Perhaps the most prominent personal charac- teristic manifested by October 26 people is their compulsion to organize others. They harbor a conviction that concerted communal endeavors are more effective in achieving progress than the efforts of lone agents of change. With their ability to focus upon distant goals while at the same time addressing more immediate concerns, these are gifted leaders, whose decisiveness and dedication arouse respect (if not always affection). These are people who can be found planning local or political events and serving on committees, always involved in community affairs or blogging and campaigning in support of causes. They are admirably suited to careers as national or civic politicians, business executives, accountants or bankers.
Their desire to mold those around them applies as much to their personal relationships as to their professional lives, and they will typically do their utmost to persuade their kith and kin of the veracity of their viewpoints—a task usually undertaken with enthusiasm and logic rather than by passionate or combative means. Because they are natural pragma- tists they will accept the demurrals of those who do not share their beliefs, but will nevertheless impress their disapproval upon others. When they and those closest to them are in agreement, their endearingly affectionate and generous qualities come to the fore. To avoid becoming isolated, it is important that October 26 people remember that personal expres- sion is important and does not necessarily need to be suppressed for the common good. They should allow people around them to assert their individuality.
