Transcription:
We can think of the mind as being three parts. Number one is cognition. Number two is affect, what you feel. The third, that nobody has ever heard of is conation.
Conation is very interesting. Conation is your God-given, instinctive, genetically determined, natural style of solving a problem. Kathy Kolbe, this wonderfully brilliant woman from Arizona, has a whole test for determining what a child's conative style might be. If you are interested, you can go to her website at www.kolbe.com, and take the test. It's a true revelation. Your conative style. Your natural way of solving a problem.
