How did it know that I haven't showered yet?

[RadioAstronomer]

How did it know that I haven't showered yet?

It saw you thru your computer screen. hehe!

BTW, true story. I had a Great Aunt who refused to have a TV in her house because she did not want the people on the TV watching her undress.

[Focault's Pendulum]

You are a Linguistic Thinker

Linguistic thinkers:

* Tend to think in words, and like to use language to express complex ideas.

* Are sensitive to the sounds and rhythms of words as well as their meanings.

Hmmmm.

[pax_et_bonum]

Maybe she could have changed in the other room.

[cyborg]

hehehe

[js1138]

Spatial Thinkers:

Sounds good. My kids are in architure and building. My favorite hobby is photography. I fix everything I don't destroy.

This might explain why I enjoy art and philosophy but never got along with teachers in those subjects.

[js1138]

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker,p>Well duh.

[cyborg]

existential thinker

[RadioAstronomer]

Nope! She never wanted one of the "infernal" machines in her house. LOL!

[js1138]

INTJ is how it came out.

I took it twice. INTP prior to 911. INFP immediately after 911. In both cases the F/T score hovered around the middle.

[ThePythonicCow]

Not too surprising, for anyone that nows me - a long time computer nerd:

Logical-Mathematical Thinkers
		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

[TheMom]

Im a shoot-from-the-hip, card-carrying cynic.

[wimpycat]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker
You are a Naturalist Thinker
You are an Existential Thinker

What? They can't make up their minds? :)

Pretty close.

[pax_et_bonum]

Well, she may have had a valid point about the capacity of machines to be "infernal."

Not only is my microwave of a spiteful nature, it's in collusion with my stove.

My family always knows that I'm cooking when the house is full of smoke.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Renaissance ideal/Existential Thinker

Blush. Nice company to be in. What kind of writing are you doing?

[humblegunner]

I'm a spatula thinker, too!

Spatial Thinkers:

* Tend to think in pictures, and can develop good mental models of the physical world, usually with beer.
* Think well in three dimensions, usually with beer.
* Have a flair for working with objects like guns. And beer.

[NeonKnight]

I got..."you are a beer drinker"

[pax_et_bonum]

LOL!

[Betis70]

Apparently I'm the first to get Kinaesthetic thinker, or maybe just the first to admit it. I dunno being compared to David Beckham is pretty insulting. That guy is a dumb as a box of rocks, off the soccer pitch that is.

I figured I'd come up as a Spatial Thinker since that is what I excel at. Maybe I should stop watching American Chopper, American Hot Rod, and The New Yankee Workshop--either that or switch careers from my computer programming gig.

I'm qualified to be an actor (apparently). Yikes.

Kinaesthetic thinkers:

* Think in movements.
* Like to use their bodies in skilful and expressive ways
* Have an aptitude for working with your hands

Leonardo spent much of his life studying the human body to find our how it moved

Other Kinaesthetic Thinkers include
Houdini, Rudolph Nureyev, David Beckham

Careers which suit Kinaesthetic Thinkers include
Sportsperson, Craftsperson, Surgeon, Actor, Dancer, Coach, Physiotherapist

[js1138]

My Ntuitive guess is that FPs are unusual among conservatives.

[Nataku X]

Spatial thinker--no big surprise. My Keirsey personality is INFP.

Liked the way this test didn't force you into only one category, judging from how other Freepers got more than one answer. Wonder if anybody got a no-category answer.

[PoorMuttly]

Hey...

..I'm a "Typing Dog !"

(I could have told them that)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'm an "Interpersonal Thinker".......... lol

[GretchenM]

I'm a Linguistic / Interpersonal thinker.

The test painted me very accurately.

Note they flatter the test taker by throwing around names such as da Vinci, Shakespeare, and Churchill, with the implications that follow. LOL

Thanks for the post. The test / results were fun.

[Treeless Branch]

That is what I got too.
And then there is no description of it.
We got gypped.

[Nataku X]

I don't think so. It might seem so on the surface, but at a deeper level a truly caring FP person is aware that tough problems require tough solutions.

Liberals claim to be more compassionaite but their definition of "compassion" is throwing money at all kinds of social ills and letting the mentally ill loose on the streets. That's not compassion. A huge part of compassion is demanding accountability--which conservatives excel at.

[js1138]

Maybe, but when I encounter TJs on FR it's FUBAR, IMHO.

;^)

[Ichneumon]

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker

Logical-Mathematical thinkers:

Like to understand patterns and relationships between objects or actions
Try to understand the world in terms of causes and effects

Bingo.

[farmfriend]

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker

Oh big surprise there!!! LOL!

[TheMom]

I am, once again, a homeowner in Texas!

YEAH!!!! Where did ya'll land?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

[TheMom]

Hey! You can now become an official HAT member. Yahoo!

Are you & the hubby coming to the JimRob get together next Saturday?

[kAcknor]

Mechanic, Photographer, Artist, Architect, Engineer, Builder, Set designer

I said scary because I've been a mechanic most of my life. Photography was a hobby for many years. I now do computers and networking and have always associated well with Engineers.

[HitmanLV]

I am a 'Lamebrain.' That actually corroborates what my parents have been saying for years...

Actually it says I am an Intrapersonal thinker - I spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to understand myself, I reflect on my thoughts and moods, and work to improve them, and I understand how my behaviour affects your relationships with others.

Sounds bogus to me...

[CharacterCounts]

Just for kicks, I answered every question with the most negative answer possible. The results for these answers listed every type of thinker on the list.

The correct answer would have the opposite effect and indicated a non-thinker.

[mikegi]

I got:

---

You are a Slow Thinker

Other Slow Thinkers include:
Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw

Careers which suit Slow Thinkers include:
Janitorial Engineer, Sanitation Engineer, Democratic congressman

I only got 'The Rennaissance Ideal'.

[CharacterCounts]

Sounds bogus to me...

You mean a hitman doesn't spend a lot of time reflecting on how his behavior affects his relationships with others.

[ChefKeith]

My result:

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

[RightWingAtheist]

Mine was pretty spot-on as well. I got "linguistic thinker," "interpersonal thinker", and "existential thinker" appropriate for someone in a communication and rhetoric program who is probably going to do something related to cognitive psychology for his thesis. I'm also a "rennaissance ideal," for what it's worth.

[MarMema]

try this out for fun. I am an interpersonal and naturalist thinker. Pretty accurate, I think.

[MarMema]

Come try this out for fun. Let me know what you get. My results were naturalist and interpersonal.

[HitmanLV]

Nah, not in the least. I am a pretty self absorbed guy. ;-)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

No we won't be in Texas then....... sorry to miss it though!

[WestCoastGal]

OK I did it..................sounds kind of boring.

Spatial Thinkers:
Tend to think in pictures, and can develop good mental models of the physical world.
Think well in three dimensions
Have a flair for working with objects

Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Careers which suit Spatial Thinkers include
Mechanic, Photographer, Artist, Architect, Engineer, Builder, Set designer

[Exit148]

"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!"

I could have written what you did!! LOL! I didn't have to even think about the 'map' question!! I get lost in them!! When we sailed, I had to have my own chart and it was always in my hand. I thought it was just having control on just where I was, but I love looking at Atlases, too.

I also scored on the Interpersonal.

I looked at the professions and would love to take the test over so as to score high on those jobs I would LOVE to have!
