Fyodor Dostoevsky
mental interests and abilities

Fyodor Dostoevsky 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. Dostoevsky 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 Fyodor to deal with details and particulars. Fyodor Dostoevsky has a gambling instinct and enjoys speculative enterprises and new ventures. Business, advertising and promotion would also be ideally suited to him.

Fyodor does not speak up readily, even when he has a lot to say! Also, his mind tends to drift and Dostoevsky finds it difficult to study very factual material that does not have much color or imaginative appeal. His intuition and first impressions are likely to be quite accurate, however, and Fyodor Dostoevsky tends to depend upon this faculty in making decisions.

Fyodor Dostoevsky has very little interest in or knack for the technical or mechanical. Dostoevsky's forte lies in the human, personal side of life, people, psychology and life's inner workings. Fyodor Dostoevsky understands children and enjoys conversing with, counseling, listening to and learning about them. Dostoevsky also needs a variety of social and intellectual experiences on a regular basis, and becomes restless, nervous, and irritable if he cannot get out and about. Dostoevsky often needs to be mobile, to go for a walk or a drive, to regroup and to reestablish his emotional equilibrium. Fyodor Dostoevsky tends to dwell on the past, to ponder its significance, and at times, to long for it. Nostalgia and sentimentality substantially color Fyodor's thinking.
