I see myself as more of a thinker becahse I don’t usually do things without thinking about the consequences. It all depends on the day though, some days I do things without thinking and it never turns out well for me.

Im more of a doer. I prefer to do things than to just think about how i could do them. If you are a doer you might do stuff youll regret later. But in school if you do your work and not just think about doing it youll go up grades until you graduate. Thinkers might think about all the possibilities of something and what could potentially go wrong. So that could be an advantage and a disadvantage to being a thinker

I’m definitely a doer then a thinker, I jump in and take action with out considering the outcome. If I do think I over evaluate the situation. So there is a give and take.

I think I’m a little bit of both. A thinker doesn’t act on their thoughts. A doer acts on their thought without anyone asking them.

I think I am a little bit of both. Sometimes I think about my actions before I do them. Other times I just spontaneously do something. These actions sometimes have good or bad consequences depending on the situation.

I characterize myself as a thinker. One of the advantages of thinkers is they plan things ahead. A doer acts before they think. It can be a disadvantage because they can act wrongly before thinking it through be also they can act rightly without thinking through it.

I definitely see myself as a thinker. Being a thinker means you’ll think about your actions and the repercussions before you act, but you may take longer to act. Doers are able to respond faster but are more prone to mistakes.

I think of myself as a doer. A lot of the time I say and do things without thinking and that gets me in trouble sometimes. I’m a very impulsive person.

i'm a thinker because I don't like going out and doing things.
one disadvantage of being a thinker is you don't go out and change the world like a doer does. one advantage of a doer is they get more accomplished than a thinker.

I consider myslef a doer because i just do and say whatever with really thinking about it. I only think things through if its a new experience that i dont experience on a everyday basis. Sometimes this leads to me saying or doing something stupid. It makes life a lot more interesting.

Probably a thinker. Notice details more, think situations through, come up with new ideas, figure out arguments.

I believe I am a doer. I am very impulsive and I don’t always make the correct decisions and I learn the hard way. I believe thinkers get themselves in less distractive situations but I also think that if you thin too much about something you will not have as much fun in life. I think that doers have more fun but get in more destructive situations.

I consider myself a thinker more than a doer which means I tend to think through decisions a few times over before acting on those decisions. This is a advantage in my opinion because you don’t often throw yourself out or be criticized by mistakes. A doer acts on the first action they think of which is good because they get stuff done but are often susceptible to mistakes.

I am definitely much more of a thinker. I think of a lot of ideas and think about stuff in detail. But I usually don’t do most of what I think.

I think I’m more of a thinker. Because I really do think what the outcome is cause. But I usually don’t end up doing it sometimes.
