In your description there also seems to be an element of "big chunking" and "small chunking" (i.e. preference for overview or detail) As you say, it's useful to be able to do both. And "lumpers" and "splitters" is a much handier way of describing them! bst rgds In NLP preferred patterns of thought such as “lumping” and “splitting” are called “meta-programs” - these two are also called “sort for similarity” and “sort for difference” - they are perceptual filters that affect the way we see things.

I'd say I'm a sort of non-archist. I’m not a lumper, but I surely ain’t no splitter. I’d say I’m a sort of non-archist.
