What Kind of Thinker Are You?

---

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."--Tom Waits

[martin_fierro]

Me:

You are a Spatial Thinker
You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker
You are an Interpersonal Thinker

[Southack]

		Logical-Mathematical thinkers: Like to understand patterns and relationships between objects or actions Try to understand the world in terms of causes and effects Are good at thinking critically, and solving problems creatively
Like Logical-Mathematical thinkers, Leonardo based his theories on evidence rather than speculation.		Other Logical-Mathematical Thinkers include Isaac Newton, Archimedes, Albert Einstein Careers which suit Logical-Mathematical thinkers include Physicist, Chemist, Biologist, Lawyer, Computer programmer, Engineer, Inventor

[KangarooJacqui]

Damn, beat me to it! LOL

[garandgal]

Gosh, I feel cheated. It seems some of you got more than one answer. Me...logical/mathematical.

Took a very extensive I.Q. & personality test as a reference example for my boss a few years ago. It came back with the bizarre finding that I should either be in sales, or a research scientist. Since I'm in sales by day, I guess I should fire up the science lab in the basement...LOL.

[Reagan is King]

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker
You are an Interpersonal Thinker

Those are the two I thought sounded most like me before I took the test so I guess I was right!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Perhaps my tinfoil hat has been worn too much lately.

I started to take the quiz, but decided that it asked too many detailed questions that can be stored in cookies for future information.

[stands2reason]

You are a Musical Thinker
  Musical thinkers:

* Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies
* Are sensitive to the sounds and rhythms of words as well as their meanings.
* Feel a strong connection between music and emotions

I guess...

How'd you get two?

[swilhelm73]

They just both came up. Looks like others have gotten multiple ones too...

[Tax Government]

Interpersonal thinker.

[Lijahsbubbe]

You are a paranoid thinker. ;)

[Tax Government]

They asked about getting lost in a book, but not about watching the web for many hours.

[DB]

"You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker"

[TLI]

Interesting, but not enough choices.

Naturalist Thinkers:

* Like to understand the natural world, and the living beings that inhabit it
* have an aptitude for communicating with animals
* You try to understand patterns of life and natural forces

No wonder I took to the patrol dogs in the company and it doesn't say a thing about the magic I work on computers. Unless there is more to computers than we know...

[bayourod]

it called me a neo-con maroon.

[Skywalk]

Existential "The Renaissance Ideal"

I think it's because in addition to contemplation and reflection on the "big questions" I also enjoy science and learning about the principles and 'facts' that capture the natural world.

[truth_seeker]

truth_seeker is:

"Interpersonal Thinker"

(not entirely consistent with other similar tests and profiles, in which truth_seeker is always classified as a nearly equal balance of math/logic and relationships--the equal balance being quite rare)

[Fiddlstix]

I got:

I am a Naturalist Thinker:

(Careers which suit Naturalist thinkers include Biologist, Meteorologist, Forester, Farmer, Astronomer, Alternative therapist)

Spot On! I was born and raised on a Ranch and I'm still on the ranch.
My family has been in the farming and ranching business for generations.

[dagny taggert]

You are a Naturalist Thinker

I've been obsessing about Myers-Briggs lately and am almost convinced I am an INFJ. (fwiw)

[dandelion]

THEY are on to you!!

Mine said "Renaissance Ideal". But I don't find it on the Thinking types page - phooey. For all I know, the "Renaissance Ideal" is a chubby redheaded chick in dire straits...

ArGgHHHH! THEY **ARE** ON TO US!!!

[dagny taggert]

I teach math at a 2-year college, not on the list.

[swilhelm73]

I find personally that since finding the web, I am far less likely to read a book and far more likely to read the same sorts of information online.

The internet really is in someways the logical existention of a personal library. And unlike a realitively static library, one can get the most up to date information on any topic imaginable.

[arasina]

I got the Musical Thinker as well. I don't know if I consider that to be an accurate description for me though.

