What numbers say about Johnny?

You like to insult people in order to awaken their motivation and practically ‘force' them to prove they can do something. You don't think twice before making a decision. The sky is your only limit when it comes to goals. You are not very excited when it comes to meeting new people because you expect disappointment.
