Modest Mussorgsky
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. Modest 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. Modest Mussorgsky 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.

Modest Mussorgsky uses his mind to organize, classify and bring order to his environment. He is interested in refining his technical skills and abilities and is a stickler for details. Mussorgsky is highly likely to be engaged in organizational skills, training others in his area of expertise, or work involving teaching and communications.

Modest Mussorgsky possesses excellent powers of concentration and enjoys studying or deep thinking in solitude. Discriminating and highly rational, Mussorgsky gets right down to the bare bones in any discussion and is quick to see the fuzzy thinking or weaknesses in another's logic. He is well-suited to any work that requires organized thinking, precision and a methodical approach. He enjoys working on problems that others consider too tedious, repetitive or technical. Modest Mussorgsky tends to become a specialist in a given field of knowledge and to become engrossed in all of the small details involved, sometimes unaware that only few people share his particular interest, especially to the extent that he does.

Mussorgsky knows what he wants to accomplish and has a tendency to strive toward a superior intellect. He is prudent and a convincing speaker with the ability to influence others. But Modest Mussorgsky pushes himself tirelessly and tends to overstrain his nerves.
