Sequentially dominant thinking person
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Thinking styles are based on the idea that we use our intelligence differently. Elena Grigorenko and Robert Sternberg explain that a thinking styles is not a personality trait or indicator of your intelligence quotient (IQ), but an interaction of both of these elements.
Anthony Gregorc has worked on a theory of thinking styles since 1969 to provide a coherent framework for how the mind works.
Gregorc's model is based on the idea that there are different ways our minds can acquire and process information. He divides this into two main streams and four thinking styles:
Perception: This is how we perceive information.
a. Concrete: Using the five senses, perception is rooted in the real world of things that can be tangibly experienced.
b. Abstract: Going beyond the five senses, perception reaches to more intangible things that are not seen, like ideas, concepts and relationships.
Ordering: How we process information.
a. Sequential: People with a sequential ordering style like to organize information in a linear, sequential way.
b. Random: People with a random ordering style organize information into chunks that don't necessarily have a particular order.
When the brain processes information it will use one perceptual and one ordering approach. For example, while doing the laundry we will use a concrete sequential approach, while during a brainstorming process we will likely use a concrete random or abstract random approach.
Why does this matter in business?
While we all will use different combinations based on the task being done, many people either prefer or strongly prefer one or two thinking styles.
Since the thinking styles are literally a reflection of how a person processes information, understanding the impact this has on that person's thought process can help us communicate with them more effectively. This can greatly improve internal communications, customer development and customer relations.
Let's take a look at the four main thinking styles and what they can tell us about a person.
