Im an INTP so im probably more of an overthinker.

But job demands had me switching into INTJ personality, so I mellowed a bit

Overthinking for sure, which is fine. Better to overthink than underthink.

I tend to overthink quite a bit. Especially if it is important. I am often led to a What If scenarios in the problem and extend from there. Perhaps I just want to understand the full concept of the material. That way, I'm prepared for any situation.

I feel like I think the correct amount. Just not on the correct things.

Overthink, mainly because I'm aware of just how many things could possibly go wrong at any given moment and I want to try to prevent them so everything goes perfectly. I'm also a perfectionist.

Overthink on the details, underthink on the overall picture.

I'm more likely to underthink due to not giving a shit.

- Developing a justified level of tolerance for risk and failure (which means educating yourself to the most proficient and competent level possible).

- Evaluating the risk-reward attributes of your contingency to prevent over-compensation (work within the budget, avoid operating at lose)

- sufficient time management allotted for planning and execution (deadlines should be strictly enforced)

- hire a good lawyer

And often times, I underthink what's actually important.

Both. Sometimes I spend an hour thinking about random thing or little decisions, other times I just do things or say things without a second thought.

Both I guess, although I think I am leaning more a bit towards underthinking stuff.

I used to overthink. I think I've reached a point where I can balance.

Still some hits and misses, of course.

Both, some times it seems to depend on which is more inconvenient at the time.

Overthink as in considering every possible aspects before making decisions then yeah I do. By your definition, I don't.

Under thinking is something I consider to be an instinctive notions you act on after years of overthinking experiences.

It really depends on the situation...though I suppose I overthink a little more than underthink.
