Leslie Howard
mental interests and abilities

Outspoken and direct, he is always eager to express his ideas and opinions and does not mind opposing the consensus and stirring up a little controversy. Leslie has fresh, original ideas and a great deal of enthusiasm for anything new and untried, but once the novelty has worn off, he is interested in another new idea or project. Leslie Howard never seems to have enough time to do everything he wants. He is very honest, speaks decisively and convincingly about things he believes in, and is unable to pretend to agree with someone if he honestly does not. He may be somewhat lacking in tact.

Leslie Howard thinks a great deal about his career, his reputation and public image, and the way he makes a contribution or impact on the world at large. Public speaking or some other form of communication is likely to be an important aspect of Leslie Howard's work.

Leslie's emotions and logic are often out of sync. What Leslie Howard feels or subconsciously wants or believes is quite different from his conscious thoughts. Thus he may have trouble becoming clear about a given situation or making up his mind. Leslie Howard functions best when he takes the time to reflect, brood and incubate his ideas and decisions, thereby utilizing his intuition and emotions as well as his reasoning. If Leslie Howard studies his dreams and their messages he will be surprised to discover how often his true feelings about someone or something are significantly different from his conscious stance.

Putting his feelings into words does not come very easily, and Leslie Howard may feel awkward trying to articulate and communicate subjects other than those that are purely factual or intellectual in nature. However, finding an outlet through writing about or describing his feelings would be very gratifying for Howard.

Although he is perceptive and attuned to the personal, human side of any issue (as described above), Leslie Howard is also capable of considerable intellectual detachment and objectivity.

Leslie has an introverted frame of mind and tends to dissect or deeply analyze his own inner life and experiences as well as those of others.

Leslie Howard scrutinizes, analyzes, dissects and critically assesses ideas before accepting them. He may seem judgmental, serious and unreceptive to others' thoughts, particularly if they are frivolous or poorly thought out. He prefers substantial conversation to superficial, meaningless banter.

Communication problems, like extreme reticence, stuttering or difficulties with interpersonal relationships may well be challenges for him.

Howard will notice that the description below contradicts some of the statements made in the previous paragraphs. So far, Leslie Howard's thinking was depicted as careful, conservative, methodical and possibly narrow or rigid, while the following information defines his mind as quick and innovative. Both are true! Leslie Howard incorporates both ways of thinking - the inspired-inventive and the deductive-ordered. Here is a description of the more free-flowing aspect:

His mind works in a rather electric, inspired, sometimes brilliant way, and Leslie Howard grasps new concepts very readily. However, his retention may be poor, as Howard tends to leap from one idea to another in a flash, and often without thoroughly digesting any of them. His mind may race so quickly that it is hard for Leslie Howard to sit still for any length of time. Leslie has a highly sensitive nervous system and needs a relatively calm, stable environment to be at his best. Leslie Howard should avoid over stimulating, frenetic places in order to stay balanced.

Although Leslie Howard's thinking is precise and logical, as described above, at times Howard can be quite the opposite. There may very well be periods of absentmindedness, building castles in the air, or ruminating over mystical, abstract or imponderable subjects, as discussed below.

Imaginative, intuitive, and nonlinear in his thinking, Leslie Howard has a gift for writing poetry, fiction, or fantasy.
