Yes, Jon, I can totally see you as a Doer, which at first I thought runs counter to your Maintainer status. But you're right, it's more likely a subset.

I'd put myself entirely in the "doer" camp, and that does help explain the differences between different "maintainers" from the other discussion, ie. a maintainer could also be a doer, analyzer, etc.

This is fascinating, and once again I don't know where to place myself. I was thinking Analyzer sounds a lot like me until they mentioned they don't like being thrown into situations. Doer describes how I like to learn a completely new activity, but much of that is also because it means riding shotgun and Watching. I think I'd have to say it depends on the task. In intellectual school subjects (like math or notation) I am an Analyzer. In more left-brain activities I am a Doer. Both have a healthy dose of Watcher, though honestly I'm not exactly sure what the author means by the term.

Not that anyone can take away your children from you now...

I'm at least a good part Watcher (though I did do great in school) and Analyzer, with not as much Doer. I learned to cook without recipes by watching Jon and Greg. I like to read instruction manuals and follow exactly step by step. I don't like being thrown unprepared into unfamiliar situations.

Jon is a large part Doer, and Jonathan as well, I think. Hard to say Noah yet, but I'd guess Watcher, though all kids watch and copy, so we'll see.
