I don't know if it's so clear-cut, Edge.
its not.
Sorry, i was leaving out bits of information. i dont think its box visual or box lingual/sequential, either. im lazy like that, sorry. i've read and beleive there are different strengths within visual thinking and most people dont have both. its split into creative and technical. if i find the website that gives an example i read i might post it. anyhoo, tehcnicals are better at maths, science and the like, they'll probably draw a description of something in a graph. creatives will draw it literally, their mind is like a movie. when they're sitting in physics and learning about acceleration, they're picturing the speeding car as the teacher descripes it, its even got a colour and a terrain. they have to see it acted out in their head to get it. if these people aren't good with technical visual reasoning, they might actually be bad with graphs and geometry, or they might jsut be slow as they need to adjust their thinking. i think the creative kind is usually preffered by females and technical by males. perhaps thats why, with the combined lingual and creative when-things-are-present-in-a-visual-way preferences, more females are creative writers and chronic diary users. there are also typically more female students in an art class and more male students in an advanced math class or a technical class.
I suck at techincal drawing, because I'm not clean with the pen/pencil and not good with the precise details,
that's just skill/practise. i meant knowing what an object would look like from alternate angles without actually witnessing it.
what's you're reasoning process like? are you like haphazard? i think i overlay the drivers’s point of view with the birds eye and relate them with each other. Like ive got one eye in the sky/above the map and the other on the road and they create a full image together like our two eyes do. I see them as the same thing.but I'm great at maps, better than everybody I know.
how is your visual memory? if i think back to a lecture from the previous day i cant remember a thing the lecturer said but i can remember the clothes they wore, the colour of the tie (if i paid at least some attention to it that is). my short term memory for words barely exists. often it takes me time to unscramble what someone has said to me. Probably why my bosses usually stop talking to me, boss: "edge mop aisle 5", me:
However, I hate visually-oriented school learning - when learning is structured it's always better for me to have words; OTOH "real world" stuff is much better when visually-presented (and I also believe school is completely useless)...most people are just mixtures.
OTOH? yes true, most people are mixtures. some are extremes who rely almost soley on one type of learning. so they should be pretty damn infalliable when it comes to that type of reasoning. ive known one guy to be fluent in both sides of the brain. he was very intelligent and with this added advantage (he was good at maths concepts, okay at art yet preferred expressing himself in words) he was rather brilliant. it seemed he was just teh right mixture. he didn't struggle with words or the tid-bit rules of algebra yet could grasp mathematical concepts and had a perfect auditory memory. he was a real middle-man, and all rounder. he wasn't an extreme visual, spaced-out scatter-brain nut like me because we figured things out in a very different way.
i dont think most people are particulary intense in their preference but are backed up by their less preffered. i think the school systems weens children off their creative style of thinking (notice how all kids love to paint and draw until they hit get older), and draws upon the antithical style of thought. but not all are able to use this type of thinking well and jsut end up struggling.
i think.
take no note of me.
