Translating his thoughts and impressions into concrete, everyday language may be difficult for Finch at times he may consequently appear less intelligent or at least less quick-witted and verbal than others. This was especially true of Jon Finch 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. Jon often forms an opinion about a person or situation without much factual knowledge of them, and his impressions are usually correct. Finch can be somewhat absent-minded and he becomes so immersed in his own thoughts that he overlooks things in his immediate, tangible environment. Jon Finch is extremely open-minded and believes that anything is possible. Intangible or spiritual forces seem just as real to Jon Finch as anything in the concrete world.
