I would suggest the existence of more shapes of thought than that. For example curvaceous thinking, which could set a course where suggestions are frequently taken in without judicial evidence, and a new conclusion is reached. This mindset seems to be the foundation of those who belligerently accept new information without checking on it's validity first. These are the sorts of people who create conspiracy theories, practice new age medicine, and defend blind faith.
I'm not really educated in philosophy either, but I do like a good think now and then, so I can't really judge your ideas.
BTW, I assume when you say "circular thinking" you don't, in fact, mean circular reasoning, as in the logical fallacy?
