Description

<p>This study attempted to develop a Representation Style Inventory（RSI）for measuring individual differences in the preference and experiences for object-visual, spatial-visual, and verbal thinking. On the basis of factor analysis, we obtained three factors in the questionnaire. A 10-item object-visual thinking scale assesses preferences and experiences for representing colorful, pictorial, and high-resolution images of individual objects or scenes; a 10-item spatial-visual thinking scale assesses preferences and experiences for representing schematic images and spatial locations of objects; and a 10-item verbal thinking scale assesses preferences and experiences for processing verbal information. Additionally, the RSI demonstrated acceptable internal reliability as well as construct and criterion-related validity. This study’s results showed that the RSI is useful for measuring preferences and experiences for object-visual, spatial-visual, and verbal thinking.</p>
