  • intuitors may be better at grasping new concepts and are often more comfortable than sensors with abstractions

  • What makes you global or not is what happens before the light bulb goes on.
  • strengthen your global thinking skills by relating each new topic you study to things you already know.
  • outline the lecture material for yourself in logical order.
  • you need the big picture of a subject before you can master details
  • get an overview
  • immerse yourself in individual subjects for large blocks
