What does it really mean?
Divergent thinking is
the process of
generating multiple
related ideas for a
given topic or
solutions to a problem
Convergent thinking
involves finding the
one “right” solution to
a problem
Let your thoughts flow free
1. How many uncommon uses can you come
up with for a toothpick?
2. How might life differ from now in 2050?
Reach THE Answer
1. Should I pursue a career in teaching or
counseling?
2. In what ways is Greek mythology similar to
Indian mythology?
“Creativity requires constant shifting, blender
pulses of both divergent thinking and
convergent thinking, to combine new
information with old and forgotten ideas.
Highly creative people are very good at
marshaling their brains into bilateral
mode, and the more creative they are, the
more they dual-activate.”
Source - The Creativity Crisis by Po Bronson and
Ashley Merryman
