Thinker quiz

Thinker quiz : what your results say about you (via Anita Konkka)

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 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.
