What kind of thinker are you?

Or:
Do you think like Leonardo?

I'm a linguistic and a logical-mathematical thinker.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

One of these......

A few weeks back using another test, I scored highest in Logical/Mathematical, then Intrapersonal and Spatial (tied?), then I think Naturalistic and Kinestic were tied, then some Linquistic and very little Interpersonal (which I think was a side-effect of Linquistic, because I like word games)

This quiz didn't like my browser, but it only told me that at the end.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

The problem is, how do they quantify some of these questions? For example, "talking about religion"... that could be everything from a rational, Rousseau-like discussion of religion in society or a evangelical rant.
