Personal Thinking Styles

So what is your thinking style? (Requires your own calculation but it's pretty short...)

And here's some extended profiles


I win at... Concrete Random (56)
Abstract Sequential (36)
Abstract Random (24)
and lose at... Concrete Sequential (4)

 

[Silveresque]

Concrete Random: 24
Abstract Sequential: 32
Abstract Random: 32
Concrete Sequential: 24

 

[Such Irony]

Abstract sequential 56
Concrete random 28
Concrete sequential 20
Abstract random 16

 

[Evening]

Concrete Sequential: 4 (<-- I'm not at all practical).
Abstract Sequential: 36
Abstract Random: 40
Concrete Random: 32

 

[entropie]

Concrete Random: 40
Concrete Sequential: 28
Abstract Sequential: 28
Abstract Random: 24

 

[CuriousFeeling]

Concrete Sequential: 20
Abstract Sequential: 40
Abstract Random: 32
Concrete Random: 28

Abstract Sequential Thinkers love the world of theory and abstract thought.

Key Word: PROBABLE

What Do They Do Best?

Gather lots of information before making a decision
Analyze ideas
Research
Provide logical sequence
Use facts to prove or disprove theories
Figure out what needs to be done


What Makes Sense to Them?

Using exact, well-researched information
Learning more by watching than doing
Logical reasoning
A teacher who is an expert in his/her subject
The world of abstract ideas
Taking time to work through an issue thoroughly


What’s Hard for them?

Being forced to work with those of differing views
Too little time to deal with a subject thoroughly
Repeating the same tasks over and over
Lots of specific rules and regulations
"Sentimental" thinking
Expressing their emotions
Being diplomatic when convincing others
Not monopolizing a conversation


What Questions Do They Ask While Learning?

"How do I know this is true?"
"Are there any possibilities we haven’t considered?"
"What will we need in order to accomplish this?"

----

While I don't struggle with sentimental thinking and expressing my emotions, I think the rest of this is pretty spot on.

 

[Lightyear]

Concrete Sequential: 16
Abstract Sequential: 32
Abstract Random: 52
Concrete Random: 20

Totally. Am a people person who cares about everyone's emotions.

 

[Spurgeon]

Interesting test.

Concrete Random (52)
Abstract Sequencial (36)
Abstract Random (24)
Concrete Sequencial (8)

 

[rav3n]

Lazy (120)

 

[entropie]

60 is max... TJ's and math

 

[rav3n]

Ha ha...I just added up Luna's points, instead of taking a serious look at the non-automated test. So...busted!

 

[PeaceBaby]

Abstract Random: 60
Concrete Random: 56
Concrete Sequential: 4

i tied between abstract and concrete random.

 

[lunalum]

Let's just call it the Pure Random Type

 

[highlander]

48 - Abstract sequential (love the world of theory and abstract thought.)
36 - Concrete random (experimenters.)
32 - Concrete sequential (tend to be based in reality. They process information in an ordered, sequential, linear way.)
8 - Abstract Random Thinkers (organize information through reflection, and thrive in unstructured, people-oriented environments.)

I've done two Thinking Style quizzes and I'm pleased to find that I have ended up with similar results:

In the http://www.cgribben.com/psych/th-stquiz.htm quiz:

Concrete Sequential = 20
Abstract Sequential = 35
Abstract Random = 17
Concrete Random = 28

In the http://www.thelearningweb.net/personalthink.html test:

Concrete Sequential = 8
Abstract Sequential = 24
Abstract Random = 4
Concrete Random = 24

In both sets of results, Abstract Sequential seems to be my dominant style with Concrete Random as partner in crime. Both those descriptions fit me very well.
I'm a tad surprised at how low my Abstract Random scores are.

 

[Redbone]

Abstract Sequential: 56
Concrete Random: 40
Abstract Random: 12
Concrete Sequential: 12

From the first link:

CS 21

Oh yeah, I did this on another website
I got abstract random (high score)
abstract sequential and concrete random (medium scores/ about the same- though concrete random probably should have been higher)
and lastly, concrete sequential- (low score)

Concrete Sequential (CS): 16
Abstract Sequential (AS): 48
Abstract Random (AR): 16
Concrete Random (CR): 32
