Creative Problem Solving "involves breaking down a problem to understand it, generating ideas to solve the problem and evaluating those ideas to find the most effective solutions. It uses techniques to make the problem solving process engaging and collaborative."[1]

Strategies for creative problem solving:

  • Embrace curiosity: Ask questions and seek new knowledge to open the door to innovative solutions.
  • Take risks: Step outside your comfort zone to come up with new ideas.
  • Be open-minded: Consider unconventional solutions and different perspectives.
  • Brainstorm: Gather a diverse group of people to discuss ideas without judgment.
  • Prototype: Create tangible models or simulations of ideas to test and refine.
  • Use mind mapping: A visual tool that helps organize thoughts and ideas.
  • Ask open-ended questions: Rephrase problems as open-ended questions with multiple possibilities

Mind mapping:

Research which suggests that increasing creative problem solving can boost a person's intelligence (IQ score)

The human brain is the most complex physical entity in the universe.[2][3][4]

Abstract for the 2020 journal article We Can Boost IQ: Revisiting Kvashchev’s Experiment published in the Journal of Intelligence:

“ This paper examined the effects of training in creative problem-solving on intelligence. We revisited Stankov’s report on the outcomes of an experiment carried out by R. Kvashchev in former Yugoslavia that reported an IQ increase of seven points, on average, across 28 tests of intelligence. We argue that previous analyses were based on a conservative analytic approach and failed to take into account the reductions in the IQ test variances at the end of the three-years’ training. When standard deviations of the initial test and 2nd retest were pooled in the calculation of the effect sizes, the experimental group’s performance was 10 IQ points higher on average than that of the control group. Further, with the properly defined measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence, the experimental group showed a 15 IQ points higher increase than the control group. We concluded that prolonged intensive training in creative problem-solving can lead to substantial and positive effects on intelligence during late adolescence (ages 18–19).[5] ”
