thinking styles

People tend to think in one (or more) of the following ways:

  • REFLECTIVE - relate to the situation, tend to ask "why"
  • CONCEPTUAL - need to see the big picture, tend to ask "how does it work"
  • PRACTICAL - want factual information, tend to ask "how can we apply this"
  • CREATIVE - perceived as a "thinker" tend to want to know why

Which description/s fit you?

Can you try to think in one of the other ways about the issue?
Does this generate any new ideas?
