Mindex: Your Thinking Style Profile
- 1. Mindex: Introduction The Mindex Model & Thinking Style Profile © Karl Albrecht International Introduction and Overview
- 2. What is Mindex? Mindex is a model that helps us understand minds - our own and others’.
- 3. What’s a Thinking Style? It’s your preferred wayof processing information Logical? Intuitive? Visual? Auditory? Conceptual?
- 4. Each brain is a unique biocomputer Each of us grows up to become a unique human being What Do We Know About Minds? With our own unique way of thinking . . .
- 5. We All Have Our Own Ways of Looking at Things
- 6. Our Brains Are Running on “Autopilot” Most of the Time
- 7. We All Have “Thought Processors” in Our Brains Our Past Experience Distorts our Perception “Lenses” We Accept or Reject Ideas Based on What We Already Believe “Filters” Our Assumptions, Beliefs, Conclusions, & Decisions Control our Learning “Templates”
- 8. . . . are often just differences in the ways people arrange the “furniture” in their heads Personality Conflicts
- 9. Can Cognitive Neuroscience Help Us Understand the Way We Think? Cognitive neuroscience is the study of how and why people think and behave the way they do.
- 10. The Original Brain Research?
- 11. Amazing Findings from Modern Brain Research CalTech, 1960s: “Split-brain” surgery Dr. Joseph Bogen, Prof. Roger Sperry et al. Bogen surgically separated the left & right cerebral hemispheres of epilepsy patients These “split-brain” people were studied by psychologists Conclusion: the left & right hemispheres work like two separate, complete, & different computers
- 12. Each of Us Has Two “Computers” in our Head (the Cerebral Hemispheres) Your Left Hemisphere is a “Digital” Computer It handles facts & figures, words, numbers, timing, sequences, procedures, logic, rules. It handles patterns, images, colors, sensations, spatial perception, sound, rhythms, intuition, hunches, interpreting emotions. Your Right Hemisphere is an “Analog” Computer
- 13. Your Thinking Style Listen Learn React Remember Organize thoughts Solve problems Decide Form opinions Plan Express ideas Is the Unique Way You:
- 14. Some people are more “left-brained,” or analytical, in the way they think. The Mindex Model refers to them as “Blue” thinkers. Others are more “right-brained,” or intuitive. The Mindex Model refers to them as “Red” thinkers. Left-brain vs. Right-brain Preference
- 15. Some people focus mostly on concrete (sensory) experience. The Mindex Model refers to them as “Earth” thinkers. Others prefer to think about abstract concepts and “theories.” The Mindex Model refers to them as “Sky” thinkers. Concrete vs. Abstract Preference
- 16. Combining the Two Key Dimensions of Thought,We Get Four Basic Thinking Modes: Left-Brain vs. Right-Brain Abstract vs. Concrete These thinking patterns are called “cognitive archetypes” It’s a bit like having four “software windows” in your mind

- 19. The Mindex Model Gives Memorable Names to the Four Styles Abstract Concepts Concrete Experience Left Brained Right Brained
- 20. You can estimate the Mindex styles of people you meet by noticing various cues: A New Way to “Read” People Facts vs. feelings? Details? Train of thought? Reference to processes, procedures Eye movement, gestures Use of language; figures of speech
- 21. Right Brained and Concrete “Here and Now” Direct Experience Uses Intuition and Hunches Oriented to Feelings and “Vibrations” Red Earth Thinkers
- 22. Blue Earth Thinkers Left Brained and Concrete Focus: the “Bottom Line” Facts and Figures Uses Linear / Procedural Thinking Oriented to Logical Outcomes
- 23. Right Brained and Abstract Focus: the “Big Picture” Dreams and Visions Uses Hypothetical / Projective Thinking Oriented to Possibilities Red Sky Thinkers
- 24. Left Brained and Abstract Focus: “The System” Diagrams and Relationships Uses Systematic Thinking Oriented to Structure & Order Blue Sky Thinkers
- 25. Each Person has a ”Home Base” Thinking Pattern Blue Sky Blue Earth Red Earth Red Sky
- 26. How Do You See Yourself?
- 27. Are You Trying to “Put Me in a Box?”
- 28. Mindex Validates Your Right to Be Who You Are No “best” thinking style NeuroPlasticity: we can keep learning & growing NeuroDiversity: many kinds of “normal” Multiple Intelligences: many ways to be smart
- 29. Can a Half-Day Seminar Change the Culture of the Organization? Maybe . . . “Wall to wall” training with the Mindex Profile can empower everyone to think more clearly and communicate more effectively.

Notas del editor
- Using the two dimensions of structure (left-brain and right-brain) and content (concrete and abstract), we have four primary combinations, or patterns. The Mindex model substitutes simple metaphors of color and direction, to make the theory easy to remember, and to minimize the “medical” or “biological” connotations of the terminology. The Mindex model describes left-brain thinking (structural, sequential, analytical, numerical, verbal, and elemental) as “Blue” thinking. Right-brain thinking (holistic, patterned, spatial, intuitive, and emotionally referenced) as “Red” thinking. The dimension of concrete vs. abstract thinking becomes “Earth” and “Sky” respectively. No one of these patterns is “better” than any other. Everybody uses all four patterns. However, most people tend to develop a preference for one pattern as a kind of “home base” for their thinking. We can think of these four patterns as working somewhat like software “windows” on our computers; each window does something different with the information.
- This discussion can help participants understand that they’re constantly receiving the signals that indicate the cognitive patterns of others. You may find it helpful to elicit most of the information from the participants rather than offer it yourself. This reinforces their ownership of the model, and validates the basic concepts in their personal experience.

- Using well-known people, celebrities, and public figures as examples of cognitive styles can help people anchor their knowledge in their own experience, and to see the effects of thinking patterns in the popular culture. The Star Trek characters can serve as useful - although stereotyped - models of thinking patterns. Captain Kirk is the Red Earth leader: practical, down to earth, action oriented. [This is the preferred stereotype of the strong leader that occurs most often in movies, TV dramas, and most adventure literature.] Mr. Spock is the quintessential Blue Earth: logical, literal, practical, organized. [Highly intelligent, analytical characters are seldom the primary heroes in popular fiction; they are typically stereotyped as useful but peculiar, and often socially incompetent.] The Doctor - “Bones” - represents the Blue Sky pattern: intellectual, cerebral, educated, reflective, scholarly. Kirk’s successor, played by actor Patrick Stewart, represents the Red Sky pattern: visionary, conceptual, less impulsive. You may want to discuss the impact of stereotypes like these.
