Of course being the BBC this must be a cut above Quizilla...

You are an Interpersonal Thinker

Interpersonal thinkers:
Like to think about other people, and try to understand them
Recognise differences between individuals and appreciate that different people have different perspectives
Make an effort to cultivate effective relationships with family, friends and colleagues

Like interpersonal thinkers, Leonardo had lots of friends and contacts, and was a popular figure at the Italian court. Other Interpersonal thinkers include
Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, William Shakespeare

Careers which suit Interpersonal thinkers include
Politician, Psychologist, Nurse, Counsellor, Teacher

This morning got off to a very early start - meeting ones boss for breakfast at 7:30 is great - unless you start in Birmingham and are coming by train...

And then I had to educate him into the appropriateness of greasy spoons to vegetarians who don't eat beans, mushrooms or egg.

Still, it saved going out of Oxford again to the office - I'm squatting in someone else's - which is fine, and will give me a wider choice for lunch later - as long as I don't stray near HMV or Waterstones and encourage myself to further destitution.

question based in ignorance...

I am assuming that the fact you dont eat mushrooms or beans is a personal dislike rather than some sinister insinuation of meat based proteins into fungi by supermarkets. Please tell me my mushrooms aren't made of hooves these days?

All personal dislike :-) I don't like the texture of mushrooms - which is why I have to burn Quorn for it to be most appetising.

I don't like the taste or the sauce with most baked beans.

I don't like the taste or texture of egg - I'll eat it as an ingredient but not as a "boiled" or "fried" for example.

I can't understand why I'm accused of being difficult!

It says I'm a Spatial Thinker.

Spatial Thinkers:
Tend to think in pictures, and can develop good mental models of the physical world.
Think well in three dimensions
Have a flair for working with objects

Not convinced, personally. I think in words, not pictures, but I do like putting up flat-pack furniture, so maybe the objects part is right?

I would have pegged you as a Linguistic Thinker. Remember your failure at the tower.

I got two!
Spatial Thinker + Interpersonal Thinker
