Resourceful, passionate, intense. Scorpios are one of the more intimidating signs in the Zodiac, at least until they finally open up to you. Scorpios don't have any time or patience for mindgames, being strung along, or any superficiality from others. They are direct and not afraid to demand what they want. Scorpios also make great leaders; they don't make decisions lightly, but will use all of their resources to make a firm and confident decision. They are true to their word and are intensely dedicated to those who show themselves worthy. Scorpios are also very self-guarded; they don't like to show weakness to anyone, even less so for those they aren't close with. They have a tendency to see the worst in people first, in order to protect their own emotions. Once a Scorpio finds the people and places they are comfortable in, however, they are known to be true friends that would defend the people they love to the end.
