<span id="Een_continuüm_zoals_IQ"></span>
== A continuum like IQ ==

Just like with an IQ distribution, there is also a distribution in context sensitivity.
Some are strong in [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|complex thinking]], others are weak in complex thinking.
Most people are in the broad middle of the Gaussian curve.

== The tree as a metaphor ==

Context is not a one-dimensional given.
Just as the branches of a tree grow in all directions, context sensitivity can also differ per domain.
For example, someone can think very contextually in social situations, but rather concretely and linearly in organizational matters.

<span id="Graden_van_denken"></span>
== Degrees of thinking ==

We distinguish three levels:
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|1st-degree thinking]]: linear and concrete
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|2nd-degree thinking]]: thinking about how another thinks
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|3rd-degree thinking]]: thinking about how another thinks, who thinks about a third

From 2nd-degree thinking onwards, we speak of [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|complex thinking]].

<span id="Complex_denken"></span>
== Complex thinking ==

Complex thinking is the ability to integrate multiple perspectives, time layers, and consequences into the interpretation of a situation. See [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|Lexicon#Complex thinking]] for the full definition.

<span id="Spectrum_van_laag_tot_hoog"></span>
== Spectrum from low to high ==

On the left side of the spectrum is [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|context blindness]]:
* interpreting information mainly literally and concretely
* a lot of attention to details, less to coherence
* missing social and emotional signals
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Transactioneel handelen|transactional behavior]]

On the right side is [[Special:MyLanguage/Lexicon#Complex denken|high-contextual thinking]]:
* making connections between the present, past, and future
* understanding nuance and undertones
* considering others' perspectives
* strong in systems thinking and long-term thinking
