Introduction
They have the feeling that they can do things on their own, needing no one. They have an enthusiastic, overpowering quality, thinking they are free and independent. On the other hand they still want to be in relationships. So they have the tendency to dominate the other or keep closed about their own inner state. They think that it is better to keep closed about their internal world to be able to stay free and not influenced by others. When others do not know their thoughts, emotions and motivatiosn they cannot be influenced.
