Prefers reality-based stories—events grounded in history, science, or biography. Finds comfort in factual order and tangible outcomes. The world’s complexity feels understandable when narrated through documented evidence.

Analyzes information chronologically, relying on textual proof—dates, sources, and direct quotes—to understand meaning. Trusts verified facts more than emotional or interpretive cues.

Nonfiction, biographies, historical reports, and investigative writing—such as Hidden Figures or Bomb—that follow a timeline and show human achievement or ethical struggle through real data.

Can find interpretive or philosophical reading uncomfortable. When a story requires inferring symbolism or emotional undertone, comprehension may flatten into summarization rather than insight.

Use textual organization methods—timelines, fact sheets, and citation logs. After mastering the factual flow, add reflection prompts like “Why does this matter?” to develop conceptual empathy beyond evidence.
