I found this at another site I've been posting at:

[url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/thinker_quiz/"]What Kind of a thinker are you?[/url]

I never know how much stock to put in these sorts of things , but my results were actually pretty accurate.


You are a 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.

I answer all the questions, but get a "couldn't find the server" message after the fourth page.

I think I broke it.

Hmmm...
I just redid the quiz and it worked fine....
Maybe try a different browser if you have one?

I too was a linguistic thinker.

I had taken this quiz a few days ago and got a combo Naturalistic/Interpersonal thinker.

Fable, I got the errors a couple of times, the thing that worked for me was to take the red "error" url at the end and paste it into my address bar, which brought me to my results.

(I had gotten the errors with Firefox and IE, if that helps) :laugh:

Logical/mathmatical. Pretty close really....

I was "Forbidden"!! :speech:

I was existentialist thinker

You must be in a category all your own then, because [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/thinker_quiz/allresults.shtml"]here[/url] are all the possible outcomes

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.

Um...not really.

I guess that Shana and Fable's brilliant minds make the machine go bananas

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

Fits me I think.
Though I am no psychological expert, the quiz seemed very well worked out to me (as far as a 10-minute test can be well worked out), or at least that's what first impression it gave me. It definitely was very comfortable to fill out with a sweet design. Normally tests like these give you very random statements, where you have to vote 1-5 everytime, with 1 being "I don't agree at all", 2 "I don't agree", 3 "neutral", 4 "I agree", and 5 "I completely agree". The problem with that is that after a while it gets so tedious to figure out how much I "agree" with these completely uninspiring given lines that I often lose focus after a while and just start filling it out with the automatic pilot on, which doesn't make the outcome very reliable if you ask me. But then again, those tests aren't made by the BBC Good find!

I broke that site too. I answered accordingly and it came back as "Forbidden 403". Guess I must be in a league of my own.

I broke it as well.... Guess I don't think
I'll check it out once more later today, and actually post the results.

I am a combination Spacial and Naturalistic 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

and

Like to understand the natural world, and the living beings that inhabit it
have an aptitude for communicating with animals
You try to understand patterns of life and natural forces


I agree with Oopah, and liked the test as well. It seems to be a little more complex than your average "Which Harry Potter Character Are You?" test.

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

That's pretty accurate but not exact. I have both a logical and philosphical side to my thinking to, depending on the subject matter.

For the people that get the errors, try my suggestion to Fable. Copy the red link when the 403 page comes up into the address bar of your browser and when you press go in the browser it will bring you to the page with your results.

I kept getting the errors before too and that was the only way I was able to get my results.

Existential thinker:

Hmmm, I'll have to think about that....:laugh:

*stares at blank screen with a blank expression on face

Dhaaaa..

Did the test on the other forum and I like Leonardo da Vinci am a 'Naturalistic Thinker'. ~Always wanted to be an astronomer but never took the science modules. :laugh:

You are a 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

Other Logical-Mathematical Thinkers include
Isaac Newton, Archimedes, Albert Einstein

Careers which suit Logical-Mathematical thinkers include
Physicist, Chemist, Biologist, Lawyer, Computer programmer, Engineer, Inventor

Pretty much me, I'm a computer programmer myself anyways, and I do always think that there is a logical reason for everything, yet Ironically I also believe in Karma.
