Hee hee. Do I owe you money for the lesson? At least you didn't call me Grasshopper! I would caution you here though Brian, a lot of people wouldn't take too kindly to that--could come off condescending. I'm sure it wasn't meant that way. Just a friendly little people awareness tip.

I honestly didn’t give the statement ‘all true geniuses are visual thinkers’ much thought when I wrote it. I’ve never really questioned the premise. It’s actually not mine. I got it from Win Wenger’s The Einstein Factor –which I do not have with me at the moment.

What seemed an casual comment to you, to me deserved some words. How 'bout that whole "individual differences" thing, anyway?! I have Win Wenger's book somewhere, maybe I'll dig it out and scan for his ideas on visual thinking.

Tony Buzan talks a lot about thinking visually as well in regard to mind maps. Really, though, when I refer to ‘thinking visually’ it’s just “the opposite of thinking analytically.”

I've found visual thinking to be a wonderful asset that can be accessed readily through practicing mnemonics. At times, I've been amazed at the near-perfect visual recall. Now, I'm going for more consistency.

You mention in you’re your post that delta is purely visual.

Surely not! Did I write that?Groovy...



I paraphrased, incorrectly. Oops. The statement was 'theta is pure visual'.
