4D Brain
The 4D-thinking model has been derived from the operational function of the brain. The thought behind it is that our reality is coloured by our own preferred way of thinking.
Every human being has one or more preferences in the way of thinking that are the product of inheritance, upbringing and/or environment.
One can broadly map out our preferences in the way of thinking by choosing two axes with different variables.
On the one side, there’s the horizontal axis that is oriented on people. On the other, the vertical axis puts the orientation on strategies (rational, future orientated) against a more pragmatic (intuitive) orientation on the ‘here and now’.
The axis that now has been formed, allows for four types of preferences in the way of thinking:
To start with, there is the rational analytical way of thinking that is placed diagonally opposite to the way of thinking that is oriented towards the human experience. A third way of thinking prefers conserving the status quo, while its diagonally opposite preferred way of thinking is mainly geared towards change.
