Basically, it’s the ability to see lots of possibilities.  It’s seeing the question and the answers in every single possible way.  It’s the ability to think outside of the box, around the box, through the box, and over to a world beyond boxes.

I wonder what it would take to get better at Divergent Thinking.  Any ideas???? Hmmmm????
