Put on your thinking cap

 

Ever thought about how do you think ?

How do you evaluate a problem to come up with a solution ?

 

I never thought about these until recently.

I attended a course recently on how to think or manage thinking processes in decision making.

It defines thinking into 6 types of thinking basically, white, black, blue, yellow, red and green.

White – thinking abt information; No evaluation

black – judgement, must have a reason

yellow – positive, must give reason

green – new ideas, no killing of ideas allowed

red – gut feeling or instinct, no reasoning

blue – choose which hat to put on, one at a time

blue is the hardest hat to use because we need to consciously think about which hat we are using when we think about the idea or give our comments.

yellow and black hats are logical hats which helps us to give a reason to why this decision is good or bad.

This allows us to understand ourself better in how we think and also know which type of thinkers we are.

I try to be a yellow hat thinker most of the time because it focus on the positive aspects and what you focus on expands.

 

generally most people will use the red hat to make decisions because of lack of knowledge or simply because we follow our feelings more than our logical mind.
