Natural Green Hat Thinker

Finishing reading the first De Bone book, Six Hat Thinking,
The realization was easy and simple: I am a natural Green Hat thinker. Now I wonder if other DBS members declared their personality in terms of the 6 Hats. If so, what are the benefits of meeting up as such? IE: Would other natural GH Thinkers have a good meeting of the mind or would it turn into a way too diversified meeting where not much would be done?
How about compatibility? The previous hats showed pairs: WH-RH, BH-YH, and now GH… BH show its pair but I am still digesting this GH chapter. So would BH thinker be the optimal match for GH thinker?

How is this colored hat compatibility show up in personal relationships? We already have this huge dynamics difference between the genders. Now on top of it the way we think….
Fascinating angle about relationship , I hope to find books exploring this deeper.

Comment by Zsolt Zsofka on April 9, 2012 at 17:44: Dennis: I not only welcome “bore” I like it. Yes, I agree with your aim to box in no one, yet the fact remains painfully obvious: individuals are one hat thinkers by nature or education or whatever influence they had in life. Reading the 6 Hat Book, I realized that while I am capable of using any and all hats along with other type of thinking methodologies, I am too dominated by a one or two hat type thinking. So my aim is to balance out thinking by developing this new (for me new) skill.
Thanks for pointing out the aim of not to be or to box in anyone.
Gender difference: You answered a question I long past solving. I am onto new territory there but it would be more fun to discuss it with women.
