Quick Facts About HOTQuick Facts About HOT No one thinks perfectly or poorly all the time. Memorizing something is not the same as thinking about it. You can memorize something without understanding it. Thinking is done in both words and pictures. There are three main types of intelligence and thinking:
analytical, creative and practical. All three intelligences and ways of thinking are useful in our
everyday lives. You can improve your thinking skills by understanding the
processes involved in thinking. Metacognition-thinking about thinking-is part of higher order
thinking.
