Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Correct. People with a strong knowing style tend to emphasize facts, details, and precise data analysis. They often are skeptical of innovation.
B) Incorrect. People with a strong planning style focus on agendas, rules, and routines, but don't necessarily insist upon precision about facts and data.
C) Incorrect. People with a strong creating style emphasize innovation and risk-taking, and are tolerance of rule-breaking even in the absence of clear data.
D) Incorrect. Accommodating is not one of the dimensions of cognitive style.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Whether you think information is true is not part of your personal cognitive style, rather, what is important is the way you act on that information.
B) Correct. Cognitive style refers to the inclination each of us has to perceive, interpret, and respond to information in a certain way. The three dimensions of cognitive style are knowing, planning, and creating.
C) Incorrect. Horizontal and vertical are geometric dimensions, but the two dimensions of personal cognitive style are the manner in which you gather information and the way in which you act on that information.
D) Incorrect. The manner in which others gather information about you is indicative of their cognitive learning style rather than yours.
