Mark Bradley’s psyche flows introspectively. He knows himself and strives to maximize his inner resources.

Mark Bradley is oriented toward other people and their personal interests. He is motivated by a need to work with others and to share in the experiences of life. His commitments to others are fundamental to his personal growth. If he wants to achieve equilibrium, he must behave in a way that yields benefits to others as well as himself.

While Mark Bradley is attracted to interpersonal activities, his significant need for inner security may stand in the way of his overtures to others. Since he is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with others. He unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself. Were he to evaluate his psychological development, he would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Mark Bradley has a tendency to identify with others. He forms friendships easily and naturally and enjoys participating in other people’s lives. Sociable, he enjoys being seen and appreciates popularity and recognition. Solitude bores him. His life and personal relations are in sync with his friendships and outer events. Most often, he shares the opinion of others.

Mark Bradley thinks, intuits, and perceives things primarily on an inner level. He is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, and eager to participate in everything that happens around him. His affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, he would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, he never allows himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, his buoyancy borders on indifference.

You work hard to understand other people’s feelings, but you find it difficult to empathize with them. You understand their emotions well, but it’s difficult for you to feel them yourself. You see the emotional world as a foreign place, and you might be frightened by it. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, it would be easier for you to understand and relate to other people’s feelings. You want to be emotionally independent, and might find it difficult to see other people’s emotional needs. You might also be the first to deny that someone’s emotional needs are real. This dependency on others is unconscious, and it’s often repressed. But despite your conscious resistance, you’re always making gradual, half-conscious forays into the world of emotions. You’re afraid of being alone, and you feel very lonely and lost.
