The consistent thread of this application was idealism. Multiple responses pointed to an approval of those with a moralistic stance of the highest standard (that being a standard that matches your own). A secondary thread was the priority of rapid thought and quick responses, especially in your strengths and in what you admire about characters and peers. There's absolutely no shyness in this application, and the vast majority of your answers point to a very strong sense of self and ego.

There are many points here where the focus is on the external. Your greatest fear is being with others, you'd prefer the tricorder to examine your surroundings and help others, and you consistently mention your need to talk, discuss, and interact with others. Your motivations are heavily slanted towards the people around you, not yourself. This could lead to Ops as a viable track, but I don't think it's best for you. Your favorite character is Picard because of his adherence to morals and his quick thought - and his ability to talk Q around. Your preference for TNG is because of ethics and dilemmas displayed and solved, and you have no patience for anything less than full honesty and forthrightness. I couldn't put you anywhere but Tactics.

Hm, hadn't really thought about it, but you're right -- I am highly motivated by the people around me.

And my mom would tell that my sense of self is a bit too strong at times ;-)

Thanks for the sort -- I actually really admire how concisely you've boiled my app down in a really accurate analysis -- I don't see a lot of people who can do that so well :)
