Intellectual styles are individuals' preferred ways of using their
abilities. This book provides the first comprehensive and
systematic review of existing research on the value and
desirability of different intellectual styles. By critically
analyzing findings from hundreds of international studies
undertaken over eight decades, Li-fang Zhang demonstrates that the
creativity-generating Type I styles are generally superior to the
norm-conforming Type II styles in relation to a wide range of
learning processes and developmental outcomes, work performance,
physical and mental health, and many other domains of people's
lives. She further demonstrates that people explicitly and
implicitly express their preference for Type I styles over Type II
styles. Professor Zhang elucidates the practical value of
cultivating diverse intellectual styles, especially Type I styles,
in both academic and nonacademic settings, and lays the groundwork
for future research to advance the field of intellectual styles and
to inform scholarly work in other academic disciplines.
