thinking skills [OPV] [other people's views]

OPV - other people's views Many thinking situations involve other people. What these other people think is just as much part of the situation as the factors, the consequences, the objectives, etc. These other people may have a very different viewpoint. It is a very important part of thinking to be able to tell how other people are thinking; trying to see things from another person's viewpoint is what doing an OPV is about. Another person may consider different factors, see different consequences, have different objectives or priorities. An Example A salesperson is trying to sell you a used sports car. The salesperson's point of view is to show how good it ls, how powerful the engine, the new tyres, how it suits you, what a good buy it is. Your point of view is to see whether it has been in a crash, how much spare tyres cost, how worn the parts are, how much fuel it uses, how it compares to other cars you have seen.
