Are you reductionist or holistic?
Are you reductionist (examining the parts of something to find out about the whole) or are you holistic (vice versa)? Both of these are very valid ways of thinking, and I wonder which is more popular.
Holistic for me............I mean the interconectedness of all things is such an easier way of thinking
, seriously I would imagine most ppl use both and probably more ways of thinking depending on what they are thinking about.
I think I use both in different situations. I try to be holistic when dealing with human issues (I fail alot) and reductionistic when working with equipment. Programming ....maybe a synthesis.
It's hard for me to say, because I use both ... depending on what I want to know exactly. I can't really tell which I use more either. Hrm, interesting question. If I can get a definite answer for you, I'll have to vote, but until then I'm pretty much on the fence.
