You have deeply-held convictions which you will defend with much emotional gusto. That is, your blood boils and your temperature rises and you become extraordinarily self-protective. Instead of they being just an attitude of mind, therefore, those issues which motivate and move you are prompted by something deep inside, and demand a great deal of your emotional commitment. This shows just how fierce is your allegiance to something – or somebody – once it has stirred your deepest passions. You will hold on to these things no matter what; indeed, your tenacity can sometimes prevent you from getting the right distance in order to see things objectively. If others on occasion think you’re initially too slow to react to a challenge, it would be more because of your desire to preserve the status quo, rather than because you lack courage.
