Intellectual Styles of Bosnian Students: A Cross-cultural Perspective

In this paper the focus is on the intellectual styles of the Bosnian students which are presented through the prism of the Threefold Model of intellectual styles. The participants, 45 graduate students, completed the Bosnian version of the Thinking Styles Inventory (TSI). The results showed the following: a) acceptability, the three-dimensional structure of TSI, which is in line with contemporary research on intellectual styles, b) dominance of Type I, creativity-generating intellectual styles on norm-favoring, the Type II intellectual styles. The implications of these findings from the cross-cultural standpoint are discussed in this paper.
