From the moment we’re born, our perceptions of the world are highly visual. But as we get older, language begins to take precedence for most people. Visual thinkers excel in spatial tasks (like putting furniture together) and struggle with traditional education. These differences are often considered weaknesses, but they can be assets.
Problem Solving
Visual thinking is a vital tool for safety and risk management. That’s because visual thinkers can vividly imagine sequences of events that could happen, allowing them to spot potential hazards and practical solutions. Their insights help prevent disasters, ensure attention to detail, and handle emergencies faster and better. If you aren’t a visual thinker, make sure you have one on your team!
