No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

interesting.  what answers that you gave would have made you a "thinker"?  do any stand out?



Well, the CPR one, for example.  You have to think and work quickly in taking care of the patient if they are, for example, going into cardiac arrest.  When I was taking my CPR certification course, there were several specific steps you had to take in properly administering the procedure from start to finish.    It is much like Captain Sullenberger who is considered a "Thinker" according to that quiz.   He acted quickly, using his knowledge and experience to land that plane the way he did.
 
Although, CPR guidelines keep changing from year to year, it seems like.  I'll be going back shortly to get re-certified (certification lasts for 2 years and my time is coming this summer) and learn the new techniques.

there is actually a twist to the whole thing.  personally, I think that any country that pushes it's women into battle out of anything short of desperation probably isn't worth fighting for in the first place.

but that is off topic.
