A Fun Exploration of Thinking Styles
Welcome!
Ever notice how people think differently about the same situation?
- One friend makes a color-coded plan for a trip.
- Another just books the first cheap flight they see.
- Someone else flips a coin and goes with the flow.
That's thinking style (a.k.a. cognitive style) - your natural way of solving problems, making choices, and navigating life.
This activity gives you a playful peek into your style.
No right or wrong answers - just how your brain loves to do its thing!
How to Play
You'll see everyday scenarios (like planning a trip or picking dinner).
For each one, pick the option that feels most natural to you.
Don't overthink it - go with your gut!
No right or wrong answers - just your style shining through
At the end, you'll get a playful snapshot of your thinking style.
