How do you know if one is good at abstract thinking? I'm self evaluating myself if I can do pure maths in college, so any advice would be appreciated.

Abstract thinking is the ability to think creatively and conceptually, and to understand complex ideas and relationships. It involves thinking beyond the literal and concrete, and using imagination and intuition to solve problems and generate ideas.
Some people may have a natural inclination towards abstract thinking, but it can also be developed through practice and exposure to new ideas and concepts. It involves a combination of nature and nurture.
People who are good at abstract thinking tend to be curious, open-minded, and imaginative. They are able to see the big picture and think outside of the box. They may also excel in fields such as art, design, and science.
One way to improve abstract thinking skills is to engage in activities that challenge your creativity and problem-solving abilities, such as puzzles, brainstorming, and creative writing. Also, exposing yourself to new ideas and perspectives can help broaden your thinking.
Abstract thinking is often associated with higher levels of intelligence, as it involves the ability to think critically and make connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. However, it is not the only measure of intelligence and there are many different types of intelligence.
