A non-linear thinker tends to go off on tangents and everything tends to connect to each other like a puzzle to a non-linear thinker. A non-linear thinker would think of problems has having a lot of solutions to it. I can tell just with how you wrote your paragraphic that it does sound like your a linear thinker.

It feels like an insult to me - he might as well tell me I'm fat. I don't know what evidence he has to support that's how I think. He associates his conclusion with my habits of writing project plans before I do a project, being thorough on an assignment, and preparing communications that are upfront and direct to audiences technical readers (whom I have found appreciate you getting to the point and eliminate fluff." I have been recognized for creative problem solving for many years too. I don't see how this equates w linear thinking. How do I break out of this? What do I need to change?
