I came up thinker, but I would have expected realist. I think it would be interesting to go back and analyze which questions put me in one camp versus another.
Hmmm, maybe that is too much thinking? Damn, that quiz is good! 
What are the other options beside thinker and realist - connector, fighter, believer ?

Realist. I'd have bet on that before I took the test.

Thinker here - no surprise to myself - although I notice that sitting here calmly and looking at the answers versus what you might *really* do first (like physiologically soil your pants or emotionally panic for a bit) is a bit contrived.....

I hunker down and wait and see what the next step will be.
In a quick pinch, it's up in the air. But from experience, I ran and hid, even as a kid. When the smoke appeared on Broadway, I dove into a building. No thought behind it.

Realist.
(Despite wishing that "Obama will bail me out" had been offered as a choice for every question.)

Thank you for the compliment.
Every strength when overused can become a weakness. I can overthink things not quite getting to analysis paralysis.
Looking back at my life, history in general, and even the current financial crisis; I'm leaning towards the general concept of "I rather be lucky than smart." Some might say that the smart make their own luck but, there are too many variable that need to come together to make "smart" work for you. Also, you need to understand your nature and make that work for you; don't try to be someone you are not.

I have always said that I wish I had been born Witty rather than Smart. (Its not that I believe I have such a high IQ -- I don't, its that I am not very witty.) Being Smart, by itself, rarely guarantees success (whatever that might mean) but being solely Witty always does.

Thinker here. Not a surprise. I just looked at sample tests for the LSAT to get into law school, and found out that analysis was my forte.

I am changing my response. Before I say what kind of survivor I am, I want to be sure that I am a survivor.
