An example of abstract thinking would be seeing this paragraph as lines, shapes and patterns rather than as words. An abstract thinker may be able to pick out the key words faster, or maybe just the prettiest ones. The word "concrete" is beautiful if you just look at the shapes of the letters, and if you just listen to the sound it makes, without the meaning, it might make a nice name. =)
