What kind of Thinker are you?

You are an Intrapersonal thinker
Intrapersonal thinkers:
Spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to understand themselves
Reflect on their thoughts and moods, and work to improve them
You understand how your behaviour affects your relationships with others
Like intrapersonal thinkers, Leonardo worked hard to improve all aspects of himself. Other Intrapersonal thinkers include
Sigmund Freud, Gandhi, Grahame Greene

Careers which suit Intrapersonal Thinkers include
Psychologist, Teacher, Pilot, Child care worker, Explorer, Drama therapist
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
 
I'm the existential.
 
I scored as a Musical thinker

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.

Cool but strange. Actually I've always been interested in becoming a sound engineer.
 
Scored Intrapersonal.

Second choice would be Existential, third would be Logic-mathematic.

I think this would be a good time to point out how much I appreciate your differing perspective. HUGZ

*smiles warmly* Aw shucks! Thanks, I LOVE HUGZ :D

I wasn't supprised by the result since I do alot of writing ... short stories, poems, keeping a journal - not to mention all the writing I do at work (my boss calls me a wordsmith). However, it got me to thinking, for someone who writes so much I have very little ability to "communicate" in writing. I'm hoping this board will help with that.
 
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
Existential

Leave it to me to get three results :p they just can't pin me down!

Interpersonal is a surprise, because while i make an effort, i'm hardly gifted at it...
* Like to think about other people, and try to understand them
* Recognise differences between individuals and appreciate that different people have different perspectives (note: I still have trouble with that, even when trying to explain things in their language, i can't translate properly and it gets so completely muddled!)
* Make an effort to cultivate effective relationships with family, friends and colleagues

I rather like Intrapersonal...
* Spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to understand themselves (I still can't figure myself out!)
* Reflect on their thoughts and moods, and work to improve them
* You understand how your behaviour affects your relationships with others

And OF COURSE I'm existential!
* 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 (blogs are so wonderful for topics like this...)
* consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutions
