This lens was created so that conceptual thinkers will see that they bear similar traits as other people who feel the same compelling desire for that "something". Examining this lens you will find that the scope of everything discussed delves deeper than the societal aspects, ideas, and tendencies of things.
The definition in which I provide of "conceptual thinking" may be different from what is generally known. I take the term "conceptual thinking" literally.
Conceptual Thinking Overview
Conceptual thinking is...
The ability to perceive and imagine, predict and hypothesize, and to conclude and reflect.
Isn't conceptual thinking just philosophy?
Conceptual thinking is one step further of philosophy. Philosophy, by definition is:
Investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, knowledge, or values, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.
While philosophy can lead to new concepts, it is more of explaining them and the explanation of why and how they work. Also, a conceptual thinker can be considered a philosopher as it takes understanding of other concepts to be able to create your own.
What is the point of conceptual thinking?
Conceptual thinking is what creates society. Our society's foundation is based off of principles, ideas, and philosophies created by conceptual thinkers while the rest becomes a product of society.
The easy and most common examples would be the type of clothes we wear today. These fashions were originally just concepts of the conceptual thinkers before they even came known to us.
People as a society become either too distracted with these ideas, concepts, and philosophies that they do not think twice about another possibility or they become too satisfied with the ideas and concepts given to them that they do not even question them.

Identifying Yourself As a Conceptual Thinker
It is important to clearly identify yourself as a conceptual thinker or not, as there is a distinct difference between the average person and one who is a conceptual thinker.
The average person does not have nearly the amount of questions and deep thoughts that appear in a conceptual thinker's mind. The average person is bored with concepts, ideas, and philosophies while a conceptual thinker becomes fascinated.
You can be a conceptual thinker but not an entrepreneur. Entrepreneur is a label for a conceptual thinker and therefore has its written definition which limits and puts a cap on what conceptual thinking really involves.
If you are a conceptual thinker...
You should have known by now that you are at least amibitous, intellectual, and independent.
If you consider yourself a perfectionist, entrepreneur, or philosopher, you are most likely a conceptual thinker.
