Anthony Fantano has a complex personality. He is stirred with contradictory impulses and desires, some of them imperious. Although his rational mind is highly developed and seems to be the source of motivation for his behavior, the most significant realm of his psychology is his subconscious.

Deductive, analytical, prospective, he is at once a researcher, a detective, and a scientist. He is fairly introverted, and his discrimination tends to direct him toward the spheres of inner life. He is astute at drawing rational parallels between phenomena of different origins. His love life will be subject to desire and passion.
