Existential thinkers: Like to spend time thinking about philosophical issues such as "What is the meaning of life?" Try to see beyond the 'here and now', and understand deeper meanings consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutionsI feel like I'm changing though. Do you ever look at your answers and think "Am I just repeating myself, or is this me?" But then, asking this question makes me even more an existential thinker, so I give up! I am what I am. Dean.
