5 Types of Visual Thinkers
In this excerpt from the course Visual Thinking 101, learn how useful these skills can be in five big areas of your life.
With my friendly, green everyman named Ico, I talk about what who each type is and what kinds of work is made better, easier, and strong when you use visual tools.
As you watch, notice which of the types ring your bell, and which ones don't.
Life Shapers + Action Takers | Message Makers + Communication Shapers | Mess Wranglers + Complexity Tacklers | Knowledge Seekers + Lifelong Learners | Conversation Shapers + Change Catalyzers |
---|---|---|---|---|
Visual thinking for personal work and productivity | Visual thinking for communication | Visual thinking for mapping complex systems | Visual thinking for learning and teaching | Visual thinking for facilitation and collaboration |
How many types did you relate to? Which ones?
In Brandyworld, folks walk down the street thinking, "I am a visual thinker. How I am I going to use my visual thinking skills today?"
Look, I know that's just in my head.
My goal in defining these types was not to throw anyone into one of five buckets.
Instead, I wanted to give you a clear shape of how useful these skills are.
To help you see yourself as a visual thinker.
That maaaaybe you would walk down the street thinking about the next great thing you will do to improve your life as a visual thinker.
In the 100+ times I've taught these types live, nearly everyone saw themselves in two or more types.
We contain multitudes.
