Lucille Ball
mental interests and abilities

She is an exacting perfectionist with a clear, logical, analytical mind and an aptitude for work that requires meticulous attention to detail and efficient organization. Well-grounded and pragmatic, Ball tends to develop specialized skills and technical expertise in some practical field. Knowledge, ideas, and theories do not really interest Lucille Ball unless they are useful in a tangible way. She is inclined to analyze, measure, and dissect everything and to miss nuances, subtle shades of feeling and meaning. Her strengths are in her precise thinking, careful craftsmanship, and mastery of technical skills. Lucille Ball tends to be very good at what she does and critical of others' work if it does not meet her high standards.

The mysterious and the unknown fascinate Lucille Ball and she may investigate the supernatural or something that is hidden or taboo. Ball needs to know what is going on behind the scenes. She is also deeply curious about or astute about economic, political, or social power, big business, and the motives and powers behind the social facade.

Lucille Ball would be an excellent teacher or counselor for she listens sympathetically, and encourages others to express their inner thoughts and feelings. People trust and confide in Lucille, and she is able to read between the lines and to sense what their feelings are as well as what they are saying. Ball works well with and understand women, and the emotional, feminine side of life. She is articulate on personal subjects (rather than factual or technical). Keeping a diary or journal would be satisfying for Ball. Lucille Ball also has a talent for learning languages.

Her desire to make a point overrides sometimes her receptivity to others' views. She can be a good listener but often it is hard for Lucille Ball not to speak out.

She speaks clearly, decisively, and convincingly, and thoroughly enjoys a vigorous discussion or debate. Lucille Ball would be an effective lawyer or public speaker, a salesman of ideas. Others tend to listen to Ball and follow her lead, and she has a talent for directing people and making decisions. Lucille Ball also has an aptitude for writing, especially criticism or satire.

She is mentally restless, intellectually thirsty, and immensely curious. Lucille Ball may study and travel widely in order to satisfy these urges and she is even happier if she shares her journeys with companions. Lucille's gifts lie in her capacity for learning about the beliefs of a broad spectrum of people, making long-distance connections, opening up channels of communication and understanding, bringing people together from foreign lands, and promoting social and cultural exchange.

She is impatient, a bit nervous and easily irritated. Although she is sensitive to criticism, Ball can also be insensitive to the feelings of others. Lucille Ball must consciously cultivate self-control in order to handle her somewhat quick temper.

Her way of thinking is greatly influenced by the conditions in her environment. In general, Lucille Ball prefers to be alone and away from the stress in her surroundings, for her daily contact with others always seems to bring some kind of trouble in one way or another.

Although she is very perceptive and intuitive, she does not trust herself and a bit insecure, Ball tends to accept other people's influence in her thinking. Lucille Ball seems to take on the feelings of those in her relationships and should surround herself with positive companions.
