What kind of thinker are YOU?

Post Reply New Topic

Linguistic thinker - did not surprise me in the least - but love to see it

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.
Other Interpersonal thinkers include
Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, William Shakespeare

Careers which suit Interpersonal thinkers include
Politician, Psychologist, Nurse, Counsellor, Teacher

I'm surprised that it mentions having lots of friends and contacts, but I do spend most of my time trying to figure other people out, so I guess it fits. I went to college for nursing, and am now looking at a psychology degree.

I am 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

I got two different results:

You are a Logical-Mathematical Thinker
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

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

Interpersonal thinker

An old topic and an old test, but I couldn't pass it up. I find multiple intelligence theory very interesting.

This actually really surprised me. Intrapersonal being up there doesn't, given my strong interest in philosophy and self-reflection, but putting Interpersonal first really caught me off guard. I do have a near obsession with psychology and "cataloging" information about how people think and feel, and I love trying to help people get through their problems (as long as they're open to it), so maybe it fits. I would have picked linguistic and intrapersonal, but linguistic may be #3 if they gave any further results.

I got linguistic first and naturalist second. Sounds about right, considering that I get excellent writing grades, read a lot and generally have excellent skills in both my native language of English and to a degree French. I can easily understand words from context, which is mostly how I do French. As for naturalist, I do love animals, nature, walking, biology, chemistry and just generally really like having an understanding of the natural world. It thus compares me to William Shakespeare, Sylvia Plath, Anne Frank and Charles Darwin, Jane Goodall, Johnny Morris, David Attenborough respectively. Neat.

I got existential thinker.

Spatial thinker. Not a surprise either as I have always liked working with machines and building things.

Intrapersonal.

Existential.

Logical-Mathematical. Makes sense, as that's what I went to school for.

A linguistic thinker. Exactly what I expected.

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

Like other Naturalist thinkers, Leonardo longed to spend time in the countryside. He spent hours watching birds to understand how they flew. Other Naturalist thinkers include
Charles Darwin, Jane Goodall, Johnny Morris, David Attenborough

Careers which suit Naturalist thinkers include
Biologist, Meteorologist, Forester, Farmer, Astronomer, Alternative therapist

I had both spatial thinker and naturalist thinker.
