definiton of divergent and convergent thinking

convergent thinking is a term coined by paul guilford as opposite of divergent thinking. it means that you can give a correct answer to questions that do not require significant creativity, on the other hand there is divergent thinking and for answering a question you have to know the steps. as an example you have to know all the possible solution to reach one correct answer. so divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.

psychologist have found that a high IQ does not guarantee creativity. Instead, personality traits that promote divergent thinking are more important. this way of thinking is found between the people with personalities which have traits such as nonconformity.

Activities which promote divergent thinking include creating lists of questions, setting aside time for thinking and meditation, brainstorming, subject mapping

abraham Lincoln said that the best way to predict your future is to create it and i believe that without pain and sacrifice we would have nothing so we have to go for it and make our future and create it with sacrifices.

CreaTiviTy & innovation

Creativity is the generation of new ideas or a new way of doing things. creativity means that every things that you have done in past you are doing that in new way for example,studying when you are dancing or listening to music.

Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing something new, the realization of a creative idea in a social context. it means that you are making some improvement in everything with bringing or making something new. Innovation is a by which an idea or invention is translate into a good service for which people will pay. for making innovation you had to have a new idea and satisfy a specific need. Innovation involves deliberate application of information,imagination,and initiatives in deriving greater or different value from resources.

Innovation are divided in 2 categories,1.evolutionary innovation 2. revolutionary innovation.

Revolutionary innovations require a good deal of user-learning often disrupt his or her routine and may even require new behavior patterns. it means that user should have a good and open mind to deal with it and some times it may bring some new routine and new way of living in some one life.

NoVeLTy

creative process is including the new ideas solutions and the way we process them in our mind and the person who do that is creative person.The definition of novelty is the quality of being new.it means novelty guaranty that your idea quality and the way you want to make things,with novelty you will be sure that your idea is something new and no one used it before.we have to types of novelty (subjective novelty and objective novelty). Subjective novelty is the apperception of something as being new by an individual person or a group of persons,it means that one individual person or a group of persons think or feel that this thing is new and they made it as a new thing. also we have another novelty as i said named objective novelty.objective novelty is something that is new for the whole world and no one have ever seen it before. It is unlikely, however, that even the most knowing and knowledgeable person boldly say that he knows everything that was before and take liberty to judge things from this standpoint.
