You are a highly rational thinker! You use logic and common sense to make decisions and react to different situations. There are obviously times when you use emotions to dictate your behavior, but hey, you're only human!

You are a highly emotional thinker! Most of the decisions you make and the reactions you have to the obstacles thrown your way are dictated by feelings. This can prove to be a challenge for you, but it also means that you are extremely passionate, empathetic to others and that you feel strongly towards your morals and principles. You have a strong sense of rationale when completely necessary, but you should try and be more patient and be more level-headed during times of crises in your life.
