This slideshare explains what that is and gives a test at the end: The Fox and the Hedgehog
It is based on the phrase "A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog knows one big thing."
The test starts on slide 48.
If I answer the questions based on impressions and my gut, I score as a fox (+33). But if I parse the wording, and assign truth value based on my own memories and feelings, I score a hedgehog (-9).
So am I, like Tolstoy, divided against himself. Is everyone like that? Thinking fast, you're a fox, but thinking slow you're a hedgehog?
