Individual Models of the World

In a nutshell!

It is a recognition that we each experience the world differently.

People do not experience, or interact with, 'reality' for a number of reasons including:

• It is physiologically impossible
• Each person's our senses are developed to different degrees are are used differently
• A person's thinking 'filters' the incoming data from the world

Yet most people assume that everyone experiences the world exactly as they do - and build a lot of expectations and assumptions on this fallacy.

How to use this

1. Simply ask friends and colleagues about their experience - and note how that differs from your own.
2. Note the representational systems that people specialise in. Get to know someone who has more facility than you in a particular representational system and take the time to recognise how their descriptions of events differ from you own.
3. Listen to how people describe a situation or an event and to the (Language Model) presuppositions or assumptions in their descriptions.

Model of the World and the Language Model

In the Practitioner Programme we examine one of the most effective tools available for understanding another person's model of the world - the Language Model. This Language Model is also valuable in assisting a person in developing a more useful and reality-based model of the world.
