Introduction

So often we find it easier to avoid challenges and risk-taking. This can be especially so when we have been told since we were small, that we have some form of disability or lack an ability that others have. The irony is that so many visual-spatial thinkers fall into this trap, seeing themselves as 'less than' the majority of auditory-sequential thinkers when, in fact, they have a most powerful way of thinking that suits our current world environment.

In this article we will look at what makes visual-spatial thinking so powerful and explore ways that we may use it in the world. The article will cover:
- what is thinking
- the three ways of thinking
- how visual and auditory thinking works
- some characteristics of visual-spatial thinking
- strategies for using strength in visual-spatial thinking, and
- some careers that suit visual-spatial thinkers.

This article celebrates our special gift of visual-spatial thinking and encourages us to continuously explore ways of applying it to life.
