What is Amber Benson’s Personality Type?
Amber Benson is a loner who is sometimes withdrawn and has a fairly chilly, nonchalant personality. Although she is introverted, she is extremely rational. She is wary at times of the outer world, her senses, and even her intellect, because they might all be sources of illusion. Her quest for identity with a spiritual whole gives her a voracious appetite for ideologies, structures, and theories. Readings which others would find abstract and intellectual impress her as reflections of important and lively realities. As a result, she has a penchant for reflection and philosophical study. She is intrigued by difficult problems and enjoys solving them. There is no difficulty which can discourage her from the goal she has decided to reach for herself. Her depth of vision, common sense, and caution, her tendency to be a bit calculating and sometimes conservative, her stamina, and her independent mind all give her the ability to tackle difficult tasks. Her concentration gives her an undeniable gift for abstraction and conjecture. As a theoretician, she aims to discover what is essential and universal. Indeed, she seeks to go beyond what is relative, contingent upon circumstances, or inadequate, to reach the absolute truth she fervently desires. Her budding intuition is extremely receptive to the sacred or holy. As a result, the ideal or cause she espouses will be related to the concept of universality or totality. Since her lifetime adventure is based in part on this absolute truth, it is important for her to make an effort to define its nature. What sort of universality are you striving for; what spiritual Everest (in yourself or outwardly) are you trying to scale? In fact, you tend to like mountain climbing, because of the effort it requires. It’s a great joy for you. Alone at the peak, you can contemplate and understand everything. In pursuit of this absolute center (positive or negative) which animates you, you are shrewd and persistent. Stamina and endurance are resources of which you are quite confident. Your existence and organism are arranged to optimize them; others may consider you slow, but you are really just playing it safe, because, unconsciously, you know time is on your side. When you take an initiative, it is after careful forethought and preparation. Your great composure, ability to resist and overcome obstacles and wickedness, and your foresight give you a great potential to accomplish total self-control. However, you must beware of one pitfall: excess. You tend to be a bit too rigid and intolerant; in intellectual pursuits
Amber Benson tends to place her emotions in the forefront. She is sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to influences from the outer world.
Amber Benson feels her loneliness more acutely when she’s not around other people.

Deliberation – Opposition to progress – Need for security – Compassion – Inhibition – Perseverance – Application – Pragmatism – Methodical mind – Productivity – Foresight – Sensuality – Loyalty.
The extreme steadiness, loyalty, and tenacity of your character endow you with the ability to organize your work meticulously and work with a power and purposefulness that no obstacle can impede. Your energy comes to the forefront especially when the people around you encounter difficulties or crises. Your attachment to material possessions, which procure for you the stability and security you need, leave you little freedom to enjoy surprises and changes in your routine. Despite a penchant for sorrow, nostalgia, and solitude, you are fairly amiable and willing to help others. Emotionally, you will commit yourself only after serious deliberation, but your love is steady and profound.
Amber Benson was born on the third day after the full moon rose, a “full moon” lunar type. This configuration gives her an objective, rational character, balanced by an idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull her in two different directions – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – she may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for her. At times, she is too demanding of herself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, she is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. She vacillates between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. Scheduling intensive work phases at that time would be wise for her.
