Habit #6
Synergize

““Our traditional thinking is Our traditional thinking is concerned with: concerned with: What-ISWhat-IS. . It isn’t good at designing It isn’t good at designing What-CAN-BEWhat-CAN-BE.”.”

1. They are always WILLING to search for a better solution
![Page 11: Habit 6](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5550e976b4c905387d8b4dca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Are we caught in the
Intelligence Trap?
![Page 12: Habit 6](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5550e976b4c905387d8b4dca/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Unfortunately, many people with a high intelligence actually turn out to be poor thinkers. They get caught in the ‘intelligence trap’, of which there are many aspects.
For example, a highly intelligent person may take up a view on a subject and then defend that view (through choice of premises and perception) very ably.
The better someone is able to defend a view, the less inclined is that person actually to explore the subject.
![Page 13: Habit 6](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5550e976b4c905387d8b4dca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So the highly intelligent person can get trapped by intelligence - together with our usual sense of logic that you cannot be more right than right - into one point of view.
The less intelligent person is less sure of his or her rightness and therefore more free to explore the subject and other points of view.
