I am more of a thinker than a doer, I tend to think through decisions before I do them. Which helps me choose what I think may be a better option for a problem, but it won't be as speedy as if I were a doer that just dove head first into action.

I wish I did more thinking before I did things, it definitely would keep me out of trouble.

I think with thinkers yall tend to be more safe about certain things, sometimes fast = not safe

I'm the same way with decisions.

I am more of a doer, most of the time I do more than I think about things before I do them. It is sometimes not the best thing to not think before I do things because it can get me into some trouble. But sometimes its good because if I don't think I can't get nervous and chicken out about it.

I agree that thinking before doing something can lead to chickening out, I myself am guilty of doing that.

Thinking a little bit before you do things is smart.

I do the same as well I am a doer but also think before doing anything.

I guess it depends on the moment and what I am doing. I sometimes do before I think, and think before I do. I think I am more of a doer though. Thinkers like to think things through and tend to get stuff done that tends to be more strategic and safe. While a doer just wants to get it done, which can end up breaking things or ending up unsafe.

I like how you categorize the thinker and the doer while saying you tend to flip flop between the two.

I am more of a thinker than a doer. I am scared of failure so even if I think of doing something there is a high chance I won't do it. Being a thinker you think of every possible option before you do anything. A doer does some things before thinking and they can come to regret it later. They also tend to worry as much about failing so they dive head first into things.

I am guilty of doing something without thinking then instantly regretting it later.

Zac Winchester

I agree with this in the fact about a thinker versus doer.

laci

I am the same way about being a thinker.

Jersey Anders

I am a doer, because I do things without thinking.

I believe I characterize myself as a thinker because I think thoroughly into a situation. This has advantages for analizing any situation or being a critical thinker. But being a thinker has disadvantages such as being an overthinker.

Depends on the situation on if I'm a thinker or a doer. Thinking may help one make better decisions but being a doer gets things done quicker

Ana

They can also easily get into trouble without thinking first.

naomi

Im not sure I think it depends on the situation. I think each situation also deserves a different approach.

I am a thinker. A good thing about being a thinker is that you have a very creative mind. A disadvantage is if you only think you can't be a doer.

I think that I am a doer because often I just do the first thing that comes to mind in a situation.

I believe I do the same as well. It can make things easier or it can also be your worst enemy.

I am more of a doer than a thinker, however I think some before I do stuff. Some advantages to this are not worrying about making decisions because you just do it. Disadvantages is it can get you in trouble.

I would say that I am a thinker and not a doer because a lot of things scare me. An advantage of being a thinker would be what you think about and what you are going to do before you actually do it. A disadvantage would be overthinking things.

I characterize myself as a thinker because I overthink a lot in many situations. some advantages to being an overthinker is that you may be right depending on what the situation is.

Nico

I think I am currently kind of both but would like to be more of a doer.

Nico

Thinkers might have more of a plan but they are less effective and don't always act on their plans.

I could also fall under this category too because I will often think while I am doing something.

jake

Jersey Anders

I think I am more of a doer than anything. I don't really think about the outcomes, so I just do it.
