This is the most analytical of the six personality types. For thinkers, learning is a lifelong exercise. They are, by nature, very curious people who take interest in complex things. They like to think and observe rather than act, to organize and understand information rather than to persuade.

They tend to prefer individual rather than people oriented activities. They love to study science and math related problems. They see themselves as precise and intellectual and like to be acknowledged for their achievements. They like to work with DATA.

Thinkers like to work: Alone or with other thinkers.

Personality traits of thinkers are summerized below:

• Smart
• Curious
• Rational
• Analytical

A true Thinker in every sense: Sir Issac Newton
Sir Issac Newton was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. He was a thinker who thought about gravity and made great discoveries out of it.
Newton’s Principia formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that dominated scientists’ view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. By deriving Kepler’s laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and then using the same principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the Solar System and demonstrated that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies could be accounted for by the same principles. Newton’s theoretical prediction that the Earth is shaped as an oblate spheroid was later vindicated by the geodetic measurements of Maupertuis, La Condamine, and others, thus convincing most Continental European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of Descartes.
Newton also built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the colours of the visible spectrum. Newton’s work on light was collected in his highly influential book Opticks, first published in 1704. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling, made the first theoretical calculation of the speed of sound, and introduced the notion of a Newtonian fluid. In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, developed a method for approximating the roots of a function, and classified most of the cubic plane curves.

We can go on and on about the works of this great scientist, but the lesson to take home is “Thinkers are the ones who made great discoveries and they approach everything analytically”
