Conservatives and Liberals Do Think Differently

“Liberals tended more than conservatives to use insight to solve verbal problems in which you have to ‘think outside the box,’” Salvi said. “Everyday life presents us with a variety of scenarios where we are asked to solve problems analytically, others only with a spark of insight, most of them can be solved either way. In this last case, liberals are more likely to achieve the solution with an ‘Aha!’ moment, whereas conservatives’ problem solving approach does not prefer one style or the other.”
