    Convergent thinking

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Convergent thinking is a term coined by Joy Paul Guilford as the opposite of divergent thinking. It generally means the ability to give the "correct" answer to standard questions that do not require significant creativity, for instance in most tasks in school and on standardized multiple-choice tests for intelligence. [edit]Relevance Convergent thinking is defined as the kind of thinking that focuses on coming up with the single, well-established answer to a problem.[1] It is oriented toward deriving the single best (correct) answer to a question. It emphasizes speed, accuracy, and logic and focuses on recognizing the familiar, reapplying techniques, and accumulating stored information. [1] It is most effective in situations where an answer readily exists and simply needs to be either recalled or worked out through decision making strategies.[1] An important aspect of convergent thinking is that it leads to a single best answer, leaving no room for ambiguity. Answers are either right or wrong. Convergent thinking is also linked to knowledge as it involves manipulating existing knowledge by means of standard procedures. [1]

    convergent thinking involves combining or joining different ideas together based on elements these ideas have in common. In short, convergent thinking means putting the different pieces of a topic back together in some organized, structured and understandable fashion. Convergent thinking, then, is an essential part of the outlining and organizing process.
