To explore the thinking styles of vocational students in Tehran, and their relationship with the basic skills in Information and Communication Technology, a sample of 250 such students were selected using a cluster sampling approach. Measures used were the Sternberg Thinking Style Questionnaire and the ICT Skills Questionnaire. The analysis of the collected data shows that the extent of basic ICT skills learnt is a function of three styles of thinking: administrative, judicial, and legislative. The data show that the learning of ICT skills is negatively correlated with the administrative style of thinking while its correlation with the other two styles is positive.
