    All of the above? Definitely major elements of engineer and evangelist...with a touch of alchemist/artist when I'm feeling it. In the interest of consistency I always strive for proper measurements and temperatures, but don't get my panties twisted if I don't hit them exactly. And while I do like to brew "in style" most of the time, some brews are definitely experimental and I've thrown odd ingredients into many batches. Plus, my shameful predilection for apfelwein surely indicates some crossover into the boozehound category.

    I would say parts of 1, 3, & 4 - I don't know every style but would like to improve on that area. I think #'s are a huge part of brewing. I will try some things that others might not (Dry nutting the 2ndary). I do not brew to get fucked up. I brew to drink things I have created and a benefit is to be able to get FUCKED UP!

    I would say that I'm about 50/50 engineer and evangelist. I like to be "science-y" but I don't get too caught up in it. No metric system though, we live in the real world after all.

    I do talk about beer way too much, though.

    Evangelist with a touch of engineer. I strive to hit all my numbers on brewday but if I'm a little off it's not a big deal. However, I am working on brewing all of the classic styles.
    No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.

    Largely booze hound because of time and cash considerations I tend to make more hooch then anything that said I try to make the best hooch I can make, A little bit evagelist because I 'll talk to any one who listens about home brewing.
    If you can't enjoy yourself, Enjoy someone else!

    I definitely spend more time reading everything I can get my hands on and learning the intricacies of the styles, albeit not really hellbent on being a stylistic brewer. Despite my profession, I don't make precise measurements 100% of the time, but I do measure in metric because, even though I have spent my entire life in the states, I work in metric, so it is easier for me. Definitely not a boozehound - if it isn't good, it gets dumped.
    +1

    though since my profession is an Engineer, I probably should have a higher number there, but since I've been on a mission to brew all 80 BJCP styles, I could also go higher on the Evangelist. but then again, about every third beer is something wacky. . . oh crap, just +1
