Metaphors Are A Powerful Tool For My Thinking Ability-How About You?

I use metaphors and analogies ALL the time. They are practically second languages to me.

I developed it in high school when I tutored chemistry and physics. Since then they have been tools to help me understand and/or to explain to others everything from SPAM email to Aikido.

I don't know if its objectively a good strategy, but it works very well so I'm not going to try to loose a fight I seem to be winning - there's one for you right there. lol

Psyengine - Interesting post. Assuming the classifications you use are an accurate representation, I wonder if 'final' stage of being able to construct and consider 'formal' thought is a function of raw intelligence (however you want to define that nebulous term) or a function of education.

The comment seems to imply that industrialized nations are the only environment that allows an education level needed to nurture the potential for formal thought...... or does it mean that industrialized nations are the only ones that have take the time to study cognitive development in a scientific way where industrialization is not a influencing factor but merely an observation potential factor.

Curious to your thoughts since you quoted the various developmental stages better than any other post has.

Makes me wonder though - I've always thought that use of metaphor and analogy was as common to everyone as it was to me. It seems you are suggesting otherwise.

Not trying to make unfounded conclusions, just trying to make sure I understand what you are saying.
