What kind of Thinker are you


<<  1    2    3  >>

Topic started on 22-6-2009 @ 06:37 AM by johnb


Did the OCD one 0 and 0 then found this one
www.bbc.co.uk...

i seem to be quite a mix

Logical Mathematical thinker and Interpersonal and Naturalist and Existential

I was expecting 1 answer not 4 although in other ways I am not surprised as I never seem to fit a particular mould.

No wonder I can struggle with day to day reality!

I can't say that this test was wrong but almost dead on I am a drug and alcohol counselor and I love to help others haha, so yeah pretty good stuff.

Thanks for posting it was fun but one thing to remember is that not everyone is at the level of "self awareness" or can see themselves the exact opposite as what they are which can lead to a wrong result.

Although I think lots of tests are silly, I really liked this one, thank you for posting it.

My outcome was:

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

Other Spatial Thinkers include
Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Isambard Kingdom Brunel

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

Existential thinkers:

* Like to spend time thinking about philosophical issues such as "What is the meaning of life?"
* Try to see beyond the 'here and now', and understand deeper meanings
* consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutions

Other Existential Thinkers include
The Buddha, Gandhi, Plato, Socrates, Martin Luther King

Careers which suit Existential Thinkers include
Philosopher, Religious leader, Head of state, Artist, Writer

------------------

I'm a web designer and illustrator and in my spare time I make paintings... so I guess the test has a good outcome. Next to that I do like to get involved in discussions. *hugs ATS for existing*

Apparently, according to that, I am a natural thinker.

* 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

Other Naturalist thinkers include

(thought that said Jade Goodey for a moment )
