Michael Bell’s psyche follows an introverted flow. He knows himself and attempts to develop his inner resources to their maximum potential.

Bell, Michael.

You lead a life which is open to the outside world. Your personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. You are inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Michael Bell, while contributing to important social causes or collective ideals, tends to keep his individual identity intact. For this reason, although he may become personally involved in social affairs, he is likely to resist any project he will be unable to lead himself. He tends to identify himself with an activity with social implications and attempt to know himself through this activity.

Michael Bell is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better himself socially and intellectually. His ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and he will be eager to share them with others. Although he is kind-hearted, he enjoys being in control of situations. He derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround himself with people who need him. He is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. His visions derive from his ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to him, and he will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals he sets for himself.

A struggle between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies is the salient feature of your psyche. However, your 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. Moreover, since your deepest emotions and feelings remain a mystery to you, your vision of the world is sometimes too rigid.

You are aware of a lack of confidence in yourself and in life. Prone to apathy, you may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which you may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, you were not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, you are unable to move yourself toward an improved, more positive disposition. You may reject any challenge that would enable you to surpass your current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of your problem, you may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to you, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.

Michael Bell struggled to understand other people’s feelings. He found it difficult to connect with people emotionally, and found it difficult to understand his own emotions. He found the emotional world to be a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. Michael Bell had a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. He might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency on others was unconscious.
