BBC: What kind of Thinker are you?

[Lexlike]

And yours is mine.

yeah,true

yours, of course .

i guess thats typically for INTps, don´t you think??

xD humm...no comments. There's some truth to it, I read well body language and communicate easily by it without having to say anything to people around me x.I'm really good with my hands too but I never thought I'd get that result.

 

[Royal Xavier]

Would that imply then that the X in your type probably is F?

Perhaps, though I'm sure that many philosophers are thinkers as well as feelers.

Can't help but wonder why pilot and explorer are listed there, lol.

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

The Buddha, Gandhi, Plato, Socrates, Martin Luther King

I got two results:

You are a Linguistic Thinker

* 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.

Other Linguistic Thinkers include
William Shakespeare, Sylvia Plath, Anne Frank

You are a Spatial Thinker

* 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

Other Spatial Thinkers include
Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Isambard Kingdom Brunel

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

So I get both pictures and words to think in... but in my case, never the twain shall meet.

 

[Blackmail!]

How amazing, Hap'!

I received the same result!

Linguistic thinker and then Spatial thinker...

 

[Mondo]

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

Accurate!! I plan to be a lawyer and always dreamed of being a master inventor!

 

[disTant_eCHo]

Naturalist Thinkers:

* Like to understand the natural world, and the living beings that inhabit it
* have an aptitude for communicating with animals

I'm especially interested in the 'aptitude for communicating with animals' part. I've been considering writing a thread about my being INTP and having an empathy with dogs that they all sense.

It gave me two, though, so I also had this:
