I understand that different individuals 'think' in different ways.

I myself am an 'Associative Thinker'. If I am speaking with someone and they mention a 'car accident', it will immediately bring to mind car accidents I was in, or I read about, or someone told me about. If I am not careful I would then begin to tell the person all about them in the next three hours.

I was told by a female friend that she is an "Imaginative Thinker". If see sees' her partner reading a book on "Unsolved Murders", especially if they had an argument last night about who left the cap off the toothpaste, alarm bells would begin to go off! She can remember the streets in a city she was in ten years ago, if she happens to be in the area again!!!

Another friend told me that when she gets up in the morning she thinks about everything she has to do. Not me. I think (?). Once I get up in the morning I go on autopilot until I have my coffee: Brush teeth. Shave. Get dressed. Make coffee.....


Am I just weird or what?

I think I think too much.

I'm usually in a hurry to reconcile matters that plague me so. I've become much better at avoiding paralysis by analysis these days.

some say I think too much.............some say I don't think enough.....no one ever told me how I thought.....I guess I think deerty.........

Oo I think waaaayyy too much..

My mind is just a big ole blurr of bumpf most of the time..

Even I can't work it out.

I think I shouldn't think.



What was I thinking or was it drinking ??????

haha

Hellooo long time no see!

i am always thining,
but i am having troubles with coordinating the 2 thinking devices with the appropriate times

associative thinkers do my head in - you cant have a one on one conversatrion with an associative thinker cos they bring everything back round to themselves - I find that many of my friends who are coming out of relationships (myself too for that matter) get so lost in the various 'associations' that they completely lose sight of the 'self'..............

Hello Claire.

I remedied this problem this weekend by squeezing in my mustard on CS.

Think??? Blimey..... I don't if I can help it!!

Thats it. Now I know I AM weird!
Dang

I am one of those kind also, everyone does think I am weird, Oh well!!

I wonder what would happen to the conversations if two of those associate thinkers were together.

lets talk about it

nah - this is a bit sorta run of the mill normalish round here - oooops, unless of course Im weird too hahahaha - hmmmmmm, possibly thats so........ - have fun anyway sweetie

Then there is the "Strategic Thinkers". If you meet one of them run!!

E.g. when I am thinking which flower to buy her to get the relationship back on track, she may already have her bags packed, closed the joint account, selected her new apartment..... [DISCLAIMER: For illustrative purposes only!]

Anyone out there like that?

I'm a systems thinker...my social i.q. is through the roof and then some...can somebody say organized chaos!

I "think" you should head for the mirror...

Thinking.....about thinking.....hmm where to start? I don't know what type of thinker I am but I think (for lack of a better analogy) in puzzles that are incomplete. What that means is that as I talk to someone their words fill in pieces of puzzles in my head. It gives me a clearer (in most cases) picture of what they want to convey. "Pieces" are made by all sorts of things including personal experience, empathy, deduction, or from things I've gotten from other people directly. Then things take a "left turn" and all the various possibilities unfold about what they are saying. Do they really know the "something" they are giving me or is there more to it? Does the piece they gave me fit? If not, why? (I'm a technician btw) I find it almost impossible to ask an inteligent question if I don't fully understand what I'm being told. I've been told that I'm a "literalist" which I tend to agree with I lack a better term :) If you know one, please let me know! If you asked someone to fix something or to give advice on a subject, wouldn't their understanding of the problem/situation be kind of be a desired prerequisite? Ok if your brain hasen't exploded by this point BRAVO! :-)

The only word that will be on my tombstone


WHY?
