Thinking types:

 Absolutist thinking: the belief that only one claim can be right, (and most of the time, it is mine!)
Multiplist thinking: the belief that more than one claim could be right—it's just a matter of opinion. 
Evaluativist thinking: posits that assertions can be evaluated in terms of both logic and evidence.  
Whether we are monitoring various news sources or scrolling through a busy social network feed, we are constantly encountering diverse viewpoints about topics ranging from politics to films. Some of these topics carry infinitely more weight than others, but ultimately, we are using the same sort of mechanism when deciding how to make sense of contrasting viewpoints, based on our thinking type.
Where strict control over information, limited access to knowledge, limited real education and little exposure to the outside world are highly widespread, absolutist thinking would be more prevalent.
Multiplist thinking occurs in highly social beings.
Higher occurrence of evaluativist thinking occurs in people with special training like the scientists and  highly enlightened people who could overcome all faults in thinking. This is the highest form of thinking and only a limited number of people can achieve this type of thinking.
