When faced with a problem, for the most part are you concerned with:
What's going to work, and making that happen as quickly as possible - this doesn't require understanding every tiny little thing, just get the damn thing done and out of the way.
Understanding as much as possible about the situation, preferring to take your time comprehending all of the intricacies the problem presents - so, you dislike being pushed to make hasty decisions.
I'm more focused what other people think about it, not so much worried about the problem itself.

Not particularly fussed about the 'vibe' of the social environment.
When looking at something, such as a painting, a picture, scenery, literally anything - which sounds most like you?
I tend to search inwards and reflect upon the vivid impressions that I receive. Often, a feeling will arise that's almost as if another part of my life is being laid over what I am currently experiencing. In these moments, I feel alive - looking out at a sunset will evoke impressions of sunsets with lovers long gone - I can literally feel the heartbreak years later when this happens.. it could evoke the nostalgia of playing with my friends as a kid. I love these moments and I use them to guide my path through life.
I tend to notice the colours, the palette that's been used, the way each stroke has been lay upon the canvas. I can sometimes visualise scenery just as rich and vivid as if it were real - in my head, I can picture myself there, I can see the sun glistening off the ocean, I can feel the sand beneath my feet, I can feel the wind on my face, I can hear the waves - shit, I can see the old people walking their dog - all in my head. I want to be there, and I want to experience it.
I'm more focused on exploring the possibilities presented by what I'm observing - what I think it means, or could mean.
Which of the following resonates the most with you?
I love thinking about possibilities, exploring them and sharing them with others - sometimes new ones come to me as I vocalise my thoughts, and I enjoy bouncing my ideas off of other people - I tend to do this before I've fully fleshed the idea out. I love learning about, and experiencing new things - I'm constantly seeking knowledge. I am restless and can be so immersed in my own mind that I am practically not 'present' in the real world sometimes.
I like exploring concepts and fleshing out my insights and perspectives on things on my own. I tend not to share these insights with other people until I'm positive it's 'complete' in my head. I sometimes zone out as I focus on visualising my insights into crystal clear truths about the world.
I'm not really concerned with 'ideas', 'possibilities' or 'concepts' - I'm more realistic and prefer to just deal with life as it is, rather than drift off into that kind of fantasy land. I zone out every now and then but it doesn't exactly define my personality.
