  • Has a major goal in life through which he is working, and many minor goals in life all of which lead toward his central scheme
  • The tone of his voice

  • The sparkle in his eyes
  • The quickness of his decisions clearly marks him as a person who knows exactly what he wants and is determined to get it. No matter how long it may take or what price he must pay.
  • If you ask him questions he gives you direct answers and never falls back on evasions or resorts to subterfuge
