Assimilator participant type

Participants whose dominant abilities in a conference situation are "abstract conceptualization" and "reflective observation". In terms of these abilities, they represent the opposite pole from the accommodators.[Advantages]

Creating theoretical models, inductive reasoning, assimilating observations into integrated explanations. Useful in a research and development arena.

[Disadvantages]

Less interested in people and the practical application theories. It is more important that the theory be logically sound and precise.
