depends on the parameters of "make things" and "do things" -- but i think the things i like to do often involve making as part of them.

Talk about things. That involves thinking, but it's the engagement that I enjoy most.

Although, I do enjoy me some thinking about things, what with my profession of choice, doing is a bit more satisfying (and emotionally complex)

Seems like "do" is more restricted here than I'm used to. In my mind, "doing things" includes both making and thinking. What does it mean to you?

I'd argue that making things and thinking about things are the same thing, to a lot of the people reading this.

My answer was w/r/t who I am, rather than who I aspire to be.

I answered more as if the question were "would you rather have made things/done things/thought about things". I have a natural tendency to think more than do and do more than make, but I think making things is more satisfying in the long run. On the other hand, you really ought to think and do a lot before you make.
