What kind of thinker are YOU?

Post Reply New Topic

I will pm you some of my poetry as I am trying to get published...if I post them in an open forum, then the publishers will say I already published them and they want first publishing and will not take work that has been previously "published".

ya my dad was a bit homophobic....I remember when my sister and dolled up my brother like a girl (he is the baby of the family, you would never guess it now.) and my dad nutted up like a fruitcake.

Jojo

Yay I've long defined myself as a scientific naturalist, so this fits like a glove. And I'm in great company too, seeing that the test result mentions three of my role models (Darwin, da Vinci and Jane Goodall).

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker
You are a Musical Thinker
You are a Naturalist Thinker

I strongly and vehemently disagree with the bolded part though:

Most alternative therapists are all but naturalists. Naturalism is a world view / philosophy without supernatural or magical elements, or anything else that defies logic and reason. Quackery such as homeopathy denies the very laws of nature and has therefore no place in naturalism.

I am spatial.

Herbs and other plants have healed people for thousands of years. Why would they do any worse now?

<-- Has taken many natural remedies instead of chemicals to heal himself.

Naturalist Thinkers:

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

Nothing against herbal remedies, as long as their medical properties have been proven in controlled studies. I take hypericum / St. John's wort for depression, fennel tea for my digestion, and supplement my Crohn's medication with anti-inflammatory camomile tea and frankincense extract. (Btw, these herbal drugs are chemical. Everything is made of chemicals).

But that is not what people typically mean when they talk about alternative medicine, which includes unscientific nonsense such as reflexology, healing crystals, reiki, aura healing, magnet therapy, and of course homeopathy. Unlike herbal drugs, these treatments have no scientific basis whatsoever.

It is important to understand that homeopathy is not herbal medicine. It is bogus. The active ingredient, which is often toxic to humans, is diluted to the point that homeopathic remedies are nothing but water (or sugar pills with a drop of water, in case of globuli). Which is a good thing in a way, because otherwise homeopaths would often end up poisoning their patients. At least water doesn't kill people, but it doesn't heal them either.

The homeopathic principle teaches "like heals like", i.e. a poison like belladonna can supposedly cure the very symptoms it produces, which is of course complete nonsense. In addition, homeopaths believe that the more you dilute a substance with water, the stronger its effect. Which is also illogical. If you give a single drop of vodka in a glass of water, you don't get a stronger drink than pure vodka. Selling remedies that consist to 99.9% of water and have no medical properties whatsoever is simply fraud and has nothing to do with herbalism.

Fair enough, on both the herbs and the chemicals.

I wonder, have you ever tried reiki? I was extremely sceptical about it up until I tried it. I was having a VERY hard time with some muscles in my legs (prone to very painful cramps), and my aunt offered to try and help. It seems like a load of mystical mumbo jumbo, but I didn't have another leg cramp for a good three weeks.

Not bad.

I'm looking forward to reading your poetry. Cool.

I think my life is a disaster because I was involved in all other kinds of careers but naturalistic ones mentioned here. Maybe I need to start again. All these careers were once on my mind while growing up but my career has largely been based on Technology.

Yet another spatial thinker.
Doesn't surprise me one bit.

First place: Spatial Thinker

Second place: Musical Thinker

Just what I expected.

Maybe I did make the right choice in getting a biology degree. But, notions of any career in the field went pear-shaped, almost half of my life ago.

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
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


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
