I don't know about this...I don't have musical talent, although I love music.

Musical thinkers:

* 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

Linguistic thinker/Spatial Thinker/Logical-Mathematical thinker

That was entertaining.
I'm not surprised about the Linguistic thinker, I've received that score somewhere else. I'd like to question the Logical-Mathematical score.

Why?
The Renaissance ideal

The leading thinkers of the Renaissance were not just experts in their own field. The renaissance scholar was expected to master all branches of knowledge.

With his insatiable desire to know everything, Leonardo da Vinci is often held up as the ideal Renaissance man.



You are a Spatial Thinker

Spatial Thinkers:

* Tend to think in pictures, and can develop good mental models of the physical world.
* Think well in three dimensions
* Have a flair for working with objects

Like other spatial thinkers, Leonardo had a talent for designing buildings and machinery. He also invented a new style of map making Other Spatial Thinkers include
Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Careers which suit Spatial Thinkers include
Mechanic, Photographer, Artist, Architect, Engineer, Builder, Set designer

You are a Musical Thinker

Musical thinkers:

* 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

Like many musical thinkers, Leonardo loved to sing, and had a fine voice Other Musical Thinkers include
Mozart, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix

Careers which suit Musical Thinkers include
Musician, Music teacher, Sound engineer, Recording technician

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...

Nailed-it!!

Interpersonal. No big surprises indeed.

Decided to alter some of the interpersonal results and I got Intrapersonal. Would have been nice to see the other results but most people can probably figure it out anyway.

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

You are an Intrapersonal thinker
* 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'd like to try out all the careers posted they are all things I have considered going into before

Hey guys, wait. I have a question. Under examples of which careers suit Intrapersonal (not Interpersonal) thinkers, it says 'pilot.' Why would a pilot need to have a lot of intrapersonal ability?

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

Maybe it gets lonely in the cockpit?

Logical-Mathematical/Musical. I thought I'd score Linguistic, but this isn't very surprising either.

Hah, but I don't think in words, I find them an obstruction if anything! And I'm pretty indifferent at foreign languages... oh well, not the greatest test anyway... :whistling:
