Mind in the Making Skill #2 – Perspective taking (Understanding others point of view): involves the intellectual skills of:
- Discerning how someone else thinks and feels;
- Assembling our accumulated knowledge of that person;
- Analyzing the situation at hand;
- Remembering similar situations;
- Recalling what others have told us about such situations; and
- Trying to feel and think as another person must feel and think. (p. 71)
