What's described in the OP implicates on the ability of someone to solve problems rather than simply thinking. In this regard, my suggestion is:
- a thinker who focuses on the problem as stated and tries to synthesize information and knowledge to achieve a solution
E.g.
Having a fascination with the human body and how it works, combined with his problem-solving personality and attention to detail, gives him the perfect skill set
