I would imagine that the N factor would be the case as I think that is the abstract thinking vrs concrete thinking, isn't it. Had to go to my ole' alma mater yesterday and talked to one of my mentors--he is now dean of graduate studies and we started talking about this stuff. He is an NF too so you know how abstract we were getting. Poor Ed, he is an SF. The learning stuff I pulled from the net really picked up on the aural learning aspect of the NF personality. I should go back in and get the other three temperaments so I can compare them easily. The majority of my students last year in Psych were ESTJ's and were majoring in nursing or criminal justice.

Mind Mapping was Re: LI Flying Saucers
Hi Bill and Doc It seems mind mapping is a new tool to teach creative thinking. One site with a pretty picture is www.aws.com.sg/mind.html. You start out with a subject--the central image You then map the main themes (main branches) which radiate from the central theme. Next you link minor thems to main themes All the branches are then connected froming a nodal structure. I attached the file--it is html though. jackief William J.

Mind Mapping is a powerful technique that allows you to make the best use of your brain power. Developed by Tony Buzan, the Mind Mapping technique harnesses the full range of your cortical skills, making you more productive and creative. A Mind Map uses words, lines, logic, colours and images to stimulate your brain. It has four important characteristics: (1)The subject is represented by a central image. (2)The main themes of the subject radiate from the central image as main branches. (3)Minor themes are linked to the main themes. (4)All the branches are connected forming a nodal structure. Here is an example of a Mind Map. Click on it to see how it was created. The Mind Mapping technique is like a Swiss-army knife of the brain. It can be used in many applications, from brainstorming to public speaking to studying. Through its radiating structure, a Mind Map lets you roam the infinite expanse of your mind, expanding and exploring ideas while maintaining a clear focus on the subject. Is Mind Mappingapplicable in working life? Mind Maps are used by millions of people around the world. Boeing Aircraft Corporation in Seattle condensed its Aircraft engineering into a 25-foot long Mind Map to enable a team of aeronautical engineers to learn in a few weeks what would have taken a few years. The result: an estimated saving of $10 million. In training, British Petroleum and Digital Equipment use the techniques extensively in their staff training programs. If you are looking for a short-cut to improving your performance at work, try a Mind Map. The Mind Mapping Workshop Unleash the full potential of your brainand gain a competitive edge!

So we would certainly pose not threat to them. Now, consider what WE would do if we encountered a world with life forms that are far inferior to us. Would we simply observe and leave them alone? I dont' think we would. IMO, we WILL have a major contact some time in the future. And it will be with a civilization that has a space vehicle as its world and will carry beings that have evolved on this space vehicle over an inredibly long period of time. After all, we could consider our own world a space vehicle that we do not have control over and that travels in an elliptical orbit around the sun.
