THINKING CHARACTERISTICS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN AN ADULT
Problems with abstract reasoning. Asks to see ideas on paper. Prefers hands-on ways of learning new ideas.
Shows marked rigidity in thinking. Resists new ideas or ways of doing things and may have difficulty adjusting to changes on the job.
Displays random, rather than orderly thoughts, in logical or chronological thinking. May have good ideas that seem disjointed, unrelated, or out of sequence.
Has difficulty synthesizing ideas. Pays too much attention to detail and misses the big picture or idea when encountering specific situations at home or at work.
Makes impulsive decisions and judgments. "Shoots from the hip" when arriving at decisions. Doesn't use a structured approach to weigh options.
Has difficulty generating strategies to use information and solve problems. Approaches situations without a game plan, acting without a guiding set of principles.
