Your personal cognitive style is based on which of the following two dimensions?

A) The manner in which you gather information and whether you think it is true
B) The manner in which you gather information and the way in which you act on that information
C) Horizontal and vertical
D) The manner in which others gather information about you and the way you react to their behaviors

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.
