Creative Thinkers VS Critical Thinkers:
Formal Professional people are really straight in giving answers. They exclude the wrong answers (at least as what they thing) and explain it with many different situations to make it real and convincing. But the creative ones, they have a spinning way of thinking (and this is what most people thing). They are trying their best to get as much answers as they can. They do believe that it's not impossible to have more than one path to reach the right answer or even to get a perfect one. Am not saying that critical thinkers are bad. Both of them are successors. However, creative thinker are producers and fun. :)
Here is a comparing between the elements of critical thinkers and the elements of creative thinkers:
| Critical Thinking | Creative Thinking |
| analytic | generative |
| convergent | divergent |
| vertical | lateral |
| probability | possibility |
| judgment | suspended judgment |
| focused | diffuse |
| objective | subjective |
| answer | an answer |
| left brain | right brain |
| verbal | visual |
| linear | associative |
| reasoning | richness, novelty |
| yes but | yes and |
