The way of the intellectual

At times, some friends have told me my personality is very intellectual like. I have never thought of me as that. I connect intellectual with a very thoughtful and less emotional person. On the contrary, I see myself as very emotional and even sensitive. But the last weeks I have realized it could be true that I have an intellectual personality. I will explain you why. The fact is that, more and more, I tend to think in terms of the reasons why things happen, and that means going from one theory to another. Even when some fact disturbs me or affects me emotionnally I try to make sense by finding a psychological explanation or trying to find a solution by aplying certain sociological model. All this is true. So I have realized that my thinking is like a chain of theories one connected to the other. And the funny thing is that I have realized most people don't think like that. If you read my posts you will find lots of references to authors. They are because my thought flows like that.

Seems to me that you have a most analytical mind and the fact that you don't let your emotions get in the way of your thought process is proof of that.

What you mention I guess is simply called thinking by association, it's when one associates one thought with another, if they are theories then there you are. I studied some psychology assignements in university so I know a little bit of these things, nothing else, but in patterns of rationalization there are more models and a lot written about. It's quite interesting. For what I can perceive of your personality you are rather balanced, rich, curious and young -well, that's more a fact, ain't it?-.

BTW, have a great time in Boston. Bon voyage!

You are very kind, Omara. Your words are really touching. I'm in Boston. The weather is rainy and cold, but the city is beautiful.

See you.
