Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Sep. 30 2010, 12:15 Came across this little quiz on BBCs website earlier which I found fun. According to my answers, I'm a "Musical Thinker" ! Musical thinkers: 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 Other Musical Thinkers include Mozart, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix Hmmmm, not sure I identify myself with much of that, maybe the bit about "feels strong connection between music and emotions" but then who doesn't! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Sep. 30 2010, 13:54 Don't think too much kids. Elvis knew that well. Just put on an Elvis record and let your brainwaves go flat. Well, not as flat as his are now, that would not be good. Just kind of "Ease 'em on down a notch". I've discovered prog-rock makes you think too much. Gotta rock now and then. My 2 pesos worth. Have some fun. Jim -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Drealm Group: Members Posts: 170 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Sep. 30 2010, 16:58 My result: Logical-Mathematical thinkers: * Like to understand patterns and relationships between objects or actions * Try to understand the world in terms of causes and effects * Are good at thinking critically, and solving problems creatively Other Logical-Mathematical Thinkers include Isaac Newton, Archimedes, Albert Einstein I understand why I had this result, but what I don't get is that I hate mathematics. Maybe I like thinking this "way", but I always hated Maths. Back to top

familyjules Group: Members Posts: 1190 Joined: May 2004 Posted: Oct. 01 2010, 08:17 Well of course if they keep giving playing music or listening to music as an option, I'm bound to end up being a Musical Thinker.  I'm not convinced. Also the job options seem to be fairly limited!   Jules -------------- I like beer and I like cheese Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Oct. 01 2010, 10:38 I took that test a week ago and I got musical thinker too. Everything was quite surprisingly spot-on, except for the part of linking sounds and emotions, which is pretty much the exact opposite of what I think. I'm very often toying around with rhythms and sounds in my head, with objects around me, finding music in random things, striking metal poles and fire extinguishers to hear the notes, humming in bathrooms to find ressonant frequencies, making rhythms with vocal noises and so on. Even though I study computer science and work as a computer programmer, I rarely think like a scientist or an engineer; I'm not as fond of mathematics and logic as I'm fond of art and aesthetics. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.
