Ben Francis 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.

Ben Francis is relatively extroverted and leads a life open to the outside world. His personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Ben Francis is contributing to important social causes or collective ideals while maintaining his individual identity intact. For this reason, although he may become personally involved in social affairs, he is likely to resist any project he will be unable to lead himself according to his own individual direction. He tends to identify himself with an activity with social implications and attempt to know himself through this activity.

Ben Francis thinks, intuits, and perceptions dominate his psyche. He is open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, eager to participate in everything happening around him. His affections are lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, he seeks a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. He is light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, never allowing himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, his buoyancy borders on indifference.

You work hard to understand the feelings of others, but you find it difficult to understand your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign territory, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, you may appear to be cold or uninterested. You might have difficulty establishing a rewarding relationship, as you seek out special people to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with the feelings of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing the emotional needs of others. You might even be the first to deny that such needs exist. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
