a great joy for Griffin. Alone at the peak, Griffin can contemplate and understand everything. In pursuit of this absolute center (positive or negative) which animates Griffin, Griffin is shrewd and persistent. Stamina and endurance are resources of which Griffin is quite confident. Griffin’s existence and organism are arranged to optimize them; others may consider Griffin slow, but Griffin is really just playing it safe, because, unconsciously, Griffin know time is on Griffin’s side. When Griffin take an initiative, it is after careful forethought and preparation.

Griffin’s great composure, ability to resist and overcome obstacles and wickedness, and Griffin’s foresight give Griffin a great potential to accomplish total self-control. However, Griffin must beware of one pitfall: excess. Griffin tend to be a bit too rigid and intolerant; in intellectual pursuits, Griffin can tend to be dogmatic, hermetic, or conformist. Some people criticize Griffin’s obsession with labeling things. A creature of duty, naturally sober and relatively self-disciplined, sometimes a little too demanding of Griffinself, Griffin might commit Griffinself to a productive lifestyle as readily as to a stoic philosophy. The path to liberty mapped by a respect for order is not the easiest to follow. Griffin’s introverted personality gives Griffin an attitude of reserve. Griffin appreciate solitude and do not always enjoy sharing Griffin’s feelings. Griffin avoid superficial human contact as much as possible. Indeed, Griffin sometimes feels uncomfortable at long, drawn-out social occasions and activities, and Griffin’s interest in others is aroused only when they discuss subjects of special concern to Griffin, such as Griffin’s own business.

This cold exterior hides a lively sensitivity and a heart eager for passion. Quite sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to emotional urges, Griffin would rather be safe than sorry. Griffin tend to avoid casual dating and meaningless love affairs because they may destabilize Griffin. As in every other endeavor, any emotional enterprise Griffin embark upon will be for the long-term, after careful forethought and deliberation. Griffin prize deep feelings and the intense passion they arouse. Once Griffin find a kindred spirit, Griffin will have to learn how to express Griffin’s feelings and release long pent-up urges. It is important for Griffin to succeed, because if Griffin’s emotions are deprived of the energy to obtain a release, Griffin’s personality will become mired in a bog of unconscious repressed desires and frustrated yearnings. The inability to assert the aspirations of Griffin’s heart would be reflected by a type of behavior which would bring on Griffin’s total isolation and separation from others.
