Tinkering with ideas none of which are clear and actionable. The thought process is less analytical, keeps you aloof from pragmatic, practical options and steers you towards blowing bubbles in the air, ultimately unproductive. If you are ADD then God help you, you jump from idea to idea until you start seeing double… triple… multiple.
There is value in thinkering. May be you'll run into that one idea and create something from nothing, like you will find a treasure in a garage sale.

I spend more time thinkering about unconventional career options rather than actually job searching. For example: ummmmm the astronaut suit will look great on me but i refuse to wear those experimental underwear for a month at a time, I dunno maybe I should get a group of unemployed folks together and shoot a reality show of them while they look for jobs, let’s see I guess could just crash weddings…….

Get the [thinker] mug.
This is a toilet, shitter, and any place a good man can go and read or think about anything while taking a great releaving shit.

There was planking (laying like a board on random objects), then owling (sitting like an owl on random objects), then teapotting (doing the teapot anywhere), now thinkering (sitting on the edge of random objects like a thinker).

A wishful thinker is one who naively believes, what he/she wants an outcome to be, rather than dealing with the alternate reality of what the outcome probably in reality will be. Wishful thinkers are very sweet, but get into trouble with this way of assessing situations. Often very unrealistic, in a silly way. Pollyanna, optimistic. What they want to be true blinds them to reality.
I am sure the police will just give me a warning for my out of date inspection sticker.
I did not read any of the material for the test, and did not prepare at all, but I am sure I will get a good grade.
He is a wishful thinker.

Independent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities. People of this personality type are often very successful in their career as they have both competence and purposefulness. Independent Thinkers are excellent strategists; logic, systematics and theoretical considerations are their world. They are eager for knowledge and always endeavour to expand and perfect their knowledge in any area which is interesting for them. Abstract thinking comes naturally to them; scientists and computer specialists are often of this type.
Independent Thinkers are specialists in their area. The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people. Independent Thinkers cannot stand routine. Once they consider an idea to be good it is difficult to make them give it up; they pursue the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.

Sarah did not believe that her friend Tom was going to hell just because he had a boyfriend. She was as a free thinker.
