The five minds include the respectful and ethical minds, which are important for human interaction, and the disciplined, creating, and synthesizing minds, which pertain to cognition.
The disciplined mind involves mastering various ways of thinking and disciplines, while the creative mind involves introducing novel ideas or practices that are accepted by relevant communities.
The synthesizing mind is the capacity to take in and organize information from various disciplines or fields and is not easily explained by MI theory.
It depends on the quality of the questions asked and metaphoric thought, and it requires deeper understanding and handling of challenges to be considered legitimate.
