Learning/Study Preferences for
(T)hinking Law Students
Adapted from Gordon Lawrence
People Types and Tiger Stripes 43 (1992).

Cognitive Style:
Thinking law students favor cognitive style that involves:

	making impersonal judgments,
	keeping mental life ordered by logical principles,
	analyzing experiences to find logical principles underlying them,
	staying from emotional concerns while making decisions, and
	naturally critiquing things, aiming toward clarity and precision.

Study Style:
Thinking law students favor study style that includes:

	having objective material to study,
	compartmentalizing emotional issues to think clearly on the task at hand,
	analyzing problems to bring logical order out of confusion, and
	wanting to get a sense of mastery over the material being studied.

Instruction that fits T's: Thinking Law students do their best work with:

	teachers who are logically organized,
	subjects and materials that flow logically and respond to logic, and
	feedback that shows them their specific, objective achievements.
