Talk about thought processes

What do you think? How do you think?

I often surprised by events. I need to think ahead more.

I accept other people's opinions too easily. I need to think for myself more.

If I have a problem, I like to talk it over with my friends or family.

If I have a problem, I prefer to think it over on my own.

I do things on the spur of the moment. I don't think before I make up my mind.

I'm not very good at thinking straight in stressful situations.

I always think twice before lending people money.

I sometimes think back to my time at primary school.
