White Hat – Information thinking: What information would we like to have?
Yellow Hat – The logical positive: Optimism, looks for benefits?
Green Hat – Creative effort and Creative thinking: New ideas, alternatives, puts forward all possibilities.
Red Hat – Intuition and Feeling: “My gut feeling is that it will/will not work”.
Black Hat – Caution and the logical negative: prevents us from making mistakes, points out what cant be done.
