I got over 90 on the second quiz the first time I took it, I have changed my mind about a few things since then so I score a little lower. I actually believe that thinkers always feel like they are different from everyone else. They see the cognitive dissonance of our social rules and it grates on them. (it does on me and I consider myself a thinker), but what grates more on me is the need for people to put everyone in a special box.
There used to be a website by a woman who was a complete mess and had to justify her inability to interact with others as that she was a starseed, and her criteria for that was based on herself and nothing real, only that she needed someway to make herself special to justify her bad habits.
In my opinion there is too much of that. A starseed was originally defined as a highly functional person, who even as a child knew how to navigate the social issues that all people encounter, as well as being gifted in some form or other (math, art, etc). Now it seems to be a way of escape.
Yes, there are people who remember past lives on other planets, but while you are in a human body on planet earth you are a soul/entity/what ever experiencing being human on planet earth. Don't shirk or belittle that by making it about something else. Embrace the experience, embrace who you are in relation to that and just be. When you know something find a way to integrate it into your experience rather that separate yourself from the experience.

Yes I agree very much, but I think all of it is about in which part of the process you are... I used to connect to so many people so easily, listening to everybody without having too much drama... but the wheels have turned and I found myself having it harder doing the old stuff, i'm more aware of my state of being which leads to further detachment from society, these things happen to many people as they try to do the right thing. I know things will change but for now getting to know myself is the best I can do, rather than keep lenting energy to others again and again. I just can't buy this "everybody is the same" approach anymore. killing creativity and will to live
