Are you a creative or rational thinker?

Hi folks, since school I found structured thinking very hard, let's say that math wasn't my forte :)

In my career as self-employed professional, I eventually realised the importance of organising my thoughts consistently.

It is difficult to explain though how one of my favourite topics 'strategic thinking' relies mostly on rational thinking.

About six years ago I discovered Design Thinking as a more creative approach to conventional business strategy making, and within a minute I was in love with it.

I define my work as Design Strategist my biggest challenge is to balance the rationality of the strategic process with the creativity of the design process.

What type of thinker are you? Can you share a story behind your way of thinking?
