Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Isaac Asimov" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Isaac a little better.

Isaac Asimov is always questioning and learning, and he seems young and alive no matter what his chronological age, for his mind is always alert, curious, flexible, and open to new experiences. Isaac Asimov has a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and he learns easily, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Asimov can be somewhat of a scatterbrain, for he tends to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. He needs and craves variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life.

Articulate, clever, often funny and witty, he is always a refreshing and interesting conversationalist. Isaac Asimov enjoys meeting and interacting with a variety of different people. He is friendly, flirtatious, and charming in a playful way, and no matter how badly he may be feeling, Isaac never comes across as melancholic or somber. He may seem frivolous to other, more serious souls. Isaac Asimov has a sense of humor and a sense of perspective that prevent him from taking himself or life too seriously. In fact, Asimov may seem flippant or unconcerned about matters that others consider very important.

In general, Isaac Asimov responds to life mentally and objectively rather than emotionally, and he may not empathize with people very much. Isaac does not like to be weighed down with too much responsibility or with others' emotional burdens. Furthermore, if he cannot fully grasp something with his reason and logic, Asimov will often choose to ignore it, including his own and other people's irrational feelings, desires, and needs.

Consistency and reliability are not great virtues of Asimov's and his life is apt to be full of changes and movement due to his restlessness.

His gifts are a quick mind, verbal facility, a flair for language, social sophistication and polish, the ability to communicate, converse, and build bridges between people and between ideas.
