Personal Thinking Styles

Identify your thinking styles: What are your “primary” (highest percentile score) and “backup” (second highest percentile) personal thinking styles? Discuss how your primary and backup personal styles are manifested in your life and work. Using the style interpretations in the rationality test, describe the styles and give your perceptions about the results. Do you agree or disagree with them and why? What is your limiting (lowest percentile score) thinking style? How is this limiting your professional effectiveness? What can you do to nurture this style?

Impact on Management Style

What impact do your personal styles have on your management style? Explore and assess the impact of your styles on your effectiveness as a manager in terms of the four functions of management, listed below.
· Planning
· Organizing
· Leading
· Controlling
If you are currently not a manager, assume you are and predict your effectiveness as such.

Genesis of Personal Style

Critically evaluate and explain how you developed the thinking styles that were revealed in your rationality test. What role, for example, did family relationships, school, organizational memberships, culture, and so forth, have in shaping your personal style?

Conclusion and Reflection

Close your paper with a statement of at least one question or goal you hope your work in MGMT591 will help you to address and comment with a few sentences to describe the value of this exercise to your personal and professional development.
Good luck with the exercise!

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

Here is how much you scored for every type:
Doer: 50%
Analyst: 63%
Orator: 38%
Inventor: 88%
Original Thinker: 63%
For more details see below.

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.
