Bart Baker experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Bart Baker is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If he wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

Bart Baker is attracted to interpersonal activities, but his significant need for inner security may stand in the way of his overtures to others. Since he is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with others. Bart unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself.

Bart Baker has two fundamentally opposed psychological tendencies that rule his psyche. In Bart’s case, dynamic functions and a capacity to adapt to reality predominate over mental and emotional principles. Endowed with the idealism and energy of one element, and the practical resources and sensuality of the other, Bart’s personality is deeply rooted in reality while retaining a remarkable ability to set high goals and accomplish them. A deficit in the other psychological functions (thought and emotion) tends to blunt Bart’s approach to life, however; Bart may appear to lack subtlety and tact. If Bart struggles to get in touch with his deepest emotions, he might have a somewhat cold, crude vision of the world.

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