Concrete thinking is like doing a logic puzzle. You use the pieces of knowledge you have, and can explain step by step, or make a logical leap to how you came to a conclusion.
Abstract thinking is like a painting. It is full of feeling. The view of your painting, and the colors you want, are based on your mood, or the mood you want to create. Imagination is allowed to be free from things that make sense, and can create its own rules. Your conclusion exists because it can.
