I read an Ad in a mag which has a title of : "ARE U A PROBLEM SOLVER OR A SOLUTION FINDER?"... that question is hard for me to answer...anyone can help with the difference between them?
i have a primary idea: maybe problem solver is the one who solve current problem,,and solution finder is the one who solves future expected problems..just a trial..help plz.

on the surface, a solution finder (at least to me) doesn't always fix the original problem whereas a problem solver resolves the underlying issue (the problem).
There can be multiple solutions to one problem, but only one problem to solve.

see, i always hated problem solvers, it implies a certain linear logic - which i abhor. whenever prof's in school referred to "design problems" i always thought they were assuming that there was a"correct" answer. i always chose to re-frame the issue as a challenge or opportunity. solution finder seems to fit my general vision of architectural issues.

architects are solution solver- only solve things that had already been solved.

I once over heard a boss say to an employee: 'I don't want to hear what we can't do. Stop causing problems, I'm the one that's supposed to cause problems, you're supposed to solve them.'
I actually thought it was a pretty effective management strategy.

Have a look at the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI and other personality trait standards.
Be aware though of the concepts of Reversal Theory. The wiki page linked doesn't really do it justice, but in essence, it means that your personality is not some internalised brick. It is fluid, not just throughout life, but in the course of a year, a day, a second, and it is that fluidity that is important. The ability to adjust your (self and your) position to the situation.
This could easily link to the never-ending discussion of Intelligence. Try Sternberg, and Gardner for some interesting and fairly valid frameworks.

I think a problem solver is specific
a solution finder is generic
