+ Advanced abstract thinking [ELI5]
There’s a famous puzzle called The Bridges of Königsberg, which is a great example of an abstraction. The puzzle was that there are two islands in a river, and several bridges connecting the islands. Could you devise a path through the city that would pass over each bridge exactly once?
If you go to the wikipedia article, you’ll see that the puzzle starts with a detailed map of the city, including pictures of buildings and whatnot. Next, that is simplified to just water, land and bridges. Next, it is further simplified to a few dots connected by lines.
These methods of simplifying the problem are abstractions that were reached by stripping away unnecessary details. First, buildings and streets were removed, and we were left with just islands and bridges. Next, even the islands and bridges were removed, and we were just left with dots and lines. These dots and lines are an abstract representation of the original problem. Once the problem version with dots and lines could be solved, it could be applied to the concrete version of the problems, that is, the version with islands, bridges, buildings, streets, etc.

Time Strategy
Stability
Group Description
Prefer stability and regularity
Life Strategy
Careful completion of what started
Perception
Distributive. Perceive unevenly through ordered experience, putting some objects or states in the foreground and pushing aside others, which become mere background. Have the hardest time withstanding uncertainty, because they’re deprived of their point of reference – the ability to allocate forces and means to a specific goal. Therefore, they strive to move as quickly as possible to a stable state – either to return to the old one, or to move to the new one. The most organized and punctual members of society. Their share in the collective or social stratum can be used to gauge its stability and commitment to tradition. The things they surround themselves with are fewer than those of the Commutative, but they are maintained in greater order. They involuntarily pass everything newly perceived through their past experience – think by means of eidetic images.
Present
Group Description
Realize opportunities, achieving consumer prosperity here and now
Life Strategy
Realization of goals
Perception
Commutative. Very clear, concrete, and tangible perception, which is the closest to reality. In a situation of uncertainty, they are guided by their past experience or proceeds from standard scenarios of events development for these conditions. The world is a mosaic composition, where each pebble can be moved, but not thrown away. The perception of reality turns out somewhat flat, but detailed. They accumulate a lot of things in everyday life, but things are poorly ordered. Well oriented, quickly finding familiar objects or stating movements.
Future
Group Description
Selflessly build or conserve the future, neglecting inconveniences of the current moment.
Life Strategy
The pursuit of the ideal
Perception
Dissociative. Reductive perception – refracting any information coming from the outside through the prism of the basic concepts of their worldview. They calmly wait for the future, after having prepared for both positive and negative variants of the outcome of the expected event. The Dissociative are inferior to the Associative in terms of the number of ideas, but superior in terms of their ordering and reduction to a conceptual or “ideological” state. They involuntarily decompose the external picture and then reassemble it, drawing imaginary images that have no prototypes in reality.
Novelty
Group Description
Spontaneous and dislike regular work, do not value what they already have, seek inspiration in novelty
Life Strategy
Flexible adjustment to the world
Perception
Associative. Perception is carried out through arbitrarily generated images. A single detail of a perceived picture evokes an integral ideal image, associating it with its entire content. The system is not a hierarchical ordering according to any criterion, but a comprehensive network connection of everything with everything that has ever come into their field of vision. Good at foreseeing or anticipating the future – trends in events. Behaviorally ready for the most probable event. They have a large number of diverse ideas, but these ideas are poorly ordered, freely flowing from one to another.
