These fourteen categories reflect an individual’s systems thinking capacity indealing with complex system problems. The first pair, level of complexity (C-S) describes anindividual’s comfort zone for engaging complex system problems. The second pair, level ofautonomy (G-A), describes an individual’s inclination in dealing with integration of multiplesystems or internal systems. For instance, (G)-type systems thinkers focus more on applying aglobal perspective and treat the system as an integrated unit.
