What is your thinking style?

 Thanks for the post. I did the test and found it very interesting and fun to take. 
I ended up with 2 results so I am not sure how to interpret that: 

It came up Linguistic Thinker and Interpersonal Thinker. 
Maybe I have a Split Personality??  :>)

My results here!

Thanks Gael.

Thanks for this Gael. Please find my results at http://armila.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/what_kind_of_thinker_are_you_followed_sherri_and_zephyr

Am an intrapersonal thinker, just like sherri!

Have you visited this?

Oh cool, sister Mila [We've been calling each other that for a while, haven't we? lol]

Liking your site Janet!

Sherri

Zephyr, you've started something good.  Thank you.  Check out my results; here's a hint…

There's something about you I love about me.

How fun! Thank you for sharing this, Gael. I'm a Naturalist Thinker

I came up as an Interpersonal Thinker, which is kind of weird given that I'm an artist (and Shakespeare, one of the examples,  was a playwright)–but I can totally see it, too.

I've just been accepted to a master's in counseling psychology program and I'm debating whether I want to go through with it!

Even if something suits me, maybe it's not the thing I'm looking for. Heh. *bangs head on wall*

:)

Take care,

I.

Thank you Gael

I am, a musical thinker..

Tend to think in sounds,
and may also think in rythms and melodies.
Are sensitive to sounds and rythms of worlds as well a there meaning.
Feel a strong connection between music and emotions..

knew here wasa reason for all that singing and jigging:)

Hey Gael.. thankyou for this.. I turned out to be a Musical thinker on this one… still sitting on the fence with lots of the answers though.. like both/and style. I wonder how that sounds? Punk chaos or symphonic harmony!

It's probably cos I just got my cd player to play something other than harmonious bhajans and spiritual cds this evening.. It's the most bizarre thing.. it belonged once upone a time to one of my -ex's various lovers (I wasn't aware of that when it made the move to my house), but since I've become aware of it, it will only play 'spiritual' music for me. It's quite happy to play shrek, madness or whatever you like for my kids, but it will only play higher 'spirit' sounds for me.. till tonight!

Obviously it's moving-on time ;-D x

Lynx I think you're great. Signs and wonders… the good kind!

See you at the friend req?

Sherri

:) I got 4 of them, I am Interpersonal Thinker, Musical Thinker, Naturalist Thinker and Existential Thinker… sometimes I just wish to be a simple gal LOL

Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

Hugs,

Lili

Wow!….I loved taking this quiz..I think it is completely correct…It's amazing because I am going to school to become a psychologist..Here are my results…
 Intrapersonal thinkers: 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 othersLike intrapersonal thinkers, Leonardo worked hard to improve all aspects of himself. Other Intrapersonal thinkers include
Sigmund Freud, Gandhi, Grahame Greene

Careers which suit Intrapersonal Thinkers include
Psychologist, Teacher, Pilot, Child care worker, Explorer, Drama therapist

Hi Zeph,

The test said I am an Existential Thinker, not surprised.  Also it mentioned “Renaissance Ideal.”  It didn't mention that I'm Intrapersonal, though I am a psychologist who is rather fulfilled at work.  Nice vibe from you.

All in One,

Doug

Thank Gael, I am the same as you! Imagine that!
I am Love, Jeff

Thanks Gael,

Seems to me there are quite a few interesting thinking styles encompased in the personalities here at Gaia.. The differences and similarites make all the difference..

I am Intrapersonal & Musical thinker…

~lars

This was very interesting!

Here's mine.
~Lisha

Thanks to Fast Dart/Lars, I came here and took the test.  Zephyr, we are the same kind of thinker.  Existential.  I wasn't surprised.

Deborah

Zephyr? Deb? Awakened? Me too. And like you, Deb, I wasn't really surprised either. ;)

Now the cd player's gone quiet I took the test again… Existential too.. musically so! I think this is a lot more like me

Hi folks. Thanx for this Gael.

I'm existential, too…..and to switch thinking style typographies, I am a divergent (as opposed to convergent) thinker, I take other perspectives into account making me an ”aperspectival-integrative” thinker (Habermas)…….I am creative and daydreamy, as opposed to rulebound…..and rapid as opposed to whatever is the opposite of that, I really don't know….anyways that was fun and these sorts of things are really good fun as a social networking tool as well as a bit of self-discovery…think I'll do me some trawling…..

Again; thanx for this Gael…Jon xx

Thanks, Zephyr………am going to reflect on this today and use this time to direct more vibrant energy into my NOW.

Thinker quiz : what your results say about you

Some people have a strong preference for one style of thinking, and find some skills come more naturally than others. Other people tend to adopt different thinking styles in different situations.

This test gives you an idea of what your current thinking style or styles are. But remember - the brain is a very adaptive organ. You should be able to improve your performance in any one of these categories with practice.   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.


