Perceptual and Organizational Styles

Perceptual and organizational styles are closely aligned; therefore, they are shown together in your profile results — your highest perceptual style is combined with your highest organizational style.

Perceptual Styles	Concrete	You perceive information through real objects and real life experiences.
	Abstract	You perceive information through symbols, numbers, words, and concepts.
Organizational Styles	Sequential	Your brain organizes what you perceive through step-by-step, methodical, logical organization.
	Global	Your brain organizes what you perceive through non-linear, flexible, free association, and big picture organization.

You can think of these styles as the ways your brain notices and files information. Read a description of your combined perceptual/organizational styles:

	Concrete	Abstract
Sequential	Concrete Sequential (CS)	Abstract Sequential (AS)
Global	Concrete Global (CG)	Abstract Global (AG)

Note: If you are equally strong in two styles, such as Sequential and Global organizational styles, with a preference in one perceptual style, such as Abstract, be sure to read suggestions for both Abstract Global and Abstract Sequential combined styles.
