Abi Titmuss experiences her inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by her involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Abi Titmuss leads a life which is open to the outside world. Her personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. She is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Abi Titmuss tends to contribute to important social causes or collective ideals, but she keeps her individual identity intact. For this reason, although she may become personally involved in social affairs, she is likely to resist any project she will be unable to lead herself, according to her own individual direction. She tends to identify herself with an activity with social implications and attempt to know herself through this activity.

A struggle between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies is the salient feature of Abi Titmuss’s psyche. However, 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, Abi Titmuss may be a bit cautious and skeptical; her unwillingness to take risks may hold her back from gainful experiences, and she is only rarely eager to accept a challenge. Moreover, since her deepest emotions and feelings remain a mystery to her, her vision of the world is sometimes too rigid.

Abi Titmuss is characterized by a recurrent theme of tension and contradictions, which balance each other out and endow her with a stable character. Indeed, they are especially likely to protect her from frustrations and, in terms of reality, will enable her to achieve a certain level of social and professional success without too much effort on her part. At that point, she must be careful not to take on too many responsibilities. Her confidence in her ability to accomplish things may make her spread herself too thin.
