I thought this was rather fun and interesting... http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/thinker_quiz/

Here's my results...


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.

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


You are an Interpersonal Thinker

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.

Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, William Shakespeare

You are a Musical Thinker

Musical thinkers:

* Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies

* Feel a strong connection between music and emotions

Like many musical thinkers, Leonardo loved to sing, and had a fine voice

Mozart, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix

You are an Existential Thinker

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

Like existential thinkers, Leonardo questioned man's role in the universe. Many of his paintings explored the relationship between man and God.

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

You can easily get all nine just by ticking all the boxes on the right to say you are very much like all categories. But if you also tick all the boxes on the left to say that all those things are nothing like you - then you also get told you have all nine results and are told you're a renaissance man! I was expecting it to say that it meant I wasn't thinking at all and that my ideal job would be a radio DJ, TV presenter or journalist

I turned out to be a Spatial and a Naturalist thinker

Yeps... I tried that for fun after I did the test properly also - lol Of course one gets flakey answers if one does such a thing - lol

[smiffy]

one result Existential thinker, and the people it categorised me with are the people I respect enormously.I always thought I had a pragmatic outlook on life , maybe this changes everything , maybe I am so much deeper than I thought , maybe my humour is just a smokescreen , maybe I should look up existentialism in the dictionary
