It is most likely that others see you as a self-assured, successful person, meriting their respect.

Nevertheless your personal quest is to self-validate their evaluation. Perhaps you don’t quite fit the description of a true perfectionist, however you do focus overmuch on what you feel are your short-comings. Therefore; while it won’t be Mt. Everest you decide to climb, you do purposely erect obstacles on your path and will yourself to courageously overcome them. To avoid being asked for explanations as to the why of what you do, you initiate an aggressive movement rather than take a defensive stance. Also a bit insecure about your methods, in reality this aggressive indicant is your way of kicking yourself into gear.

You also have a restless inner need to find the answers to hypotheses provoked by your ever questioning mind and yet on the whole the knowledge you gather is meant to serve practical purposes only. Achievement oriented you want to accomplish every goal you set your sights on. You also like to be considered to be an indispensable factor in the lives of those you touch and take responsibility for your actions. Therefore should you inadvertently give offense, or do a person wrong, no stone will be left unturned until it has been righted.
