interesting quiz. my results:

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.

...

* 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

#1: I sometimes think up an entire song simultaneously (rhythm, bass, melody, other parts excluding lyrics). I am trying to figure out how to "get it down on paper" when this happens...

#2: When I write poetry I focus a lot on the words choices and frequently use alliteration or a device where the last half of a preceeding word sounds similar to the first half of a word that follows...

#3: INFP + music ftw
