A BBC quiz on thinking styles: What kind of thinker are you?

Watcha get? I got 'Existential Thinker' which was frustratingly predictable. Apparently career suggestions include: Philosopher, Religious Leader, Head of state, Artist, Writer.

You may have quite a good impression of your thinking style(s) despite the a quiz. What are your strong points? Do you ever wish you could think like someone else does when dealing with certain problems?

Interesting quiz!

Mine was '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

Hmmm did you only get one type Scarlett...I got two thinker types and thus couldn't enter it on the poll as I could only enter one or another....


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

Careers which suit Intrapersonal Thinkers include
Psychologist, Teacher, Pilot, Child care worker, Explorer, Drama therapist (cool!!)

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

Careers which suit Existential Thinkers include
Philosopher, Religious leader, Head of state, Artist, Writer. (cool again, but the last thing you want is me as head of state, I can promise you that!!!!!)

Existential and all five of those career choices have been considered seriously by me at some point or another :).

People often accuse me of looking at things in weird ways. For example if there is a maths problem, I will often solve it in a longer or less obvious method. I often wish I could think with the clarity that others seem to with some situations and not get bogged with the details.

I find odd ways of doing math problems, too. Other tests say I'm logical-mathematical, spatial and linguistic, which I think fits better, so existential was a surprise to me.

Existential

I'd say that is pretty much right on..... I am able to think like others as I have to deal with them on a daily basis.:)

Oops! Sorry, Nehustan was right and I only got one type myself. I just assumed that was one of the characteristics of the results. If I could alter the poll I would. Everytime I post a poll I screw it up. Everytime!
