There are plenty of lists of thinking styles. I doubt that any of them are exhaustive or discrete. For example: Critical, creative, analytical, abstract, concrete, divergent/lateral, convergent/vertical. Or Synthesist, idealist, pragmatic, analytic, realist. There are lots of options. My point was really about awareness of the different styles and their advantages/disadvantages.
