There are more types of thinking as well, most of which are even more abstruse than those listed here.

There's no reason to elaborate. Those methods of understanding the world of thinking have been presented only to show that scientists have been trying to help us analyze, organize, and possibly to understand our world, in the following ways:

• Creative thinking means that the person can find solutions to problems and issues in a new, intelligent, and often positive way. This involves a fine level of intelligence.
• Direct thinking is carried out in order to accomplish a certain goal, and without considering other issues.
• Directed thinking is influenced or controlled by another individual.
• ISBI thinking is not very serious. Those thoughts go through the head of someone who is not prepared to focus or not capable of focusing on serious topics.
• Twisted thinking is used by some people in order to achieve his own goal. However, since his thinking is not clear, he is unlikely to achieve that goal.
• Stubborn thinkers knows what they wants to achieve, but they are not open to suggestions, advice, or ideas from those who think in ways that differ from their own. A stubborn thinker may be right, he may be wrong, but it doesn't really matter.
• Vindictive thinking is dangerous. No matter what you do, the vindictive thinker tries to find ways to destroy what you are trying to accomplish. Vindictive thinkers leave you with a feeling that there is no way out. As soon as you make progress on one front, the vindictive thinker is working against it on a different front.
• Brainless thinking bypasses the head. Sometimes this is good. For example, you may type or use certain repetitive functions on a computer or you may drive without actually thinking about it too much. It comes naturally and the work goes through your fingers. Your fingers do the thinking and it bypasses the brain, so to speak.
  Of course the brain is actually being used in this, but there is a certain element of learning through doing and certainly through your fingers or through your actions, and if you repeat something enough it becomes second nature.

Of course, no article can list all of the possible types of ways of thinking. We can almost say that everybody has an individual, different, or unique way of thinking and approaching issues, and many of these ways are successful or justified. Some of the others are less so.

What is important is that if a person says that I’ve been thinking a great deal about something or I have given something a great deal of thought, that does not necessarily mean that the person has been successful in doing it in a positive way. A person might have been wasting a great deal of time doing something that may even look like thinking but it is not using proper or positive thought processes.

There is value in learning how to think in the right way or in the wrong way and someone who achieves the right end product does not have to think in the right way. But someone who does not achieve a successful end product after thinking and can be harmful to society or lead to improper thoughts should be trained how to think in the right way.

The end result is the key here and the analysis of the reason for the reaching a good or bad end result is less important unless the person needs training in achieving end result.

Our society has demonstrated that the negative or more pointless type of thinking possibly the ISBI type of thinking seems to be in the greatest demand and perhaps something that we can focus on in the future in order to improve our thinking is to change this situation so that we have a nation of serious good thinkers who know how to think properly and intelligently.
