What Kind of Thinker Am I?

Siona pointed me to yet another fun internet quiz from the Beeb - What is Kind of Thinker are You  (one of many on the BBC). This quiz  gets  extra points for simply being associated with Leonardo Da Vinci  -  'Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man", a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.'   I think he may have been amongst the most compassionate - he was also a vegetarian (possibly even a vegan), and would set birds free from there cages.

Back to the quiz. I'm not at all surprised at the result!

Existential thinkers:

•  Like to spend time thinking about philosophical issues such as "What is the meaning of life?"
• Try to see beyond the 'here and now', and understand deeper meanings
• Consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutions
  

Like existential thinkers, Leonardo questioned man's role in the universe. Many of his paintings explored the relationship between man and God.         Other Existential Thinkers include
The Buddha, Gandhi, Plato, Socrates, Martin Luther King

Careers which suit Existential Thinkers include
Philosopher, Religious leader, Head of state, Artist, Writer

I admire greatly each of the Existential Thinkers they list - all worthy.  But hey if you are going to use the word existential, I think a including Kierkegard, Nietzsche or Sartre would have been nice :)
