Laurie Anderson
mental interests and abilities

She is highly interested in inner, subjective and personal issues, and her thinking is based more on feelings, intuition, personal experiences and prejudices, than on reason or logic. Intellectual abilities and accomplishments without heart or soul mean little to Laurie. She is empathic and would be an excellent counselor, for she is a sensitive listener and deeply interested in people's feelings and inner life. In addition to psychology, Laurie Anderson is drawn to education, art, poetry, music or mythology. She is not particularly confident about speaking in public, but will open up and share her thoughts in small, intimate groups. Anderson enjoys keeping a personal journal and reading the chronicles of others' lives and personal development.

Laurie Anderson thinks a great deal about her career, her reputation and public image, and the way she makes a contribution or impact on the world at large. Public speaking or communications of some other kind is likely to be an important aspect of the work Laurie Anderson does.

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

Her mind is highly imaginative and creative and she possesses dramatic, artistic or musical abilities. As a child, Laurie Anderson enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing and pretending, and probably lived in "her own little world" a good deal. She perceives things that are not obvious to other people and Laurie Anderson has an uncanny ability to "read" people and situations without being told anything about them. However, Laurie Anderson must learn to discriminate between true psychic perception and her imagination. Learning to discipline and focus her mind is necessary if Anderson wishes to use all of her creative potential. Otherwise, Laurie Anderson could be simply a dreamer.

Communication with others is difficult for Laurie Anderson because she often finds words frustrating and inadequate to express her experiences and perceptions. Also, Laurie may purposefully mystify or deceive others.

Laurie Anderson forms her own conclusion about things and may have some difficulty in exchanging her thoughts and ideas with others, although they regard her ideas as having a good foundation. Most of her conversations tend to have a serious overtone.

She is likely to concentrate on herself a lot and tends to have melancholic thoughts, at times even brooding over something. Preferring to be alone, Laurie Anderson always makes sure to have her own space. Very self-reliant, she has a need to work by herself.
