I probably shouldn't toss this out here on a day that has started as wonderfully well as this one, but WTH... here's my antonym (negative traits) Nohari here, if anyone cares to respond... (wry grin).
This is just my take, and it does come from the "a weakness is often a strength taken too far"
Inflexibility-- You can be very goal-oriented. Finishing the proposal. Showing me apartments. Finding motorcycle boots. You are flexible about HOW to achieve the goal, and this is a strength in many ways. I think you find it difficult to just let go of a goal, decide to let it slide, or to abandon a project that is incomplete.
Needy-- I think other people may be seeing your unmet needs, the ones that require another person to meet them. You're unwilling to ask to have them met, because it might risk your independence. I think this is kinda paradoxical, but true-- if you could ask more from people, you'd probably end up needing *less*. (and I'm also utterly okay with you needing Les).
(nods) You're right, I'm very goal-oriented, and stubborn. Persistent, even. But IMO flexible in the different ways I might achieve some goal, almost too flexible for others' orientation or comfort. This has advantages on projects, but seems to give a funny impression socially.
"Tactically flexible and adaptable, strategically pig-headed"...
*wanting* Les, perhaps, but not *needing* Les... (grin)
