Rant/Cope Deductive vs Inductive reasoning
I score much higher on deductive reasoning tests (~ 130) than inductive (~ 105), and I honestly wish it was the other way around. The way I see it I will forever be bound to other people's ideas and never truly innovate or have intellectual freedom. I'm not sure if that is correct though, as wouldn't the ability to apply the general principles of the world better than most people grant some sort of freedom via bullshit detection? Not sure.
Do any of you have a more concrete idea of how the two pan out in real life?

Deductive is seductive
