Indeed, October 13 people recognize that their clear-cut visions and uncompromisingly direct methods have a tendency to shock the generally ap- athetic out of their lethargy. In many cases, however, they are naturally combative types who enjoy the cut and thrust of confrontational debate, not least because they secretly relish drawing the spotlight upon them- selves. Apart from any attention-seeking motivations, these are intellectually progressive individuals, who possess strong feelings of social responsibility. Not only are they critical types who cannot help but identi- fy perceived societal failings or injustices, but also their logical turn of mind endows them with the propensity to formulate practical strategies with which they can bring about positive advances for the benefit of others. Natural leaders, their strong communication skills suit October 13 people especially well for advertising and marketing careers, although they may equally excel as ground-breaking, if controversial, politicians.
