When you are faced with a problem, what is your first action? Do you tend to follow the most obvious path or do you think of other alternatives – which are almost always even more creative – to get out of the hole? This is what separates a complex thinker from an ordinary thinker.
Those who think more complexly have a unique mind. They always try different approaches, which escape the superficiality of most people. After all, if the knowledge It has many layers, why stick to just one?

9 phrases that seem harmless, but are terrible; Do you say anything...
Below are nine signs that you are, in fact, a complex thinker. See if you identify with one or more topics.
You think too much
This can be good or bad. You are the type of person who considers every minute detail and does not make a decision right away. This is because it is natural for you to go over all possible scenarios in your head. It's a bit of a tiring routine, but for you, it's normal.
And question everything
For those who think more complexly, nothing is what they say it is. Everything is a reason to question. Not in a petulant way, but to understand if there was another path to follow.
You also see patterns that not everyone notices at first
Complex thinkers, because they see everything from another angle, are able to perceive some patterns that escape the unsuspecting eyes of other people. Like sequences of numbers, some recurring theme in a book – or the solution to a problem.
Things don't have to be black and white
Those who have this rhythm of thought are also very comfortable in understanding that there is ambiguity in life. Not everything is just good and not everything is just bad. Gray areas exist.
Diverse opinions are welcome
They also agree to receive opinions that differ from theirs. If you are a complex thinker, you certainly enjoy debating your point of view and understanding what other people think about the subject.
You feel everything – a lot!
If you fit into this group, you are also a more sensitive person. And, with this, you can have a better understanding of emotions.
Big questions are your fascination
Where we came from? Where are we going? What is the meaning of life? Who came first, the egg or the chicken? Big questions of humanity, like these, are always on the mind of anyone who is a complex thinker.
Quality > Quantity
For this type of person, going deeper into something is much better than saying they've done it multiple times. This goes for everything.
You understand that you are constantly evolving
Complex thinkers know that, as I said Raul Seixas, we are “walking metamorphoses”. Nothing lasts forever, and as we live, we evolve and change. And we need to be open to that.
