* '''Divergent Thinking''' — A thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.
* '''JP Guilford''' — The psychologist who first defined "Divergent Thinking" as a core part of human intelligence.
* '''The Four Pillars of Divergent Thinking''':
# '''Fluency''' — The "Total Number" of ideas you can generate.
# '''Flexibility''' — The "Number of Categories" your ideas fall into (e.g., using a brick as a "Tool" vs. using it as "Art").
# '''Originality''' — The "Uniqueness" of the ideas (how many other people thought of it?).
# '''Elaboration''' — The "Detail and Depth" of the ideas.
* '''Convergent Thinking''' — The opposite process: narrowing down many ideas into the "Single Best" one using logic and criteria.
* '''Alternative Uses Test''' — A famous creativity test where you list as many uses as possible for a common object (like a brick or a shoe).
* '''Lateral Thinking''' — Edward de Bono's term for "Solving problems through an indirect and creative approach" (Thinking outside the box).
* '''Mind Mapping''' — A visual technique for divergent thinking that uses branches to connect ideas.
* '''Ideation''' — The formal process of forming new ideas.
* '''Functional Fixedness''' — The mental "Block" that makes us only see an object for its traditional use (e.g., seeing a "Hammer" only as something that hits nails).
