Think about how some people are _really_ good at analogies. They’re able to find hidden connections between two contrasting subjects.

– “Abstract” implies you’re taking a different approach to a thought.

– “Reasoning” implies you’re using it to build understanding of the original idea.

Using abstract reasoning, we’re able to take complex concepts and relate it to something that we’re used to seeing.

Many intelligent people LOVE to use analogies in teaching to express an idea/concept to a crowd. Which is why IQ tests look for people’s ability to think differently for better understanding.
