Question 170

The creative thinking process has three values to determine the effectiveness of the process.

Which one of the following is not a measurement of effective creative thinking?

    Correct Answer: B

    Effective creative thinking is evaluated by the practical application of new ideas to resolve existing problems, the willingness of stakeholders to accept new approaches, and the successful generation and productive consideration of new ideas. The generation of a pre-determined number of new ideas for a business solution does not necessarily reflect the effectiveness of creative thinking, as creativity cannot be measured merely by a quota.
