Vulcan Thinking.  Discipline has its place

If you have more confidence in your Vulcan than in your Tooth Fairy, here is a Vulcan plan for Idagrams. 

Arrange the key words in groups to put similar ideas together.  More than one grouping is possible.  Consider some alternative groupings.  Select the grouping that seems best for your goal.  Take the one group at a time.  Select a general name that applies to the group.  You can ask around.  Other people may see things you missed.    

For example, you see a china bowl, a plastic pail and a tin cup.  Your reaction is “They’re all containers.”  Can you think of other containers?  Of course.  So if one kind of solution to your problem involved finding containers, you might get some ideas from recognizing that you are interested in containers.

Once you have a sense of the type of contents for each group, ask:

What other familiar things belong in that group?

How do those things relate to my goal?

This method is genuine disciplined thinking.  The first step, moving from cups to containers, has a disciplined name:  Seeking the superset.  In other words. you look for a larger class that includes what is important to you and some similar things.  Some of those similar things will probably give you new ideas.

You can them look for several classes of things that are important in solving your problem.  You may find several ways of putting these things together for a solution.  This method also has a disciplined name:  Taxonomy of possible solutions.

You don’t have to remember the names unless you want to impress people.
