Steep The six portraits

Six ways of thinking.

Read any of them, then take the quiz to find which is yours.

Steep recognises six kinds of thinker. The categories are not diagnostic and not scientific. They are a reading aid, a small tool for naming a shape you may have felt but never put a word to. Each portrait is a short essay, honest about both the gift and the shadow of that way of thinking. Start with whichever title catches your eye.
