I'm a doer and a thinker depending on the situation. Being a doer, this has landed me in trouble many times, such as when I got angry at school and punched somebody or pushed somebody or got them in a headlock or something. These days, I sometimes think a bit more before I do something but there are still times when I just do something without thinking, mostly times when anger just builds up and I just explode and go ape ****. When I'm making music, I usually try and think about the stuff, like anybody making music should do I guess. I usually think a bit more when I'm with friends and in a conversation, mainly because I don't want to say something stupid.

Like William I am a bit of both. I can spend hours planning out things, annalyzing things, and pondering. Then in a spur of the moment ditch all that and just plunge headfirst. I am often led by emotion, and do suffer from STS (Shiny things syndrome..it's a horrible affliction..wait..is that a brass button?) so often times my best laid plans will get thrown out the window on a whim.

You have a fatal flaw in there. Imagine you're in a software office. ASSUME that you have a mental-computer interface, that is, you use your thoughts to communicate with the computer (not mouse or keyboard -- don't laugh, it has been done, but only with specific people as prototypes etc, not on mass scales).
Is that still "doing" even though you think 100% of the time?
What makes the keyboard so different, after all, you are dominated 95% by thoughts in that process, not by typing.
Yes, the only difference here is that the action you are "doing" is undergoing the thought processes necessary, and so coincidentally the action is thinking.
If you were a thinker you would be thinking about the thought processes without just doing what is required for your job.
Maybe you're being lazy and just think about action (the 'thinking') without doing it, or maybe you are better suited to thinking up new ways of improving the efficiency of the job, or you're just philosiphizationing about the thinking

I don't think when doing something, and don't do anything when thinking. What does that make me?
