1.Bring out the opposing features of the following
thinking types.
• Concrete Vs Abstract Thinking
• Convergent Vs Divergent Thinking
• Creative Vs Analytical Thinking
• Sequential Vs Holistic Thinking
Ans-
Concrete Thinking vs. Abstract Thinking
Concrete thinking refers to the thinking on the surface

whereas abstract thinking requires much more analysis and
goes deeper. Concrete thinking will only consider the literal
meaning while abstract thinking goes deeper than the facts
to consider multiple or hidden meanings.
Concrete thinking refers to the process of comprehending

and applying factual knowledge. It involves only those things
which are visible and obvious allowing any individual to
observe and understand. Abstract thinking goes beyond all
the visible and present things to find hidden meanings and
underlying purpose.
Example:
A concrete thinker will look at the flag and only sees specific
colors, marking, or symbols that appear on the cloth. An
abstract thinker would see the flag as a symbol of a country
or organization. They may also see it as a symbol of liberty
and freedom.
Convergent thinking vs. Divergent thinking
Convergent thinking involves bringing facts and data

together from various sources and then applying logic and
knowledge to solve problems or to make informed decisions.
Convergent thinking involves putting a number of different
pieces or perspectives of a topic back together in some
organized, logical manner to find a single answer.
The deductive reasoning that the Sherlock Holmes used in

solving mysteries is a good example of convergent thinking.
By gathering various bits of information, he was able to put
the pieces of a puzzle together and come up with a logical
answer to the question of “Who done it?”
Divergent thinking, on the other hand, involves breaking a

topic apart to explore its various component parts and then
generating new ideas and solutions. Divergent thinking is
thinking outwards instead of inward. It is a creative process
of developing original and unique ideas and then coming up
with a new idea or a solution to a problem.
Analytical Thinking vs. Creative Thinking
Analytical thinking is about breaking information down into

its parts and examining those parts their relationship. It
involves thinking in a logical, step-by-step manner in order to
analyze data, solve problems, make decisions, and/or use
information. Creative thinking, on the other hand, refers to
conceiving new and innovative ideas by breaking from
established thoughts, theories, rules, and procedures. It is
not about breaking things down or taking them apart, but
rather putting things together in new and imaginative ways.
Example:
An analytical thinker may look at a bicycle to determine how

it works or what is wrong with it. A creative thinker may look
at the same bicycle and think or an new way to make it
faster or a new way to use it.
Sequential Thinking vs. Holistic Thinking
Sequential thinking is processing information in orderly

prescribed manner. It involves a step-by-step progression
where the first step needs to be completed before then
second step occurs.
If a = b, and b = c, then a = c
Holistic thinking, on the other hand, is about seeing the big

picture and recognize the interconnectedness of various
components that form larger systems. It involves expanding
your thought process in multiple directions, rather than in
one direction, in order to understand how everything
connects. Holistic thinkers want to understand the patterns
and how thing connect to each other.
Example:
When assembling a table, a sequential thinker would follow

the step-by-step directions. A holistic thinker would want to
see or mentally visualize how the table would look when it is
completed.
2.Make a digital chart of Lateral Thinking: step

by step Creatively.
Lateral Thinking
What is it? What does it achieve?

A thinking process extended beyond Encourages creative thinking by
normal limits. stepping outside our normal ‘thinking’
process.
How to use it? When to use it?
Take a problem / situation Usually best as part of the

Find out alternatives solutions by: brainstorming process in:
• Establishing logically the • Developing objectives for
situation solutions
• Generate options by lateral • Developing possible solutions
thinking • Developing action plans
• Evaluate both logical and lateral
options and collectively decide
on the best course of action
