The ability to come up with original and divergent solutions to a problem is a primary characteristic of

  • A.Egocentric children
  • B.Impaired children
  • C.Creative children
  • D.Children with learning disability

Answer: C

Original, divergent solutions are the mark of creative children.

Creativity is closely linked to divergent thinking, the ability to produce many different and original ideas or solutions to an open problem, as described by Guilford. Creative children show fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration in their thinking.

Egocentric children, in Piaget's sense, find it hard to take another's point of view, which is unrelated to originality. 'Impaired' children and children with learning disabilities are defined by particular difficulties, not by divergent thinking, although any child may also be creative.
