Thinking Style

Not only do we have our preferred learning and working styles, we also have our favourite thinking styles. Professor Anthony Gregorc, professor of curriculum and instruction at the University of Connecticut, has divided these into four groups:

• Concrete Sequential
• Concrete Random
• Abstract Random
• Abstract Sequential

Based on your answers, you tend to prefer a Concrete Sequential way of thinking. Concrete Sequential Thinkers tend to be based in reality. They process information in an ordered, sequential, linear way.

Each style can be effective in its own way. The important thing is that you become more aware of which thinking style works best for you. Once you know your own style you can then analyse the others. This will help you understand other people better. It will make you more flexible. And perhaps we can all pick up tips from each other on how to be more effective.

• Concrete Random
• Abstract Random

Based on your answers, you tend to prefer an Abstract Sequential way of thinking. Abstract Sequential Thinkers love the world of theory and abstract thought.

Each style can be effective in its own way. The important thing is that you become more aware of which thinking style works best for you. Once you know your own style you can then analyse the others. This will help you understand other people better. It will make you more flexible. And perhaps we can all pick up tips from each other on how to be more effective.

• Concrete Sequential
• Concrete Random
• Abstract Random
• Abstract Sequential

Based on your answers, you tend to prefer an Abstract Random way of thinking. Abstract Random Thinkers organise information through reflection, and thrive in unstructured, people-oriented environments.

Each style can be effective in its own way. The important thing is that you become more aware of which thinking style works best for you. Once you know your own style you can then analyse the others.

• Concrete Sequential
• Concrete Random
• Abstract Random

Based on your answers, you tend to prefer a Concrete Random way of thinking. Concrete Random Thinkers are experimenters.
