The first characteristic of a
good thinker is having good analytical skills, meaning that the one is able to
think logically and support one’s beliefs with facts. Sally Ride has this
characteristic because of the fact that she was able to double major in school
so she had to utilize her analytical thinking in order to learn about physics
and gain more knowledge. Sally Ride definitely is an effective communicator. She
was the capcom for the first and second shuttle flights. Understanding and
resolving issues requires a lot of skills which Sally Ride has. The other
characteristics of a good thinker are: flexibility and tolerance for ambiguity,
open-minded skepticism, creative problem solving, attention, mindfulness, curiosity,
and collaborative learning. It is not possible to determine whether or not she
has all of these skills from this small excerpt. But, obviously she has
collaborative learning and a curiosity for the natural world. She was able to
apply her training and skills from her experience working with NASA and convert
that concept into children’s books.
