Divergent Thinking Mode
Convergent Thinking Mode
Out-of-the-box thinking -
thinking that moves away in diverging directions so as to involve
a variety of aspects and which sometimes lead to novel ideas and
solutions; associated with creativity.
Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to
generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.
Divergent thinking typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-
flowing manner, such that many ideas are generated in an
emergent cognitive fashion.
Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time,
and unexpected connections are drawn. After the process of
divergent thinking has been completed, ideas and information are
organized and structured using convergent thinking.
Thinking that brings together information focused on
solving a problem (especially solving problems that
have a single correct solution)
Convergent thinking is the type of thinking that focuses on
coming up with the single, well-established answer to a
problem.
It is oriented toward deriving the single best, or most often
correct answer to a question. Convergent thinking
emphasizes speed, accuracy, and logic and focuses on
recognizing the familiar, reapplying techniques, and
accumulating stored information
