What Kind of Intellectual Are You Test

You are The Bibliophile!

There’s nothing you love more than the raw digestion of ideas. You spend your time collating the many works you’ve encountered into a grand enlightened whole.

Most of the things you observe in the real world become consistent and easy to explain–a hundred different factors all add up. But because you know so many facets of the issues, you can have a hard time explaining them to other people. You may find success in a practical discipline like politics or business, where the results speak for themselves!

My first result was The Scientist, and I didn’t agree. A lot of my answers were borderline so I just switched them.

I guess that means I’m somewhere in the middle of Bibliophile and Scientist.

**You scored 51% empirical, 41% public, and 26% teaching-oriented

You are The Collaborator!**

Huh. I would’ve thought that I’d be a Bibliophile.

Lecturer, and don’t you forget it. You, in the back, stop chewing gum!

77% empiricism, 35% publicity, 62% pedagogy

You scored 51% empirical, 35% public, and 32% teaching-oriented

Another scientist!

You are The Philosopher!

The realm of ideas is your domain, and you relish any chance to act as guide for others. You strive for order in your mental and physical life, and you get it.

You probably write a lot and can master topics by teaching them to other people. Even if you aren’t recognized in this lifetime, your writings will someday be accepted as essential.

COMPARED TO OTHER TAKERS

32/100 You scored 38% on empiricism, higher than 32% of your peers.
39/100 You scored 29% on publicity, higher than 39% of your peers.
87/100 You scored 62% on pedagogy, higher than 87% of your peers.

Bibliophile, but I’m pretty well rounded. I’m not sure if it really means much, as I felt myself having to give a bunch of conflicting answers.

I scored 11% on empiricism, 24% on publicity, and 69% on pedagogy. I am the Philosopher.

The Professor!

Sweet.

“71% empirical, 48% public, and 56% teaching-oriented”

You are The Scientist!

Slavishly devoted to the principle of cause and effect, you never leave an assumption untested.

With the right resources, you can live in a paradise of experiments, happily isolated from the rest of the world.

Some “Scientist” types love the process, while others are driven by the results. The common feature is their vigorous independence. Your fellow scientists will be your only audience, and your harshest critics. But you’ll get your accolades spiritually, every time someone says “I wonder how this works?”
88/100 You scored 66% on empiricism, higher than 88% of your peers…
18/100 You scored 20% on publicity, higher than 18% of your peers…
50/100 You scored 42% on pedagogy, higher than 50% of your peers.

It at least got the idea that I don’t like to be in the spotlight.

Damn you! You’ve made me do the unthinkable. I’ve joined a dating website.

The Lecturer

You scored 50% empirical, 30% public, and 71% teaching-oriented

Pretty much what I expected, too. I love explaining stuff, even though I’m not all that good at it :slight_smile:

Noble, confident, successful! You are The Public Intellectual!

You’re very likely to be mischaracterized, politicized, or satirized by scholars and laymen alike.

You scored 41% on empiricism, higher than 41% of your peers…
You scored 61% on publicity, higher than 94% of your peers…
You scored 52% on pedagogy, higher than 73% of your peers.

…you’re exactly whom thousands of liberal arts major will strive to be some day. (Say what?)

It’s a test that’s skewed toward the hard sciences. For example, the second question asked if you preferred to get your ideas from deduction or observation. I get mine from inspiration, but there was no button for that.

Politics or business, horsefeathers!

The Philosopher.

Though I was actually beneath 50% in all three categories.

Lecturer.

No wonder I’m becoming a teacher.

Not in English ever, but in social sciences.

I took this via Facebook…I’m a Bibliophile.

94% empiricism—higher than 100%???
Wow–What does this mean? I am the most collaborative woman, as well as the most interesting, in the world. Ha!

I’m a collaborator! I don’t know why they said collaborators are beloved – many ov them were executed after WWII. :stuck_out_tongue:

And most of the test wasn’t applicable to me. For instance, for me the most important thing about my ideas is that they be funny.

I got The Philosopher! Which might change if I take the test again in the AM when the pain meds and sleeping pills weare off…

I’m the bibliophile.

But I hate these kind of tests. The questions are too few and too simple.

Do I prefer humanities or physical sciences? Shit, what time of day is it?
