Hi everyone, so self-image advanced modules and test procedures for testing the psychological
bandwidth of where you are operating are basically a set of six testing worksheets which I use
to judge what exactly what is applicable for.
Well firstly what it's for is to understand and calibrate your mature adult or young adult
thinking styles.
So what is that we shall see in step by step.
Why is this required is as we grow and mature our thinking styles change our society circumstances
change our familial circumstances change and what we become as adult as a result of
our experiences with our family with our friends with our education and with the ever changing
scenario of the society globe country nation everything.
We become different individuals and this difference which separates us as uniquely individual
people becomes like a decider kind of it becomes a decider in the course of how you interact
with people how you interact with work how we interact with all your relationships the
intimate relationships of your life be it work be it family friends etc and so on so
forth ok let's take it one by one in this we are talking about advanced thinking styles.
So quickly go through it what is the advanced thinking style apart like I said advanced
thinking style are more for young and mature adults you have to have a certain maturity
in your age for your brain and your frontal cortex the physical brain to comprehend certain
truths or certain principles of life or certain things which work and which don't work and
so on so forth as you grow into your developing unique approach in various tasks situations
work engagement with people and so on.
So it is imperative that young adults should understand this what it is first and on our
own you will see it will become obvious to you how this affects every area of your life
and relationships it's very crucial.
Best questionnaire and reports are designed to help you understand which way you sway
which is your leaning ok where you going with your pattern of subconscious thinking and
is at a deeper level obviously than the basic one.
A simple test here will give you where you are now on a scale and some natural thinking
styles we consider five here five thinking styles in advanced mode and they are called
as functional forms levels scope and leaning.
So let's see one by one what they are.
Typical functional thinking style report looks like this it's got three slices of the pie
as you can see judicial legislative and executive.
This is a sample report this person has got the maximum percentage in legislative and
next highest is sorry highest is judicial and next highest is legislative so this one
is predominantly these two you can go even up to the extent of saying taking only the
highest but I usually consider two as a factor so as to give a kind of margin of error so
to speak.
What do these terms mean judicial legislative executive let's see the judicial means these
are the definitions the judicially oriented individual has a predilection for tasks projects
and situations that require evaluation analysis comparison contrast and judgment of existing
ideas strategies projects and the like this individual tends to be evaluative of others
sometimes on the basis of minimal information you see these kind of people as I keep speaking
you will see that you know these kinds of personalities it's just a personality.
Executive oriented individual has a predilection for tasks projects and situations that provide
structure procedures rules to work with and that although modifiable can serve as guidelines
to measure progress whereas the legislatively oriented individual likes to decide what
to do and how to do it and the executive oriented student will often prefer to be told what
to do and will then give it to his or her best shot at doing it well.
Legislative the legislatively oriented student or a person or a young adult has a predilection
of for tasks projects situations that require creation formulation planning of ideas and
strategies these are the ones who make good planners products and like this kind of a
digital likes to decide what to do how to do it rather than to be told what to do more
of an individual kind of a person right this is the first of the thinking type functional
thinking types.
Next we have typical forms thinking type report sample.
Now this has got four of the pie slices see what they are first is anarchic, hierarchic,
monarchic and oligarchic.
So what are these things so this individual has 40% the highest in hierarchic and the
next three are divided equal parts so what do they mean in definitions let's see them
briefly.
The form thinking types they are thinking in terms of form as the name suggests the
hierarchical individual has a predilection for tasks projects and situations that allow
creation of a hierarchy of goals to fulfill what is like a top down approach what is my
first priority what is second priority what is third and so on so it goes on like a priority
this individual likes to do multiple things in a given time frame but assigns differential
priorities for getting them done.
Hierarchic people tend to be adaptive in many settings where it is necessary to set priorities
for getting certain things done before others or where it becomes necessary to decide that
some things are more worthy of attention than others for the time being I mean they will
attempt to it later on they are good at this planning kind of thing I need to attend this
prioritizing basically the keyword there is prioritizing.
Monarchic the monarchic individual has a predilection for tasks projects and situations that allow
complete focus on one thing or one aspect at a time until it is complete.
