BJ Stead 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.

BJ Stead is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for her to make decisions alone. If she wants to achieve inner equilibrium, she must behave in such a way that her actions yield benefits to others as well as herself.

BJ Stead 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. He unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself. Were he to evaluate his psychological development, he would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

BJ Stead has a tendency to identify with others. He forms friendships easily and naturally and enjoys participating in other people’s lives. Sociable, BJ enjoys being seen and appreciates popularity and recognition. Solitude bores BJ. His life and personal relations are in sync with his friendships and outer events. Most often, BJ shares the opinion of others.

BJ Stead is a realist. He approaches life pragmatically and bases his judgments on past experience. He is skeptical and prone to skepticism. A hard worker, he takes pride in his own endeavors and has a personal concept of his productivity. His possessions help him assert himself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy him more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, he becomes attached to anything which offers him certainty.

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.
