I’m definitely a doer before thinker, I take action first with thinking of outcomes, but if I have time to think I over evaluate the situation and don’t take action. So there is a give or take with this.

I am a doer I would think. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what i’m going to do until i’m done doing it or starting it. I am glad I am a does because it gets things done and I don’t have to worry about what could happen.

I am a doer I don’t think what I’ve done until It’s too late. This can be a good thing because you don’t have to worry about things but also a bad thing because if you’re doing something and he goes wrong you won’t think until it’s to late and I’ve made that mistake many times. I’m happy I’m a doer because it can let me relax and it’s already done.

I am a thinker all the way. An advantage to being a thinker is you can know what may happen if you do an action. You make sure that it is something you want to do. A disadvantage is that you may be more scared or nervous to do something and there for won’t do it.

I agree, there are definitely advantages and disadvantages to being a thinker.

I think of myself as somewhere between. I’m more contemplative in most cases, but can be quicker sometimes. At the same time, I can look at the greater situation and find both the unfortunate circumstance and the more ridiculous goings-on.

I am very much a thinker, I will ponder something a lot before acting on it. This can be very helpful when some things require more thought , but can be negative because I often over think a lot of my problems.

I'd say I'm a thinker. I think of a lot of ideas and things that would be cool but I usually don't pursue or do them usually just because of self doubt. But if you're a doer then I'd imagine you don't have that problem however you wouldn't think things through completely and get yourself into a situation you wouldn't wanna be in. Plus I'd say that it's a bit easier to overthink and overcome that than to force yourself to stop and think about consequences

I would probably be a thinker. I think things through very well before I do them. However I get really irritated when there is nothing being done. This is an advantage to me because My ideas usually work, but it takes me longer to implement them.
Caden

Good way of thinking
Sammy

I am the same way, I like to take action.

Really depends on the day, sometimes I do before I think, sometimes I think before I do, it depends on the situation.
Josh Grover

That is so true it really does depend on the situation

I am a thinker I because I usually plan before I do. Like when I am doing jiu jitsu with friends I think of my options and go for which everyone seem most likely to succeed. The advance is I usually pick a move to do. An advantage to just doing is you get it done quicker. Instead of waiting for an opportunity to throw a triangle you just go straight into it.
Anthony

Good example.
Miriam

For me I always overthink everything. Even though I am very outgoing I still think about my choices before taking action. This has limited my chances with a lot of things through my life.

I am a combination of both a thinker and a doer. The advantage to both is you take action either way, but doing results in quicker results. The disadvantage is thinkers may become absorbed in their thoughts and doers may over stress themselves with their needs to complete a task. Both are important but I would prefer to be on the doer side to get tasks done.

I think I am a doer more than a thinker. I would rather get things done than think them over.
Miriam

That sounds like a good life.

I’m a thinker. I am always thinking about every situation that is going on. I think of the good and bad of what can happen. Some advantages are it gets me prepared for situations. A disadvantage is that it makes me over think for sure.
Emma

Overthinking is definitely a disadvantage because it can make situations worse.
Matt
2/18/2021 12:20:41 pm
I think I'm a good mix of both but more on the doer side. I like to think about my actions before I do them. Always think about the pros and cons

I would consider myself a thinker. I like to play out a senario before it happens. I would like to plan something out and think about the consequences before I do something.
Emma
2/18/2021 12:30:11 pm
I also like to play out scenarios in my head before it happens!
Emma

I believe I am somewhere in between but lean a little bit more towards thinker. I have a habit of either overthinking or not thinking that hard about a situation. I hate overthinking but it does come in handy when I’m in a bad situation. Leave a Reply. |
