6. I take plenty of breaks
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 10:34 AM by Champ
Thing is when I'm at home I usually go for the PC. I don't know, I just don't find TV or video games very entertaining anymore. I guess something is wrong with me?

on edit: Any paticular reason why you say that? I'm just being the interpersonal thinker person that I am. :)

18. It says I'm an interpersonal thinker
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 10:52 AM by Massacure
Although I am curious what other people thing, I really hate the prospect of being a politician, psychologist, nurse, or counsellor.

I like problem solving. That's why I am taking computer programming and computer repair classes at my high school. I enjoy my math classes too.

22. I'm 2 kinds of thinkers
And I would say they are spot on.

You are a Naturalist Thinker
Naturalist Thinkers:
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

Like other Naturalist thinkers, Leonardo longed to spend time in the countryside. He spent hours watching birds to understand how they flew. Other Naturalist thinkers include
Charles Darwin, Jane Goodall, Johnny Morris, David Attenborough

Careers which suit Naturalist thinkers include
Biologist, Meteorologist, Forester, Farmer, Astronomer, Alternative therapist

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
