Types of Thinking Test: Concrete, Analytical, Abstract, Logical, Imaginative, Creative

This test analyzes the way you think.

There are five types of thinking: concrete (The Doer), analytical or abstract thinking (The Analyst), logical thinking (The Orator), imaginative (The Inventor) and creative (The Original Thinker).

In most cases, people have one predominant type or preferred type of thinking, and they use other types to some degree.

Having several well-developed thinking styles helps you perform a wider range of tasks and gives you more career choices.

On the other hand, if you are like most people and have only one preferred thinking style, knowing it will help you choose a career that suits your natural abilities.

The Doer: Concrete Thinking

You tend to thinks in practical, actionable terms.

Artisans, athletes, and anyone who produces anything tangible need this type of thinking.

Doers contribute to the world by bringing thoughts and ideas together and making them a reality.

The Analyst: Analytical and Abstract Thinking

You tend to think in abstract terms.

This type of thinking is essential for mathematicians, economists, programmers, scientists, and, obviously, analysts.

These people can process information in the form of codes and complex symbols — something you can’t see or touch.

Many scientific discoveries were possible because of this ability.

The Orator: Logical Thinking

You tend to think in terms of words and logic.

Good writers, journalists, translators, and teachers typically belong to this type.

Orators can form ideas and then deliver these ideas to others in a clear and logical format.

This ability is especially crucial for leaders, politicians, and activists. (You may also want to take this leadership test.)

The Inventor: Imaginative Thinking

You tend to think in terms of images.

People who belong to this type have a rich imagination that allows them to imagine things they haven’t seen — either because it’s something from the past or because it’s something that never existed — and express it in their work.

Successful architects, designers, artists, and screenwriters usually belong to this type.

The Original Thinker: Creative Thinking

You have a rare and valuable ability to think creatively.

Creative thinking is the ability to look at problems and situations from a different perspective and find unusual and often surprising solutions.

Creative thinking is a rare skill and is needed in all types of work.
