Thinking in Style

For those of you who don't read FARK.com, check out this interesting quiz on thinking styles.

It turns out that I'm an existential thinker, which apparently means I ought to be a "Philosopher, Religious Leader, Head of state, Artist, [or] Writer". Geez, no pressure!

I wish they had a test to determine accurately what your *weakest* point was. I think that would inspire a nice modicum of humility to counterbalance being compared to Shakespeare, Mozart, or Newton.

In my case, the relevant entry might read:

Kinaesthetic Idiots:
- Don't think through the physical consequences of moving any portion of their bodies
- Occasionally manage to reproduce without injury
- Barely have a cerebellum

That ought to keep my ego at a manageable level.
 
Comments:
It also pegged me as an Existential Thinker. I would have been more impressed if it indicated that I was very skeptical about the validity of the test.
