Andrei Sakharov
mental interests and abilities

Andrei has an extremely active, lively and versatile mind with a multitude of interests and an inexhaustible curiosity about life. He is quick to grasp new concepts and equally quick to lose interest in an idea or project once his curiosity has been satisfied. Andrei likes to taste a little bit of everything - concentration and disciplined study are not his strong points. Mentally restless, he may change jobs or locations frequently, or do work that involves movement, travel and variety.

Andrei Sakharov has a flair for language, playing with words, speaking, writing or teaching in an entertaining and informative way. He also enjoys meeting new people, conversing and learning a little bit about them, and works well with the public.

Sales, advertising, communications, journalism or public relations are good areas for Sakharov. His ability to be articulate and communicate well is one of his greatest strengths.

Andrei Sakharov has a sharp mind and a sharp tongue as well, and he loves a vigorous discussion or debate. He expresses his thoughts in a clear, decisive, convincing style.

Andrei Sakharov can be an effective spokesperson, lawyer or salesman. He has an aptitude for writing as well, particularly criticism or satire. Sakharov enjoys mental challenges and mental work.

Andrei Sakharov has an abundance of ideas, interests, and plans for the future, and may find it difficult to focus on any single area. He is not a specialist for he seeks a broad overview; he wants a glance of the whole picture rather than a close scrutiny of its components. Philosophy, religion or other areas of theoretical speculation interest him.

He also possesses foresight, numerous enterprising ideas and a gambling instinct - all of which contribute to his success in the business world. However, Sakharov's optimism and grand vision can also get him into trouble. Andrei Sakharov sometimes promises more than he can deliver, glosses over important details that come back to haunt him later, and overestimates the potential of an idea or product.

Traveling is a great love of Sakharov's, especially if there is a mind-expanding or educational aspect involved, and Andrei Sakharov may travel extensively in his work. Consulting or education would be ideal fields for him.

He is an original thinker, capable of unique discoveries and innovations, but he tends to scatter his energies in too many directions at once and to make impulsive or hasty decisions. Andrei Sakharov grasps ideas very quickly and becomes impatient with duller or more conservative minds. A fast-moving, mentally stimulating, and unpredictable atmosphere suits Andrei quite well, even though he may complain about the stress and the crazy pace. Andrei Sakharov has a technical bent and is interested in the newest scientific theories and findings, electronics, computers, etc.

Even though Sakharov can be a decisive and convincing speaker (as indicated earlier), he also has a highly imaginative and intuitive mind. This combination offers a number of possibilities: Andrei could accurately articulate the images and fantasies he has, he could forcefully convince others of his own brand of idealism (or illusion!), or Andrei Sakharov may alternate from being very clear and direct to being rather evasive or poetic. The following describes the more fluid, non-rational aspect of Sakharov's thinking.

Imaginative, intuitive, and nonlinear in his thinking, Andrei Sakharov has a gift for writing poetry, fiction, or fantasy. Andrei also has a natural openness to the spiritual, intangible side of life and could write or speak on these subjects. An innate clairvoyant tendency could also be developed quite easily by him.

Andrei Sakharov has a great deal of nervous energy and he is likely to feel a strong sense of uneasiness. Others can expect to be hit back hard when they provoke him. Sakharov is able to make changes if necessary, but in general he is somewhat reluctant to take chances.
