Abstract thinkers use analogies and metaphors to understand the world. They can read body language and generally are able to identify both verbal and nonverbal social cues. They can see the space difference in an object and envision what it looks like behind it without having to rotate the object.

Piaget distingue la «pensée concrète» de la «pensée formelle». La pensée concrète est déjà bien élaborée quand l'enfant, à six ans, aborde sa première année d'école primaire, et elle se renforce dans les années qui suivent. La pensée formelle, quant à elle, ne se développe réellement que lorsque l'enfant a presque le double de cet âge, soit environ douze ans, à un ou deux ans près - et certains spécialistes ont même émis l'idée que bien des personnes ne parviennent jamais à une pensée pleinement formelle. 2, record 15, French, - pens%C3%A9e%20abstraite
