Methods The thinking styles of a total of 120 under-graduates of grade 3 and 4 were investigated with Sternberg Thinking Style Scale (Chinese version) by ran-dom cluster sampling. All statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software (version 20.0) by means of t-test, analysis of variance and rank sum test. Results The score of oligarchic style in traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and management students was (4.09±0.67), (3.64±0.50) and (3.72± 0.56) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The score of legislative style was (5.14±0.63) in boys and (4.90±0.62) in girls, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The score of judicial style was (4.46 ±0.56) and (4.23 ±0.62) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The score of monarchic style was (4.22±0.52) and (3.79±0.57) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The score of global style was (4.36 ±0.48) and (4.00 ± 0.63) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The score of internal style was (4.48 ±0.74) and (4.18 ±0.76) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The score of liberal style was (4.79 ±0.71) and (4.49 ±0.68) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The score of judicial style in undergraduates with and without parents engaged in health industry was (3.97±0.64) and (4.35±0.59) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The score of anarchic style was (4.39 ±0.32) and (4.06 ±0.50) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
