What kind of thinker are you? (a quiz)

[Scarlett Wampus]

A BBC quiz on thinking styles: What kind of thinker are you?

Watcha get? I got 'Existential Thinker' which was frustratingly predictable. Apparently career suggestions include: Philosopher, Religious Leader, Head of state, Artist, Writer.

You may have quite a good impression of your thinking style(s) despite the a quiz. What are your strong points? Do you ever wish you could think like someone else does when dealing with certain problems?

Interesting quiz!

Mine was '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.

Like linguistic thinkers, Leonardo made meticulous descriptions in his journals. He also made an effort to learn Latin - a foreign language Other Linguistic Thinkers include
William Shakespeare, Sylvia Plath, Anne Frank

Careers which suit Linguistic thinkers include
Journalist, Librarian, Salesperson, Proof-reader, Translator, Poet, Lyricist

I got:

[Abram]

I'm a musical thinker!

 

[kreeden]

I got two results from the same test . Spatial Thinker and Naturalist Thinker . But the poll inly allows for one ...

 

[Fluffy]

Existential and all five of those career choices have been considered seriously by me at some point or another .

People often accuse me of looking at things in weird ways. For example if there is a maths problem, I will often solve it in a longer or less obvious method. I often wish I could think with the clarity that others seem to with some situations and not get bogged with the details.

People often accuse me of looking at things in weird ways. For example if there is a maths problem, I will often solve it in a longer or less obvious method.

I find odd ways of doing math problems, too. Other tests say I'm logical-mathematical, spatial and linguistic, which I think fits better, so existential was a surprise to me.

Existential

I'd say that is pretty much right on..... I am able to think like others as I have to deal with them on a daily basis.

 

[Scarlett Wampus]

Oops! Sorry, Nehustan was right and I only got one type myself. I just assumed that was one of the characteristics of the results. If I could alter the poll I would. Everytime I post a poll I screw it up. Everytime!

Are you left handed? I am always doing things in reverse order or juxtaposing words and I believe its because I'm a lefty in a right hand world.

I would have to agree with that one pretty much all the way. I've looked into all of those careers in some way or another except meteorologist.
