Quad threat coming down.

I'm a musical thinker, apparently.

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.

I thought it said interpersonal for a minute (Umm no)
I don't think I'd be a good teacher, as I'm just too introverted most of the time. I think to be a good teacher you probably need to actually talk a bit
I agree with the naturalist though.

This is probably a dumb question, but why do some people seem to be getting just 1 answer and others 2, 3 or 4?

It said I was a Musical thinker. Though I'm sure I also lean toward the Logical-Mathematical and Spatial.

spatial thinker here...

Since I was 5 yrs old I've had a camera...in gradeschool I always drew street maps...I took architecture in high school, but did not pursue in college because my parents would not allow me to go away to college and the local university did not offer an architecture degree...instead I studied art...I love putting things together at the house...but I am a systems analyst.

No suprises here! I'm definitly a visual thinker (with a little naturalist and existentialist, perhaps). I also liked the questions on the quiz.
Anybody read the book "Thinking in pictures"?
