Character
Highly active and dynamic, very restless, Anaxagoras is a straight man, a messenger.
Anaxagoras has a dual personality that is difficult to manage; capable of great happiness as well as angry episodes as is confirmed by his plant mascot, the nettle. An extravert, Anaxagoras actively participates in life outside and this is what marks his fulfilment.
Anaxagoras needs to feel useful and becomes involved in everything through advising others.
He can be influenced, his major weakness is pride and his desire to be noticed and approved of is a major driving force. His morality is somewhat vague, so much so that Anaxagoras's egocentricity causes him to see things in his own way.
His faith, beliefs and values can be eclipsed and subject to circumstances.
Emotivity
Susceptible, very skittish and highly emotive, Anaxagoras flees even before he has fully understood the situation.
His friendship is not always stable either; his egocentric tendency makes friendship difficult and he needs a lot of patience and understanding from those around him. This reactivity tempers the explosive combination of will/emotivity and gentles Anaxagoras's character. Susceptible and sensitive to setbacks, Anaxagoras rebels if he is treated like everyone else and for him this is cause for an emotional retreat.
Activity
Anaxagoras has a strong resolve, efficiently supported by great emotivity and remarkable activity that make him someone who can be a little invasive at times. His vitality can be excellent but may be affected by occasional ills mainly with a psychosomatic origin. Anaxagoras is very sociable but like many of his personality traits, it can be excessive. His sociability borders on tyranny at times and Anaxagoras doesn't hesitate to use his powers of seduction to achieve his ends. An excessive dynamism pushes Anaxagoras to make a scene, to be extravagant even when it risks displeasing or upsetting those around him.
Totally subjective, Anaxagoras sees life only through his eyes; if he is unfair at times he is sure that he is right.
One could say that Anaxagoras is highly self-confident and timidity holds no place in his character.
Intellect
Both superficial and analytical, Anaxagoras's intelligence is surprising due to the rapidity of his understanding and startling in the manner that Anaxagoras can go from the general to the particular, the global to the individual.
However, this powerful intelligence can cause Anaxagoras to reflect intensely, turn in circles and even lose his spontaneity.
Affection
Sensoriality
His sensorality is generally complex as Anaxagoras is indecisive and this feminine aspect is more significant in him than in others.
