I would characterize myself as a doer although I think about what i am going to do quite a bit. A disadvantage to being a thinker is that you do not get a lot done and a disadvantage of being only a doer is not thinking

Think that I am a little bit of both. But I am probably more of a thinker. It really just depends on the situation. I think that thinking is very good so you don't into bad situations but you don't want to be all talk.

Yes, you are definitely more of a thinker.

I would characterize myself as a thinker more that a doer. The benefits of being a thinker is being able to strategist the best opportunity. However, the negative is overthinking often losing opportunities do to not knowing whether it will be worth it.

I would consider myself a thinker. Thinker have plans but don't do much, doers do alot of things but don't plan them out.

Michael Petroni

That is very true.

Ryan Morgan

Yes I agree with your advantages and disadvantages.

I am most definitely a thinker. I don't want to get in trouble because my dad is a very scary guy. A disadvantage for a thinker is that you miss out on things. An advantage is that you wont do a lot of dumb things.

Eliza Fisher

That is very true, your dad is scary.

Trishelle

Yes you are a doer!

Mason LaMont

I agree being a doer is great.

You are definitely a doer.

1/31/2022 12:22:36 pm

ohh yeah your a doer alright

Mason LaMont

I am a doer. Advantages are having fun doing dumb stuff and new experiences. Disadvantages are dangerous, get in trouble a lot, people get mad.

Eliza Fisher

Those are good examples.

Garrett

People do really get mad

wyatt platz

1/31/2022 12:20:42 pm

That is very true and reasonable.

1/31/2022 12:23:09 pm

I agree with you sir.

I probably consider myself a thinker. I tented to think before I do and probably over think more often then not. But I don't end up in stupid and dangerous situation to often.

Raven

Thats a good point.

Ryan Morgan

1/31/2022 12:19:23 pm

I would characterize myself as a doer. An advantage would be getting stuff done. Disadvantage would be not thinking

Raven

1/31/2022 12:22:10 pm

This is true.

I think I am more of a doer because I often do think through my decisions. I would rather ask for forgiveness then permission. Being a doer makes you get in trouble. Being a thinker makes you procastanate.

Garrett

I am more of a thinker because I overthink a lot. Being a doer can get you into trouble more often but it also allows you to live a more fruitful life. Being a thinker can make you more cautious but it can stop you from living life to the fullest.

Raven

I would characterize myself as a doer I make a lot of last minute decisions But depending on how big the decision is I might think before I do it. Some disadvantages to being a doer is your reckless and get in trouble more, a disadvantage of being a thinker is over thinking and not getting things done.

I feel like I am a doer but I also like to think a lot. I like to be very sure on what I'm doing. I feel like I overthink a lot of things that I'm new too. But once I'm started I can follow along well. Doer can cause problems without thought. Thinker can never get anything due to overthinking.

I'm definitely a doer. How do u think I have ended up with so many piercings and tattoos. I don't think about it and stress I just go for it and say it is what it is. It's my life and I'm the one that has to live with my decisions if others don't like them then that's their issue. This is also why I thrive at work though I don't think about extra stuff I jump in at work and do what has to be done.
