Germanic languages and Alpha NT thinking

[Hope]

While in work and business, I've noticed that native speakers of germanic languages tend to assess through the use of hypothetical situations. For example, using or including a lot of questions based in hypothetical situations or information related to non factual content.

Does it means there's a prevalence of this kind of IEs or processing in those areas and culture?

Besides science, do you think this highly hypothetical kind of thinking, processing or assessment has any actual usefulness in practical fields/tasks or as benefit for companies?

Just to add context, my country has a notorious S preference in the generation and processing of information in formal and informal speech (likely ISxx, followed by xEE, SLE and IxI). Where the hypothetical language or the inclusion of information based in hypothetical situations rather than facts, experience and objects is seen as idle, delusive and impractical.

This is an interesting topic. I've noticed East Asian cultures (NOT genetics) are predisposed to Si/Ne and vice versa for Western cultures. And culture obviously influences languages so there's definitely a feedback loop of values. There's a lot of articles and blogs on abilities of abstract thought and its connection to culture. Will read them later and organize thoughts.

"Language may not determine thought, but it focuses perception and attention on particular aspects of reality, structures and enhances cognitive processes, and even to some extent regulates social relationships. Our language reflects and at the same time shapes our thoughts and, ultimately, our culture, which in turn shapes our thoughts and language. There is no equivalent in English of the Portuguese word saudade, which refers to the love and longing for someone or something that has been lost and may never be regained. The rise of saudade coincided with the decline of Portugal and the yen for its imperial heyday, a yen so strong as to have written itself into the national anthem: Levantai hoje de novo o esplendor de Portugal (‘Let us once again lift up the splendour of Portugal’). The three threads of language, thought, and culture are so tightly woven that they cannot be prised apart."

At least it seems like the perception of word formation seems to be tied to native tongue. It is like Germans think through flow of consonants kind of thing when they say something. I find this weird. How vowels tie things together seems much more importat to me. Also where I come from we can reformulate word order easily as we speak. It is not important to have a predetermined order. It is easy to juggle things around so to speak as we go.
