Different Types of Thinking

There are numerous factors that affect how people think about things. Everything from personal experience to cultural impact can be factors in how a person thinks. Understanding how these factors impact a persons thinking is essential to having a better grasp on how to relate to and work with individuals. To know the difference in thinking types is to understand how someone responds to and comprehends information.

Within my current employer the leadership staff went through a day long training on personality types. The goal was to get a better understanding of how each other thinks about the decisions they make and why they respond the way they do. One of the interesting things that came of the training was the realization that some people, who seem so different, have similar personality types. Knowing this information helps each of us to work on our weaknesses individually and also to appreciate the differences in others.
