New Wave Outpost Forum

I've posted this on several boards and got some interesting responses . . .

What kind of thinker are you?

www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/thinker_quiz/

I tested as a musical thinker:
Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies
Are sensitive to the sounds and rhythms of words as well as their meanings.
Feel a strong connection between music and emotions

Of the people who have responded, so far only one other person tested as a musical thinker.

So, who's next?

This reminds me very much of Gardner's Learning Theory. If interested, I'm sure a search on Goggle will turn up tons of Gardner tests. The Kolb Theory is also interesting in how you process information.

Linguistis and interpersonal thinker for me

Logical-mathematical.

Are good at thinking critically, and solving problems creatively
