Tenzin sometimes lacks energy. He is fairly apathetic and passive, preferring sluggishness to movement and leniency to initiative.

Tenzin has a great deal of sang-froid. His inner calm and stolidity predispose him to tasks which require self-control and perseverance. He does not readily display his emotions, even in the most hair-raising situations.

Tenzin tries to focus on the subject at hand, but his mind wanders and he can’t seem to pay attention. However, he is always open to new information and ideas, and is more cross-disciplinary than specialist. His centers of interest are fairly widespread and varied.

Tenzin’s objectivity in perception and behavior could, in the best of cases, lead to generosity and altruism.

Tenzin often finds himself in a negative frame of mind. Undermined by his fears and his craving for security, he struggles to see the sunny side of life.

Tenzin is principally interested in tangible facts and realistic details. A pragmatic personality, Tenzin never loses sight of the utilitarian or practical aspects of things.

Although Tenzin’s thought patterns generally follow a logical or linear path, his reasoning is also open to intuitive processes which arise from obscure sources in his unconscious.

Tenzin’s mind is very perceptive of details. To arrive at a global perception, a vision of the whole, Tenzin proceeds gradually, piece by piece, aspect after aspect, in a fairly linear fashion.

Tenzin is inclined to arrange, classify, sort, catalogue, and compartmentalize, in all his life activities as well as his work.

Tenzin behaves impulsively, and is influenced by his imaginings. His openness and spontaneity give him the scope to be skillful, ingenious, or shrewd, rising to whatever the immediate circumstances require.
