Berry Gordy
mental interests and abilities

Berry Gordy possesses vision and foresight, and his mind is often occupied with big ideas, plans and goals for the future. He is interested in what is possible and what is on the horizon, rather than what has already been done. Gordy is attracted to the study of philosophy, religion, politics or education and he is more concerned with theories and concepts than with specific applications. He is not inclined to focus on any specific, concrete area; It irks Berry to deal with details and particulars. Berry Gordy has a gambling instinct and enjoys speculative enterprises and new ventures. Business, advertising and promotion would also be ideally suited to him.

Independent and freethinking, Berry Gordy dislikes being told what to do and how to do it, and he especially does not like being told how to think, for Berry insists on discovering his own truth. Berry Gordy does well in a rather unstructured environment that allows him to make his own decisions and to respond to the needs of the moment, rather than following a routine, standardized way of doing things. He is also suited to a fast-paced atmosphere, which Gordy finds exciting and stimulating. His mind functions in an intuitive, nonlinear fashion and sudden insights and flashes of inspiration often come to him "out of the blue". Berry has an aptitude for science and new technologies are of particular interest to him. Berry Gordy also has a penchant for astrology or other esoteric sciences.

Even though Gordy 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: Berry could accurately articulate the images and fantasies he has, he could forcefully convince others of his own brand of idealism (or illusion!), or Berry Gordy may alternate from being very clear and direct to being rather evasive or poetic. The following describes the more fluid, non-rational aspect of Gordy's thinking.

His mind is highly imaginative and creative and he possesses dramatic, artistic or musical abilities. As a child, Berry Gordy enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing and pretending, and probably lived in "his own little world" a good deal.

However, Berry Gordy must learn to discriminate between true psychic perception and his imagination. Learning to discipline and focus his mind is necessary if Gordy wishes to use all of his creative potential. Otherwise, Berry Gordy could be simply a dreamer.