[dagny taggert]

Computers = Patterns of life?

[gonzo]

Couldn't make it past the first page.............FRegards

[Lijahsbubbe]

LOL. Mine did too!

[pops88]

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker

I love it. And I'm a woman. It's the map reading, no doubt. If I only had a gps, I'd be geo-caching. Should I post my geek code? No, that'd be too revealing. LOL!

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Interpersonal thinkers:
Like to think about other people, and try to understand them
Recognise differences between individuals and appreciate that different people have different perspectives
Make an effort to cultivate effective relationships with family, friends and colleagues

Like interpersonal thinkers, Leonardo had lots of friends and contacts, and was a popular figure at the Italian court. Other Interpersonal thinkers include
Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, William Shakespeare

Careers which suit Interpersonal thinkers include
Politician, Psychologist, Nurse, Counsellor, Teacher

You are a Naturalist Thinker
Naturalist Thinkers:
Like to understand the natural world, and the living beings that inhabit it
have an aptitude for communicating with animals
You try to understand patterns of life and natural forces

Like other Naturalist thinkers, Leonardo longed to spend time in the countryside. He spent hours watching birds to understand how they flew. Other Naturalist thinkers include
Charles Darwin, Jane Goodall, Johnny Morris, David Attenborough

Careers which suit Naturalist thinkers include
Biologist, Meteorologist, Forester, Farmer, Astronomer, Alternative therapist

Great point.The same holds true for me. Did you ever realize the volume of what you read on line is much greater? Sometimes I will print out an article to share, and I am amazed at how many pages there are. (and for the smarties out there, no, it's not large font!)

[Billthedrill]

"You are a sick twist who ought to be under close professional supervision. Please turn yourself into the local authorities immediately."

Dang it, I hate ambiguity - was this supposed to be positive or negative?

[pops88]

I lose myself in the Gutenberg Project.

Man, I'm boring :)

[hosepipe]

Well upon "thinking" about the result its kinda accurate in a vague kind of way..

You are a Naturalist Thinker.. Naturalist Thinkers:

[sully777]

Noticed your profile and thought you'd like this: Goodday, Bruce! Oh, Hello Bruce! How are you Bruce? A bit crooked, Bruce. Where's Bruce? He's not 'ere, Bruce. Blimey, it's hot in here, Bruce. Hot as a monkey's bum! That's a strange expression, Bruce. Well Bruce, I heard the Prime Minister use it. "It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in here, your Majesty," he said and she smiled quietly to herself. She's a good Sheila, Bruce, and not at all stuck up. Here! Here's the boss-fellow now! 'Ow are you, Bruce? Goodnight Bruce! Bruce. Hello Bruce. Bruce. How are you, Bruce? Goodnight Bruce. Gentleman, I'd like to introduce man from Pommey Land who is joinin' us this year in the philosophy department at the University of Wallamalloo. (Everyone) Goodnight! Hello. Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Is your name not Bruce? No, it's Michael. That's going to cause a little confusion. Mind if we call you "Bruce" to keep it clear? Gentlemen, I think we better start the faculty meeting, before we start, though, I'd like to ask the padre for a prayer. Oh Lord, we beseech Thee, Amen!! Amen! Crack a tube! (Bottles opening) Now I call upon Bruce to officially welcome Mr. Baldwin to the philosophy faculty. I'd like to welcome the pommey bastard to God's own Earth! And remind him that we don't like stuck-up sticky-beaks here. (Everyone) Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce! Bruce here teaches classical philosophy, Bruce there teaches Haegelian philosophy, and Bruce here teaches logical positivism. And is also in charge of the sheep dip. What's New-Bruce going to teach? New Bruce will be teaching political science, Machiavelli, Benton, Lockholm, Sackly, Millbo, Hasset, and Bernerd. Those are all cricketers! Aww, spit! Hails of derisive laughter, Bruce! (Everyone) 'Straylya, 'Straylia, 'Straylia, 'Straylya, we love you! Amen!! Another tube! (Bottles opening) Any questions? New-Bruce, are you a Pooftah? Are you a Pooftah? No! No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules: Rule One! (Everyone) No Pooftahs! Rule Two, no member of the faculty is to mal-treat the others in any way at all.. if there's anybody watching. Rule Three? (Everyone) No Pooftahs!! Rule Four, now this term, I don't want to catch anybody... not drinking. Rule Five, (Everyone) No Pooftahs! Rule Six, there is NO.... Rule Six. Rule Seven, (Everyone) No Pooftahs!! Right, that concludes the readin' of the rules, Bruce. This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand. Amen! Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable. Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table. David Hume could out-consume Schoppenhauer and Hegel. And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed. John Stewart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shanty was particularly ill. Plato they say could stick it away, Half a crate of whiskey every day. Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, And Hoppes was fond of his dram. And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart. "I drink, therefore I am." Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

