Dennis Quaid
mental interests and abilities

He is more of a poet than a rational scientist, for his mind does not function in a strictly logical, linear fashion. The language of music, art or poetry comes naturally to Dennis Quaid, and he is also able to think in highly abstract and symbolic terms. Translating his thoughts and impressions into concrete, everyday language may be difficult for Quaid at times he may consequently appear less intelligent or at least less quick-witted and verbal than others. This was especially true of Dennis Quaid as a child, and he probably daydreamed a good deal as well. He is intuitive and able to sense the thoughts and feelings of others even before they say anything to him. Dennis often forms an opinion about a person or situation without much factual knowledge of them, and his impressions are usually correct. Quaid can be somewhat absent-minded and he becomes so immersed in his own thoughts that he overlooks things in his immediate, tangible environment. Dennis Quaid is extremely open-minded and believes that anything is possible. Intangible or spiritual forces seem just as real to Dennis Quaid as anything in the concrete world. His imagination and sympathetic understanding of other people are two of his greatest gifts.

Dennis has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and wisdom and for an ever broadening understanding of life. Dennis Quaid is the perpetual student and will be involved in higher education, philosophy, or religion. Law, broadcasting, publishing, or fields of communications are also areas that interest Quaid. World travel and studying other cultures are also strong urges of his.

Argumentative and rather aggressive and critical in discussions, Quaid tends to turn any conversation into a debate, and sometimes a verbal war. Dennis Quaid could be a spokesman for a righteous cause, a lawyer vigorously defending a client, a sharp analyst or critic. He is a convincing speaker, but is not especially receptive to the ideas and opinions of others. Dennis Quaid has a forceful intellect and an aptitude for mental work.

Dennis Quaid 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, Quaid's optimism and grand vision can also get him into trouble. Dennis Quaid 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 Quaid's, especially if there is a mind-expanding or educational aspect involved, and Dennis Quaid may travel extensively in his work. Consulting or education would be ideal fields for him.

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

Vague, confused thinking which can lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings can be a problem for Dennis Quaid, and he has to work at being as clear, honest and unambiguous in his dealings with others as he possibly can. Dennis tends, also, to "go off the deep end" regarding spiritual philosophies, imaginative ideas, or theoretical speculation which may or may not have any real relevance or validity. Dennis Quaid should try to critically test out his ideas, or seek out a person whose judgment and character he respects, to use as a sounding board.

Dennis Quaid has a probing, penetrating mind and in his view, nothing is as simple, innocent, or straightforward as it appears. He may not totally understand the hidden undercurrents he perceives, the secret machinations, the dark underside of a person or situation - but it intrigues Dennis and sometimes he cannot stop thinking about it. Once Quaid's interest has been piqued, he can become obsessed with getting to the bottom of the matter. At times Dennis Quaid makes more of something than is actually the case, like assigning dark, convoluted motives to a person where none exist.

Prudent and far-sighted, Dennis Quaid has a talent for organizing and negotiating advantageous business deals. Quaid has a wealth of plans and is capable of thinking them out and putting them into action successfully. Dennis Quaid seems to have the sense to avoid any real risky ventures.

He may have to deal with considerable nervous tension and is inclined to see everything a little cloudy. Expressing what is on his mind could be hard for Dennis Quaid, and he could either intentionally or inadvertently deceive others, or vice versa.