You are a Naturalist Thinker Naturalist Thinkers: Like to understand the natural world, and the living beings that inhabit ithave an aptitude for communicating with animalsYou try to understand patterns of life and natural forcesLike 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 meaningsconsider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutionsLike 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

awh…i get it now…but i would rather remain mysterious and keep you guessing…lol

We fail the test.  Our rolodex of being 'Natural Thinkers' posse goes another way;-

>> Change from dreaming of living on heaps of material rich, respects, and celebrity to living a Negreto-disgused, no-body life on circulatory flows of sanctity and frugality sharing.

>> Free from owning, holding  money, material, position, relation status as power over others, or depending on man-made/ man-lent/ borrowed/ reborrowed authoritative power.

>> Respect the existence and diversified incontentious spychic missionary functions of those propelling hot waves in duplicating the thinking <> being <> doing <> having <> doing with the having on Ravan connections.

>> Endeavor to live learning > unlearning > relearning to duplicate wild plants in living peaceful, happy, healthy radiating sanctity and frugality, together with other people's kids (we're all somebody else's kids to each other) wanting to live like wild plants with us.

>> Love to feel our TTT (think > talk > touch concurrence) consistency becoming more genunine in ruling thinking <> being <> doing <> having <> doing with the having  for wellness and happiness of ever-growing numbers of other people's kids.

>> No conclusion if it's realistic or illusive.  We only feel our dwelling in whirling is in opposite direction and parralel to our own past life's (hitherto backward) process of thinking <> being <> doing <> having <> doing with the having - whirling back accelerando boomerang effects of leverage love and frugality sharing to surround and circulate through life.
 
>> It seems like we have left diveresified, incontentious Ravan spirituality <> mentality <> humanity maturity connections for contenrious Rama connections - to exist empowering people choosing to start following us practicing living 'like-while-plants' way, no matter where they phisically are and which career they take.

I need a brain grease and oil change….This is the second time this week on Gaia that I have not known the meaning of a word, and sometimes, more…..”diveresified”…and because I get lost in the sentence, I dunno if it is a typo or my braino!!!

Hey everybody….what a fun blog from our sweet Zephyr….. I absolutely cannot resist adding mine…..yay….love mine……..it's so true….all of it…… (well…'cept the salesperson career idea sucks)    but I also like to think I am an 'existential thinker'  as well……..oh heck…..I want to be all kinds of thinker…..  greedy me…lol…


Here it is……I am a Linguistic Thinker …… .

Linguistic thinkers:

Like linguistic thinkers, Leonardo made meticulous descriptions in his journals. He also made an effort to learn Latin - a foreign language

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

Careers which suit Linguistic thinkers include
Journalist, Librarian, Salesperson, Proof-reader, Translator, Poet, Lyricist

Okay. I went ahead and posted an actual update. If you each go ahead and tag yours 'thinking style' it'll be easy to find them all on the site… ;)

I did not do the test. It seems to me like defining personality. The tests aren't real. Even IQ test is not real and let alone this test.They are a lot and a lot of different kind of thinkers.Some are mix. I don't want to define myself and the others, becauuse when I define(what is my thinking style?)I create a space to judge myself and the others.Only GOD can judge…This is my opinion.
Albulena

Albulena: Oh, I completely understand that point of view! There's no need to consider the quiz to be a be-and-end-all, though; after all, I liked using it to find out where I am in the moment. Tomorrow my results might be completely different. And definitions don't necessarily lead to judgment (I'm female; I'm 6 feet all; I live in Colorado, and–today at least–I am an 'existentialist thinker'; all these are merely descriptions of being-in-the-moment. Whether or not someone wants to judge me based on these is up to them, not me), do they?

Just don't judge us for taking the test! ;)

HI SIONA,
It was my pleasure to read your thoughts. And most of all I liked U when U said: “Just don't judge us for taking the test! ;)”. I understood what did u mean.
Thnx. U
God bless your wisdom,
May God bless U, your family and all people around U,
Much love and peace,
Albulena

I took the quiz, too, I love quizzes …. so for today, my thinking style seems to be THREE-fold!

Logical-Mathematical, Interpersonal AND Intrapersonal … will post my results in a blog soon! 

Very fun to look at it for the moment … like Siona said, though, I'm sure my results would change daily given my flow of energy!!

I have finally done the test. Siona convinced me to do this test:).
So the test told me  that I belong to the Interpersonal thinkers and Musical thinkers
In the first group also belong Other Interpersonal thinkers include
Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, William Shakespeare.
Mother Theresa was albanian like I am:).
And to the second group include Mozart, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix
P.S.  Like interpersonal thinkers, Leonardo had lots of friends and contacts, and was a popular figure at the Italian court…Like many musical thinkers, Leonardo loved to sing, and had a fine voice.

Zephyr,

:) Not all of them are lyrical.I don't know if I told U before but months before I started to work as a textwriter , here, in my country…
I'm a teacher sooo I really belong to the group of Interpersonal Thinkers heheheh LOL
