Findings: Correlation values at the level of P < 0.05 showed a significant and positive relationship between thinking style and information-seeking behavior. The existence of such relationship between the male and female students was also examined. Based on the findings, it was concluded that regarding thinking style factors, on determining the thinking style to be legislative, anarchic or oligarchic, predicting the information-seeking behavior is possible.
