Artist or Scientist? Or both?

Albert Einstein
You scored 34% artistic!

Nobody's gotten van gogh yet?

Even the creative Aspies are just too dern logical to score Van Gogh...

Well, I guess I should vote artist then:

Vincent Van Gogh
You scored 78% artistic!
Vincent, you define the word: "Artistic". You are intuitive, imaginative, dramatic and emotional. Like Van Gogh, completely absorbed in the the spiritual essence of man and nature while fighting a loosing battle against madness. You are destined for greatness! Looking forward to receiving the invitation to your exhibition opening! (But just in case, do keep the knife away from your ears!) ) On a more serious note, you might consider climbing down from the clouds every once in a while. Real life on Earth isn't all that bad really. Should check it out sometimes! The experience might even inspire you. You might start by tidy up your room, make a list of things you've been putting off and get cracking on them! This excersise will get your subcoscious in order and get you a bit more balanced.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 97% on artist

You scored higher than 0% on scientist


I don't know about "destined for greatness" but the "fighting a loosing battle against madness" part hits home.

Everyone, call me "Vincent" from now on, and no ear jokes! I'm very sensitive!! !

I had my fingers crossed the whole time I was typing.

Albert Einstein
You scored 49% artistic!
Mr "E=mc�" The Left Brainer, an extremely logical being. That does not mean you suck at any kind of art form. Far from it. You are likely to be a gifted musician,writer. It's just that you are not a visual, "artistic" person. Although if you scored closer to 50 you have potential, just need to bring them to the surface. Don't let thoughs like "I can't draw" put you off trying. Observe carefully and the rest is just inspiration hand eye coordination. Healthy brain has a trumendous capacity for learning. Which side you end up using more, depends on which sode you train more intensively. And that is mostly down to your interests, aspirations and influences.

I think I'm a little bit of both. I love the arts much better than the sciences; it's more of a passion for me because to art there aren't really any limits, at least compared to the sciences, since the sciences have a bunch of laws that things follow. But, in some ways, the sciences could also be interesting to me.

Also Albert Einstien, 49% artistic.

I have faith in that test now, as I always thought I lay slap-bang-in-the middle of the creative/scientific spectrum, and this supports that.

Leonardo Da Vinci
You scored 56% artistic!

Not surprised.

Is the cupid site implying that Albert Einstein was artistic as well as scientific, because up to 50% artisitc you match closest to him....

I was gathering they meant him to be the more scientific of the lot. Einstein for the first 50%, DaVinci for the next 25%, and Van Gogh for the last.

I'm a regular Leonardo DiCaprio, all the girls say (is he still the "cute" actor? I really don't follow popular culture). Actually, it appears to be Leonardo da Vinci.

Well, we got a lot of great famous people here now.

Hasn't there been some mumblings by so-and-sos that Da Vinci may have been on the Spectrum (of course all famous dead people are now on the Spectrum, but meh, lol)?

Thought somebody had proposed that... DV may add support perhaps for a higher percentage of Autistics being more balanced in both creativity and logic than the general population. Yes? No? Maybe so? Shut up, Sophist?

Hmm, I agree, though I don't know about the aspie creative/balance thing, I fear aspie' groups conception of artistry would often be biased towards the scientififc end of the spectrum.
Science and maths serves a meritocracy very well, because you can only assess it as 'right or wrong'. But sometimes in maths and science I think you can be right to different degrees.
From all my readings of Einstein he seemed highly articulate and effacing person.

Einstein did have speech delay though. Some dead people are a little easier to posthumously diagnose than others, not that there's a great deal of point other than entertainment value. He was either HFA or had Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder.