A monarchically oriented individual is single minded and often driven he likes to finish
one thing before moving on to the next something like the autistic spectrum kind of they are
singularly focused on one thing and to the exclusion of other things right they are all
autistic to an extent but this is taking it to a little extreme monarchic as it suggests
is one directional.
Oligarchic the oligarchic individual has a predilection for tasks projects and situations
that allow working with competing approaches means opposing approaches with multiple aspects
or goals that are equally important this person can be having a lateral kind of thinking this
individual likes hierarchically oriented one likes to do multiple things within a given
time frame but has trouble setting priorities for which one which one gets done.
So this person can get mixed up of what comes first and what should I do next because they
are capable of doing all things all at once but obviously it is not possible in real life.
The oligarchic oriented individual does adapts well if completing demands are often roughly
equal in priority but has more trouble if things are of different priorities that is
where he relies upon the hierarchical one they are good at setting priorities see how
people work differently yet they can work properly as a team if you know what it is.
Anarchic the anarchic individual has a predilection for tasks projects and situations that lend
themselves to greater flexibility of approaches the word suggest anarchic means they are working
with chaotic situations great flexibility of approaches and trying anything when where
and how he or she pleases so they are very flexible kind of individuals this individual
tends to be a systematic or even anti systematic the individual tends to take on random approach
to a problem and he sometimes difficult for other people to understand it is not that
they are wrong it is difficult for people to figure out who are always in procedures
or the top three types here okay next one levels thinking this is typical sample of
the report so we have two only here one is global and one is local this is easy to understand
this person here in this sample report has got 69% score on that meaning this person
has more global approach and local approach it is very obvious but let us look at the
definitions the level thinkers types local who is a local kind of a thinker the local
individual has predilection for tasks projects and situations that require engagement with
specific concrete details this individual likes to work with nitty gritty but may lose the
forest for the trees meaning he is focusing on the large picture not the details individuals
displaying this style tend to enjoy tasks that require them to keep track of details
and focus on concrete specification of a situation okay they are very localized in that situation
global ones on the other hand take the overview so the global individual has a predilection
for tasks projects and situations that require engagement with large global abstract ideas
this individual can deal with big ideas but sometimes can lose touch with details this
is something similar to the subconscious patterns we saw in basic where the person is more global
minded and more local minded right or chunk size large chunk size and smaller chunk size
of assimilating see the similarity there the individual may see the forest but lose track
of the trees one loose one focus more on trees and lose track of the forest opposite people
employing this style enjoy tasks that encourage them to think about major ideas they do not
have to worry about details they are the large planners they are the global thinkers the scope
thinking what is typical scope thinking the report looks like this again we have only
two slices of the pie as you can see external or internal this person being more external
what does that mean the scope thinkers internal individual has a predilection for tasks projects
and situations that require activities that allow for one to work independently of others
this is something similar to the subconscious patterns of working solo okay this individual
prefers to work alone typically introverted and often uncomfortable in teams and groups
external individual has a predilection for tasks project situations etc that allow working
with others in a group there are more group people interacting with others at different
stages of the progress this individual prefers to work with others these guys make good team
players is typically extroverted and is very comfortable in group settings different type
of thinking there the next one is leaning thinking this is an example of a typical leaning thinking
report again only two slices liberal and conservative again we know all this from the politics
that goes on everywhere in the world liberal thinker conservative this person being more
conservative let's see how it applies to the thinking part of things at the politics side
of it the leaning thinkers liberal one is an individual who has a predilection for tasks
projects and situations that involve unfamiliarity going beyond existing norms rules procedures
maximization of change these are the people who crave change sometimes the individual
may prefer change simply for the sake of change bored with stuff even though it is not ideal
even though it is not even a workable situation this is why liberals can often be lost in
their ideational strategies in their head all the time not being so practical around it
people displaying a liberal style like a new challenges thrive on this ambiguity they thrive
on vagueness conservative the conservative individual individual has a predilection for
tasks projects and situations that require adherence to existing rules and procedures
these are the administrators the lawmakers the policy makers they want fixed structure
they want to run things in a proper fashion the individual likes to minimize change and
avoid ambiguity they always want to pick things they are the detailed people they want to
say well how do I go from point A to point Z here show me all the letters of the alphabet
you know let's go through it one by one let's make a proper procedure rule policy you know
all the rest of it
