Strategies for Asking Questions, Making Decisions, and Solving Problems
There are five kinds of thinkers. What kind are you? Most people think about things in only one way. Yet there are different types of thinking for different situations. Learning to distinguish and choose the right style of thinking is an art that can enhance your success, help you achieve your goals, influence others and avoid making errors. There are five basic styles of thinking:
The Synthesist: Sees likeness in apparent unlikes, seeks conflict, interested in change
The Idealist: Welcomes broad range of views, seeks ideal solutions
The Pragmatist: "Whatever works", seeks shortest route to payoff
The Analyst: Seeks "one best way", interested in scientific solutions
The Realist: Relies on "facts" and expert opinions, interested in concrete results.
Including a special test to determine your own style of thinking.
