I am downright cognitive, so?

One day, about a year ago, someone told me that I am a cognitive person. I am not too sure what was implied, whether what I have is all in the head and less in the heart or just the fact that I think through things a lot (which a lot of my good friends already know). Later, someone else told me that I need to transfer what I have in the head to the heart. Again, I took it in constructively because the words were given to me in a very positive manner.

It all comes back to me now in light of the Basic Life Principles seminar which is happening in town. Aside from the fact that I would not be able to make it, I began checking them out:

Institute in Basic Life Principles
Basic Life Principles – seven universal principles in life
Exegeting Bill Gothard – three Christian apologists evaluate the conference speaker's life and teachings

I have this belief that we learn things differently, and I have a strong preference to the more cognitive way. I do not like to be told what to do. I prefer to work it out, through prayer and study of Scriptures, and then do. Which is why self help books and seminars like that of the above do not appeal to me.

I'd rather go re-sit Elementary Greek, which some of my friends are doing now.

But, I still ask the question: am I missing something here?
