Alexander Bauer seeks to make his inner wealth outwardly manifest and substantial.

Alexander Bauer, an individualist, tries to free himself from any outside influence and achieve his goals and ambitions by working and acting independently.

Alexander Bauer’s uppermost concern is his personal, subjective interest. Because the development of his personal identity requires great individual freedom of action, he tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations. Psychologically self-centered, he remains fairly detached from the social world. He reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. Individualistic and egocentric, he derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

Alexander Bauer 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 set for himself.

The struggle between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies is the salient feature of Alexander Bauer’s psyche. In his case, emotional and dynamic functions predominate over mental adaptations to the reality principle and practical capacities. He is propelled by dynamism and idealism on one hand, while endowed with emotionalism and sensitivity on the other. The resulting personality is passionate and fiery, excitable and impulsive, while greatly engaged with others and receptive to their overtures. If he encounters problems in life, their source can often be traced to a lack of realism and reflection.

Alexander Bauer struggles to get into physical harmony with the world and the limitations it places on him. He is idealistic and detached from practical considerations, and barely pays any attention to material things like food, money, and his surroundings. He tends to be footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until his lack of material resources becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead him to see himself as unfit for this world. He may think he cannot attach himself to anything that would sustain his efforts at self-expression. However, his impractical nature offers many positive aspects. He sees life’s possibilities as limitless. He is apt to develop his imagination or pursue a spiritual quest to transcend the material world.

Although you may not necessarily notice the fact about Alexander Bauer because he is so deeply engaged in actions, feelings, or material concerns, he sometimes lacks sound judgment. This impairment arises from a difficulty in obtaining perspective on himself and his life. He may be puzzled by his troubled relations with others. He must make an effort to detach himself from his personal reaction and observe it from an objective, more distant standpoint. If not, he is likely to find himself under stress or pressure because he did not give enough prior thought to tactics and strategy. He may also experience dissatisfaction in his intimate relationships because he might struggle to get in sync with others. He gives little time or respect to anyone he sees as too “intellectual,” because he resists adapting to new ideas and viewpoints. In fact, an idea that rubs him the wrong way mentally and/or emotionally may elicit an explosive reaction. Self-analysis can be challenging for him and he tends to refuse to develop a solid, permanent idea of himself – and this plays a lot of tricks on him.
