THINK ABOUT IT Scenario Thinking Style Planning a "Road Trip" Linear Thinkers will plan out every detail of the trip (i.e. location of gas stations, roads to travel, items to bring, etc.). Global Thinkers will get in the car and drive. Assembling Furniture, Toys or Electronics Linear Thinkers will lay out all the parts (neatly), and read the instructions carefully before starting the assembly. Global Thinkers will look at a picture of the assembled product, and then try to put it together like a jigsaw puzzle (i.e. "this piece looks like it fits here, this piece goes over here...").

I startedd laughing when I read this, linear thinkers will plan out every detail of the trip. This is so me I write list for everything and check them off, I happen to be planning a birthday party tonight for family and I have started checking off the list for todays activities, I started the list days ago in preparation for today. I guess I am linear. What are you?

So, you should also try to recognize the learning and thinking style of the people you speak (or write) to. Essentially, you need to hit the hot buttons of the people you communicate with (e.g. provide details to a linear thinker or describe the big picture to a global thinker).
