In the university context teachers usually design different learning activities which may result in
unequal results. Among many others, one of the factors that should be considered is personal thinking
mode, which is related to the way each person reasons and learns. This study extends the results
about the thinking style of students obtained in a previous one [1], with more students and more
degrees. The thinking style has been identified with a simplified questionnaire based on the
Hermann’s four brain model in which four brain profiles are identified: A (logical), B (sequential), C
(interpersonal) and D (imaginative). Students from Journalism, Industrial Design, Business
Administration and Computational Math with Computer Engineer have participated in this study. The
results show that in the degree of Journalism the main profile is B nearly followed by D. In the degree
of Industrial Design Engineering the main profile is D. In the degree of Computational Math the main
profile is A. Profile B, is the most common in Business Administration. This results are compared with
previous ones and can help teachers to understand how their students think and, therefore, to develop
learning activities in a more successful way. [-]
