Finding Your Own Path

As an Individualist, you stand out as your own person—imaginative, curious, shrewd, and filled with surprises. You're a free spirit. You've chosen your own path in life and don't do things simply to please other people. You're creative, intelligent, and opinionated. This isn't always a popular combination! Some misinterpret your independence and questioning; they may see you as eccentric and difficult.

It's true you're a natural skeptic and critic. You're often more in tune with what's wrong in a situation than what's right. You've probably gravitated toward jobs and hobbies where you can investigate, analyze, and solve problems. The challenge is being able to turn off that "critical eye." Skepticism and doubt are great tools at work, but they can be destructive in your personal life.

Fortunately, your quirky take on life can be very attractive. You have a neurotic streak and just enough outward vulnerability to make you approachable. You often say and do the unexpected, which makes you fun and exciting to be around. You also have a mischievous streak and a wicked sense of humor. Individualists have a knack for innovation. Like pioneers, you have the potential to chart a new course and break new ground in your career and community. If you believe in something, you defend it passionately and aren't easily intimidated. In fact, you have to keep your defenses in check to avoid seeming too adversarial. Not everyone will appreciate it, but you're a true original.

See if that discription fits one of the many current presidential candidates.

It would seem to be a very good template for any of those men and woman to aspire to.

I don't know. Even if it does suit one or another the candidates get so paranoid about making a public gaffe that these qualities never shine through.

Individualism is in short supply among politicians these days.

Unless of course they are homely, strange sounding men like Peter DeFazio, Henry Waxmen or Charlie Rangle.

And regardless of how well one of these or any other average appearing politician would do as president is a moot point.

It isn't well meant intentions that win elections, it's well spent money that does the trick.
