Character
Jaap's character is marked by a certain duality; on one side he is marked with wisdom, a certain understanding of the real world that his plant mascot, the Fig Tree represents well. On the other side he can be unpredictable and highly reactive as can be imagined from his animal mascot, the Jaguar. Not easily influenced, Jaap is fairly balanced despite his dual character. He can be extravert when he opens up to the world and has a real desire to do good and communicate but he can also be turned inwards into his own well organised universe. Jaap manages a whole system of values, he is in fact the moral advisor for those around him. Jaap reacts with precision and efficiency as he has strong intuitive faculties.
Emotivity
Jaap is very emotional, so much so that his emotivity can provoke explosive situations in the family as at school or in the professional arena.
Jaap has a real sense of friendship that can reach its limits when friends are transformed into disciples. Highly inclined to questions, Jaap can easily be combative but always in an intelligent manner with a real desire to improve things. Highly affected by setbacks, Jaap can become very angry on occasion.
Activity
He is highly determined; maybe too much at times as he can become obsessed, Jaap can become tyrannical and rapidly take his desires for reality. Jaap needs to step back a little, particularly concerning situations, even more so as his desire to question himself pushes him towards constant doubt.
Far more comfortable with conception than implementation, Jaap adapts rapidly and easily as long as he is highly involved with events. He has a surprising resistance; Jaap certainly doesn't have to worry about overwork. He has a sociability that is actually quite complicated as Jaap lacks diplomacy at times; he can be too direct in his communications and often tries to over-impose his morality. With a dynamism that is close to excess, one might think that Jaap has too much. Highly confident in himself, he gives the impression of having a mission to accomplish.
Intellect
A very curious person, turning towards the unknown through a thirst for knowledge, Jaap wants to know everything, and at any price; he actually has an analytical intelligence that enables him to see everything in great detail.
Affection
Jaap is very sensitive to all emotional events, whether good or bad, even more so as he possesses a real emotive memory.
Possessive, though more as a means to draw closer, to help, than to actually possess, Jaap likes to protect those he considers as weaker.
Sensoriality
Jaap needs a crystal clear image of things as he has a demanding sensoriality and strong sexuality. Only moral reasoning can enable him to dominate these characteristics.
In conclusion
An impassioned personality who it is hard to keep up with, Jaap knows his true worth and will do whatever necessary to reach his goal.
