[MD] brain test

[MarshaV]

Greetings Akshay,

I think this strange too.  I've always thought of myself as 
analytical.  If you know the Myer-Brigg personality test, I have 
tested several times as an INTP.  That makes me a thinker.  But I am 
painting.  I love philosophy, but I love to climb into the 
mythos.  -  That's why I was looking for some actual studies.

What do you mean by 'dependent on emotions'?  That sounds like fire.

    Yes, I know from where I came,
    Ever hungry like a flame;
    I consume myself and glow.
    Light is all that I conceive,
    Ashes everywhere I leave.
    Flame I am assuredly.
         (Nietzsche, The Gay Science)
