1. Divergent Thinking, ( in Thinkertoys and Conceptual Blockbusting )
2. Pattern Breaking ( in Lateral Thinking )
3. Movement: Actively explore different directions, avenues, perspectives and possibilities; ( in Lateral Thinking )
   
   
4. Associative Thinking, ( in Thinkertoys )
5. Analogical Thinking, ( in Conceptual Blockbusting and Thinkertoys )
6. Synthesis, ( in Lateral Thinking )
   
   
7. Creative Visualization (mapping, sketching, guided imagery, lucid dreaming),( in Thinkertoys and Conceptual Blockbusting )
8. Overcoming Mental Blocks, ( in Thinkertoys and Conceptual Blockbusting )
9. Challenge Assumptions, ( in Lateral Thinking and Conceptual Blockbusting )
   
   
10. Playfulness and Experimentation, ( in Thinkertoys. Experimentation and Prototyping, Conceptual Blockbusting )

1psolve1hr : span.doggy ol •   How will you define problem-solving shortly and "usefully"? ;-)

See Answer ✓ Problem-solving involves a combination of analytical thinking, creativity, critical evaluation, and decision-making to identify and implement effective solutions to complex problems.

Analytical thinking to UJCDS (Understand, Judge, Conclude, Decide, Solve problems) by:

1. examining information objectively
2. identifying key elements, ( patterns, connections, relationships), and implications
3. interpreting and synthesizing information or data


4. evaluating information objectively
5. considering multiple perspectives.
6. using logic and reasoning

Creativity to see more possibilities, more paths, more routes, more directions, more solutions.

Critical evaluation to avoid bad stuffs and bad people. ;-)

Decision-making to choose a reasonable solution and implement it.
