Are you a heart, head or half and half person?

Do you react to stories and situation with your emotions - sometimes displaying a kneejerk heartfelt reaction, maybe letting your temper guide you, and only really considering the underlying logic of a situation when you really stop to think, or when its pointed out to you?
or do you instantly analyse any situaltion in a logical way, and whilst acknowledging the emotional side of it and what you feel in your heart, you put that aside and assess the situation in a rational, none emotional way and try to see things from all sides?
or do you do both equally? - acknowlegde both aspects and accept they are both valid.
i just wondered really because we get a mix of responses to awful things on here.
and often thats the source of conflict - because of course people who are angry, hurt and emotional dont want to be told to calm down or that they are wrong etc and wont accept it - and the logical people dont want to be faced with someone who wont see their reasoning and is staying with their emotional side.
so which one would you say you are?
cheers

I'm no a particularly emotional person in terms of things that do not directly effect me, I will feel sorry for a person but I am unlikely to shed tears or be actually sad/angry/some other emotion over a story in the papers, a documentry etc. Animal cruelty doesn't make me weep but I think it's wrong, pictures of atrocities in other countries are sad, but I want action and don't understand how crying over it helps, I get angry sometimes but I don't have much of a temper. I don't think I could do the job I do (part of it is the administrative running of a child protection clinic and typing the reports generated,) if I was a particularly emotional person. I do believe I would avoid jobs which would make me particularly emotional, I couldn't be a doctor, nurse etc... anything that would make me directly involved with something sad as then I could feel emotionally involved and I believe that would make me bad at my job.
It's quite different if it's someone I know personally, family or friends, then I am emotionally involved. So I'm not an entirely head person, but I would say it's a good 80:20 divide in favour of head.
