The instruments used for the study were the questionnaire Sternberg’s Thinking Style - Wagner Short Form, and the Socioeconomic Scale. The results show that thinking styles are rated as legislative, external and liberal, while less valued styles are style oligarchic, internal and the conservatives. Differences were found between students of different socioeconomic levels in terms of thinking styles legislative, executive, monarchist, anarchist, hierarchical, oligarchic, global, local, internal, external, liberal and conservative.
