Are you a deep thinker?

From the video provided.
1. you are an introvert - yes
2. you hate small talk - hmm. could be worse. i have gotten pretty good at listening to people a person talk, although if i am honest, my mind will sometime latch on something they say and silently go off on a tangent in my own mind.
3. you are introspective - yes. and i have been told that makes me a narcissist. that is just so super... <sarcasm>
4. your imagination is vast and active - maybe? I could be fooling myself. it mostly meets my needs.
5. you plan ahead - if needed, i can planned ahead in ridiculous detail. generally i do not because i am lazy and it is very time consuming.
6. master strategist and planner - generally no. that is what makes me profoundly excellent at losing games with my sons. there is overlap with item 5 and 6. and i am lazy
7. you're a good problem solver - yes. when i am lucky, i am an adequate problem solver
8. love to learn - i will gleefully leave the path i am on to explore an adjoining path. however, i do not enjoy being told "to learn" or what to learn. i wish i could speed through books. i really do. i tend to read very slow. that would have been very helpful when i was growing up and in school.

So I'm not sure deep thinker fits me. I genuinely believe that if I said and believed I am a deep thinker, my ego would explode and spray everyone with my ego odor (smells like skunk). If my ego is fed just a little nourishment, I will be intolerable for anyone around me. However, that is why I live as a hermit.

It also helps to remind myself that the IQ test I took online said I scored 75 on the Computational Speed category.

Seriously, I don't believe I am a deep thinker, and I know there hordes of people that are smarter than me.
Sorry, I'm doing a lot of rambling. I've been thinking about this since the thread was created. That means I'm slow, not a deep thinker.

From what I have come to understand is that one of the main factors of being a deep thinker is seeing the complexities of life. It used to really confuse and often frustrate me how most people seem completely unable or unwilling to recognize this complexity, how the world seems t see only in black and white.

I prefer not to be. My thoughts lead to inaction and that inaction leads to more thoughts. I'm trying to think less and do more.

Mind blank. No thoughts. Just vibes.

People whom recognize those complexities are not the average person ,I feel , And yes , the black and white is the
cheap ? and easy way out . But that does not always allow individuals . To get the entirety of any particular situation.
Perhaps the gratitude for experiences ,that may have helped them in other ways, on down the Road from the first experience? Perhaps choosing those people that are more aligned with complex thinking. Could be better choices for ones own wellbeing ?( Just a Thought )
