Dennis Etchison
mental interests and abilities

Outspoken and direct, he is always eager to express his ideas and opinions and does not mind opposing the consensus and stirring up a little controversy. Dennis has fresh, original ideas and a great deal of enthusiasm for anything new and untried, but once the novelty has worn off, he is interested in another new idea or project. Dennis Etchison never seems to have enough time to do everything he wants. He is very honest, speaks decisively and convincingly about things he believes in, and is unable to pretend to agree with someone if he honestly does not. He may be somewhat lacking in tact.

The mysterious and the unknown fascinate Dennis Etchison and he may investigate the supernatural, the hidden or the taboo. Etchison needs to know what is going on behind the scenes. He is also deeply curious or astute about economic, political, or social power, big business, and the motives and powers behind the social facade.

Dennis has a knack for establishing a rapport and communicating with people, is blessed with great interpersonal skills, and is adept at dealing with the public. Dennis Etchison communicates concern, interest, and the ability to listen, which encourages people to open up and confide in him even if they do not know Dennis well.

Although he is perceptive and attuned to the personal, human side of any issue (as described above), Dennis Etchison is also capable of considerable intellectual detachment and objectivity. Etchison combines the qualities of being subjective and intuitive with a rational, analytical approach. Dennis has an introverted frame of mind and tends to dissect or deeply analyze his own inner life and experiences as well as those of others.

Dennis Etchison has a great capacity for concentration, handling details, and learning about subjects others might find ponderous, too technical or dry.

Etchison will notice that the description below contradicts some of the statements made in the previous paragraphs. So far, Dennis Etchison's thinking was depicted as careful, conservative, methodical and possibly narrow or rigid, while the following information defines his mind as quick and innovative. Both are true! Dennis Etchison incorporates both ways of thinking - the inspired-inventive and the deductive-ordered. Here is a description of the more free-flowing aspect:

His intellectual interests tend to be offbeat or unusual. Anything "alternative", innovative, experimental, creatively inspired or new is right up Etchison's alley. Dennis Etchison may not have the patience to study these things in depth, but he has an instinctive grasp of them. The esoteric sciences like astrology, numerology, and the like are subjects Dennis could pick up quite easily.

Although Dennis Etchison's thinking is precise and logical, as described above, at times Etchison can be quite the opposite. There may very well be periods of absentmindedness, building castles in the air, or ruminating over mystical, abstract or imponderable subjects, as discussed below.

His mind is intuitive, imaginative, colorful and strongly influenced by imagery or fantasy. Etchison sees the world with the eyes of an artist or a poet, and the hard sciences, as well as fields of endeavor based on concrete facts, rules or rigorous logic, are not Etchison's forte. At times he is able to perceive things that other people cannot - e.g. the "aura" of a place or a person - while at others, Dennis Etchison apparently does not see and/or overlooks things that are blatantly obvious to others. One problem Dennis Etchison is prone to is that he projects his fantasies, wishes and dreams onto other people or external circumstances and simply fails to see what is actually at stake.

His mind is deep and penetrating and he is interested in anything secret, mysterious, or hidden, including the deeper recesses of the human psyche. Dennis Etchison possesses an aptitude for private investigation, psychology and research work. Dennis Etchison is also drawn to esoteric or occult studies.

Dennis Etchison has a tendency to ponder and reflect on his thoughts. Methodical, responsible and serious, he has a sound judgment. He is a good listener and he probably prefers to work alone. Dennis Etchison also has a good memory and may do well in history and science.
