Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking

Hello !Hello! welcome back to my blog. (happy after Spain win the world cup 2010 :)well for the next topic I like to explain a little bit about creative thinking in Convergent Thinking and also Divergent Thinking that I had learned in my previous class.

Convergent Thinking

• From my studies , I believe that convergent thinking is just focused on solving problems that have a single correct solution
  

• For example , if we given a multiple choice question then we have to use convergent thinking because we only have to find the correct answer to that question.(single)

Divergent Thinking

• As what I know ,Divergent thinking can define as thinking outwards instead of inward.That mean we can able to develop original idea and come up with a problem solution
  

• For example, I took a story from Albert Einstein . Einstein asked himself what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. It took him many years of thought experiments, however the answer helped him develop the special theory of relativity.
