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.
