What type of aspie are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I am not a visual thinker, but I am rather artistic and creative. I don't really understand some of the categories and don't know what I would classify myself as.

The first one is the closest.

Im basically a visual thinker. Am into maps. Name any nation in the modern middle east and I can tell you every empire that conquered it in the last 5000 years.

I used to design non computer war games using boards, tables, and dice, as a hobby.

in your opinion, does my digital audio restoration avocation indicate a visual thinker or some other kind of thinker?

hard to say.

Audio editing programs Ive encountered are quite visual in how they are used on a computer. So a visual person would take to them. But that doesnt necessarily mean you're 'a visual person".

Musicians tend to be linear, and not visual, thinkers it seems to me. Stevie Wonder I doubt is a very 'visual person'.

But visual thinkers can drift into music as an outlet-like me in deejaying.

Some people can visualize a car engine to fix cars.

More practical a skill than my knowing the geopolitcal history of the world.

But its a similiar visual aptitude.

It depends on how you learn things. Do you like to see a picture of it of it or not when a teacher explains things? Or would you prefer a recipe of directions?

In driving directions- do you prefer "go down the road -turn right at the school house- then...." of to draw atleast a crude map that shows how the roads relate to each other? Im the later.

i guess i'm a mixture. thanx for your help

I voted for "Visual Thinker 1" bcuz I like animation, both 2D and computer animation. I feel as though 2D animation is getting lost in the shuffle again, although we did have The Princess and the Frog back in 2009, My Little Pony, and Gravity Falls and the upcoming Wander Over Yonder on the Disney Channel. It would just be cool to see more 2D animated movies from Disney again.

I do not really understand the reasoning for your categorizations, so I chose other non-visual. I am not a visual thinker at all; I can not visualize ideas in my mind at all 90% of the time, I think in abstract concepts mostly. I associate however with the visual categories 2 and 3. I think I am drawn to these visual arts precisely because I am not a visual thinker; I can not see this idea in my mind so I need to capture my thoughts in a visual medium in order to see it.

Interesting. I'm a visual thinker, but my visual processing of the external world is waaay off. So visual thinker 4, because I care for others and do it quite well. Also, I'm a musical thinker; I almost always have a song playing in my head, so non-visual thinker 2.

Well I'm planning to be a copy editor so I'm going with non-visual thinker 3. I'm definitely not a visual thinker. I'd also be happy with a filing or library science position.

I am visual thinker 4 (Caring for others, Animal trainer, Veterinary technician)

I'm non-visual. I chose the caring for humans option since I'm a clinician for kids on the spectrum and have a great clinical understanding of human behavior, but I'm actually highly linguistic, so I would have also fit in the writing category quite nicely.

I put the art one down - but I fit into many of the categories - in non-visual stuff I use pictures to remember stuff but things like power point presos do nothing for me. I suppose you have to use your own pictures to let anything stick in the mind.

Interesting that mechanics is in two categories - I am terrified of hammer and nail work but love nuts and bolts - so to me they're completely different

I don't know about music as a non-visual - I suppose cause it's audio - but musically I visualise the patterns in the notes, or shapes in the fingering to play

I register visual input better than other types, but the only one of the choices that matches most of the jobs I've had was non-visual: clerical, filing, inventory, and library science. Most of the jobs I had were clerical and filing, but I did inventory work once or twice, and my first job was as a page in a library for a couple of years. I also did a lot of factory and light industrial/warehouse work. I only did retail a few times, and didn't like that at all. I did temp work for most of my working years, so I worked at many places, doing a lot of different things.

I don't think the list takes into account whether the person is doing a type of work by choice, or by need for a job. I worked because I needed the money. I took what work I could get with my low job skills. If I had my youth and my health back, I would try to get a degree in library science. I am a lifelong bookworm, and my job at the library was the one I liked best, even though I did have to deal with library patrons part of the time. I think the experience of dealing with strangers at the library on a regular basis was a help later on with my other jobs.

Non-visual thinker 6 (Engineering, Laboratory technician, Physicist)

I find patterns in everything, mostly abstract things such as chemical and mathematical symbols, but I'm a terrible artist, so does that make me visual or non-visual?

I'm both a visual and non-visual thinker.
I do music and art.

I, too, am both a visual and non-visual thinker. I'm a brain surgeon and a psychic medium. Just kidding. I'm a musician and visual artist.
