Interesting question Yorick!
I'm really not sure where I fall to be honest. I suppose the majority of the time I look at things quite simplistically.
For example, I almost always take people at face value, and will assume that they are being honest. I think that is quite simplistic of me, it makes it difficult for me to spot duplicity or subtitles, and I can come across as a little gullible or naive.
I think overall it's a positive thing though. I'm quite direct and straightforward, know what I want out of life, understand myself, etc. I don't worry about things too much, or spend time dwelling on stuff that I can't do anything about. That's not to say I'm a particularly relaxed person - I get a bit twitchy if my brain and body are not kept occupied!
On your question about dealing with problems, I don't sit around looking at problems from every angle for ages - I work out what's wrong, work out how to fix it, or if it can't be fixed accept that. Problem solving should, IMO, be as quick a process as possible - not without thought, but without undue worry. No point worrying about things you can't change.
I'm not 100% sure that this completely answers (or even fully understands) your question exactly, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
