mental interests and abilities

Clear, objective and realistic, she is unimpressed by exaggerated claims or promises. Elizabeth Bishop insists on being shown the facts behind any statement she hears, and her natural skepticism often borders on cynicism. Bishop approaches problems clearly and rationally and maintains her poise and objectivity even in the midst of critical situations. Anyone seeking Bishop's advice is certain to get an unemotional and unbiased assessment of their situation, and Elizabeth - therefore - makes a good arbitrator or judge. She is thorough, conscientious and disciplined in her thinking, and has an aptitude for business, organization and administration. Elizabeth Bishop is also a good strategist, and she will plan and patiently follow a realistic course which will lead to her eventual success. Serious-minded and studious, Bishop enjoys quiet time alone for thinking or reading.

The mysterious and the unknown fascinate Elizabeth Bishop and she may investigate the supernatural or something that is hidden or taboo. Bishop needs to know what is going on behind the scenes. She is also deeply curious about or astute about economic, political, or social power, big business, and the motives and powers behind the social facade.

An independent and original thinker, Elizabeth is excited by new ideas, discoveries, and innovations. Her mind functions in an intuitive, nonlinear fashion and sudden insights and ideas often come to her "out of the blue". Elizabeth Bishop grasps ideas very quickly and often becomes impatient with those who are slower or more cautious than he. More conservative minds deem her rather eccentric and unusual in her interests. Elizabeth Bishop does well in an open, unpredictable atmosphere where flexibility and quick responses are needed. Elizabeth Bishop has an aptitude for science, mathematics, electronics or astrology.

Her mind is intuitive, imaginative, colorful and strongly influenced by imagery or fantasy. Bishop 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 Bishop's forte. At times she is able to perceive things that other people cannot - e.g. the "aura" of a place or a person - while at others, Elizabeth Bishop apparently does not see and/or overlooks things that are blatantly obvious to others. One problem Elizabeth Bishop is prone to is that she projects her fantasies, wishes and dreams onto other people or external circumstances and simply fails to see what is actually at stake.

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