Characteristics of a Foresight Thinker

Some characteristics of foresight thinkers to explore.

This post is my list of the characteristics I started developing in 2010 and have adapted over the years as I've continued on my foresight journey. The list defines the capacities and skills we need to develop to use our foresight when we are thinking about futures. I've divided the list into three groups: the first deals with cognitive characteristics, the second deals with personal characteristics, and the third deals with how we make our foresight 'real'.
