After my last post my sister-in-law Marie Gieszelmann pointed out that the July-August issue of Smithsonian has a one-page article written by Temple Grandin. Those of you who subscribe to this magazine will want to check it out on page 10.
Grandin makes some interesting observations about the different types of thinking styles. She herself thinks in pictures, not in words. That is why she is so successful in her business of designing livestock facilities. She sees the whole project in her mind before she even draws it.
She says that "[I]n addition to visual thinking, there is pattern thinking and word thinking." Each style has its strengths, and, working together, they complement each other in accomplishing various objectives.
