neutral  Attila Szabo: Approach is a very broad term and it is most frequently used in the meaning 'methodologies' rather than thinking skills. Also, it doesn't fit the CV context as it is used in (scientific) papers.

capacity for interdisciplinary thought


Explanation:
This how I would transscribe what the German word actually says, and it is not normally a word that can be used in the plural. Of course it can be used in ways not suggested by its "meaning."
