Preparing For Study-How People Think Whether you are taking online workshops, attending classroom discussions, or reading published documents written by Dr. King, it is necessary to grasp the following concept regarding how different people approach material and phenomena. At some times, the same person will use either or both approaches to understanding written material, especially those who have attended schools in western countries, such as the United States. The following two categories regarding how people think is a condensed version of many scholars, especially Dr. Edwin Nichols, an international organization psychologist. Dr. King has simplified a complex concept regarding how we can better understand others by recognizing which category they are processing information. Think on this because it determines how we interpret information...from the Bible...to hip hop...it depends upon how we think...and how we think others think. Exercise your mind...your heart will follow!
