I just took the "what type of thinker are you" quiz that T did and referred to sometime back in a previous log...
I could not be more different from T in how I think. Our many conversations and misunderstandings over the last few months have revealed this. As has this quiz (see below for results). Amazing that we are so very compatible...I love you, T! :)
I am an Interpersonal Thinker and an Existential Thinker.
INTERPERSONAL Thinker:
- Like to think about other people, and try to understand them
- Recognise differences between individuals and appreciate that different people have different perspectives
- Make an effort to cultivate effective relationships with family, friends and colleagues
Other Interpersonal thinkers include
Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, William Shakespeare
Careers which suit Interpersonal thinkers include
Politician, Psychologist, Nurse, Counsellor, Teacher
EXISTENTIAL Thinker:
- 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
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
I must admit, though, that it is sometimes very hard for me to accept let alone appreciate that other people have different perspectives when that "other" person's perspective is based on lies to the self.
With all of my being, I really hate bullshit. So is getting involved in public policy on a state, federal and global level really all that smart for someone that will chew ass if ever the scent of crap crosses one's path? I am very in your face if I suspect deception. Maybe this limits me to mommydom after all and I should stop caring about following my dreams...especially since my dream is to care for others - in how our society is shaped - and yet, it seems, so many others care not to care for themselves or their fellow humans.
Alas, paralysis continues...