[gonzo]

*Musical Thinker*

Me too, but I've been an engineer all my life.

Oops - It musta been those years I was playin' R&R in saloons! Wait-a-sec... I still do, for fun...............FRegards

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Personally, I think it made too much of my love of natural beauty and gardening and not enough of my equal fascination with most things science. Also, it shows nothing of my creativity...Art is my love and my life. It isn't even mentioned.

[Finny]

I got that I was a linguistic thinker, and then musical thinker. Wow -- spot on -- am a writer by trade, have written since I was an itty kid, and though am not a disciplined (anymore) musician, at one time used to happily practice piano two-plus hours per day. Also started playing violin at age seven. Music affects me deeply.

Interesting to see that so many folks on this board are logical thinkers! Cool.

[pops88]

Well, it's obvious it's pulp science and grossly inaccurate. My husband came up "interpersonal thinker." I can attest that he isn't. LOL. But such a nice diversion.

[Finny]

Naturalist Thinkers: * Like to understand the natural world, and the living beings that inhabit it * have an aptitude for communicating with animals * You try to understand patterns of life and natural forces No wonder I took to the patrol dogs in the company and it doesn't say a thing about the magic I work on computers. Unless there is more to computers than we know... I think there is more to computers than we suspect. I think that there is "life" in all things, and that as we were made in the image of God, computers are made in the image of us ... I compute, therefore I am. Call me nuts, but I believe in "talking" to electronical and mechanical things like computers and cars. I think it works!!! Some kind of energy flow, maybe. I know, I'm weird ... But TLI, I seriously think you've got something there.

[Aracelis]

Naturalist Thinker - which indeed fits.

[I_dmc]

Same here. Was wondering the same thing about those who got more than one result.

[Psycho_Bunny]

You are a Musical Thinker
		Musical thinkers: Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies Are sensitive to the sounds and rhythms of words as well as their meanings. Feel a strong connection between music and emotions
Like many musical thinkers, Leonardo loved to sing, and had a fine voice		Other Musical Thinkers include Mozart, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix Careers which suit Musical Thinkers include Musician, Music teacher, Sound engineer, Recording technician

 

Hm.....I can't say I'm all that fond of sharing much more than "breathing" with John Lennon.

[I_dmc]

I have to wonder if watching my learn guitar dvd for the first time today had anything to do with results. Have always wanted to play something. When young, I used to make up songs in my head on the long ride to school and back. Interesting quiz.

[not_apathetic_anymore]

I'm a Spatial thinker.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Hey Martin, how come you gots three?

I feel inferior, somehow..

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker
You are an Interpersonal Thinker

Of course, I gots two, which is more than some.

[I_dmc]

Another interesting data point. I attended college for a career in broadcasting, wanted to be a technical engineer (the guys who get to play with all the knobs and sliders). I wound up in computers.

[sully777]

Renaissance-existentialist! Who knew?

[Centurion2000]

You are a Spatial Thinker
You are an Existential Thinker

Uhm ... ok
