Amy Tapper 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.

Amy Tapper 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.

Amy Tapper leads an important social cause or collective ideal, but she resists any project she will be unable to lead herself, according to her own individual direction. She identifies herself with an activity with social implications and attempts to know herself through this activity.

Amy Tapper is a realist. She approaches life pragmatically and even her feelings are based on rational, tangible evidence. She bases her judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A hard worker, she takes pride in her own endeavors and has a personal concept of her productivity. Her possessions help her assert herself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy her more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, she becomes attached to anything which offers her certainty.

Amy Tapper is not insensitive, but she is baffled by her own emotions. She sees the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, she may appear to be hard or aloof. She might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as she seeks special individuals to bond with. If she were able to accept and understand her own emotions, she would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. She has a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. She might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, her dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although she offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure her out of her emotional bubble, she is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because her loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
