what is divergent thinking?
<|assistant|>
Divergent thinking is a creative thinking process that involves exploring many possible solutions to a problem, through the generation of new ideas or alternate interpretations of existing ones. It typically starts with an "open ended" issue or problem, and encourages free exploration of answers and solutions. This contrasts with convergent thinking, which focuses on narrowing down the choices, eventually arriving at a single, definitive answer or solution.
