Wow, how did I come out extraverted? Still, it is an interesting set of questions. I couldn't attempt an answer to the question about taking emotions into account when making decisions...too vague. Looks like I'm still an idealist though...97% visionary.

Captains embody cautious, clear-minded leadership. Success-driven and with an appreciation for both grand visions and the details necessary to achieve them, Captains set goals, professional, social, personal, or otherwise, with efficient enthusiasm. Captains are able to recognize that they can’t achieve these goals alone though, and their determination and strong will helps them to draw people in, enabling them to achieve just about anything they set their minds to.
What fuels Captains’ success is the amount of attention they put into the details of their plans, avoiding those unpleasant surprises that otherwise crop up. Captains do stress themselves out, especially under pressure, and worry about their performance and potential mistakes. They push themselves hard to meet high standards. But this attitude is self-correcting – the more Captains push themselves and those around them to get things right the first time, the less likely they are to make the mistakes they fear.
This leads to some internal instability for Captains. While firmly believing in their own capacities and intelligence, Captains are all too aware of the fact that they don’t know everything. They vacillate between calm confidence and crippling self-doubt. While Captains’ emotional peaks and troughs can be significant, they average out to be people who are capable but humble, high-achieving but risk-averse, and who are usually right, but only because they put so much effort into ensuring that they really are.
This is just the internal process though. On the outside, Captains remain calm, rational, and composed, with a dash of charisma to complete the image. An understanding shoulder to cry on they are not, though. Handling their own emotions is hard enough – Captains consider others’ displays of feelings and emotional arguments unwelcome distractions or even a sign of weakness. Captains aren’t intentionally insensitive, but they believe their internal struggles are their own, and believe the same for others.
For all this, Captains are quite social. They enjoy bringing together friends and colleagues for projects and outings. Their knack for organizing people and ideas and keeping things focused from start to finish means their plans, professional and personal, usually go off without a hitch. Quick-witted and with an admittedly sharp humor, Captains can move from circle to circle and keep things interesting all evening.
Whatever their goals, Captains figure out what’s needed, how to get it, and how to use it to achieve their objectives. They keep their eyes on the prize, and understand how fine details fit into the big picture. Captains pull people together to see to those details, and hold everyone, especially themselves, to high standards. With their sharp, rational minds, Captains also recognize that, however painful their self-doubt can seem, it’s not truly a weakness – it’s exactly what’s needed to get things done right.
