In ancient times, there were three brothers. The elder brother and the second brother were good at eating and drinking, and the third brother was hardworking and clever. All three grew up and became families. One day, when the three brothers were drinking together, the elder and second brothers proposed: ? From now on, the three of us speak, each other are not allowed to suspect, or else a bucket of rice penalty. After drinking, the elder brother said: ?

If you don't believe me, you'll be punished with a bucket of rice. The second brother went on to say: "I'm not as diligent as my elder brother, so I'm not as diligent as my elder brother. I'm not as hardworking as my elder brother, so the family is so poor that the rats chased the cat squeaking third brother shook his head again and again, the second brother said triumphantly:? You do not believe, also punished a bucket of rice. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to see it.
Scoring and explanation:
Questions 1 to 4, each answer is 1 point; question 5, each answer is 2 points; questions 6 to 7, each answer is 3 points; question 8, each answer is 5 points; and then count the total score. If you score above:
100 points, the fluency of divergent thinking is very good;
81~100 points, the fluency of divergent thinking is good;
61~80 points, the fluency of divergent thinking is medium;
41~60 points, the fluency of divergent thinking is poor;
40 points or less, the fluency of divergent thinking is is very poor.
Fluency is the lower level of divergent thinking, for example, in listing the uses of bricks, if you can list building workshops, chimneys, warehouses, chicken coops, auditoriums? This indicates good fluency. Variation and uniqueness of divergent thinking, on the other hand, represent medium and high levels of divergent thinking, respectively. The answers to each question are analyzed below in conjunction with each question.
1.? Tu? On the right side, such as zao, tripe, du, etc.: ? Tu? In the left side, such as site, market, increase, etc.: ? The earth is in the left side, such as the site, market, increase, etc.: the earth? In the lower part, such as dust, molding, hall, etc.: ? The earth is in the upper part. On the top, as in Go, Temple, Kou, etc.: ? The earth is in the center, as in Shuang, Yai, Zeng, etc. in the center, as in Shuang, Yai, Kuang, etc.; all made of? Tu? characters, such as Tu, Kei, etc.; or ? Tu? in the middle of a word, such as Lai, Ben, Dai, etc.; and others, such as Salt, Silicon, etc. In the above? Diffuse? can write two types of words that contain the word "earth". earth? words, it shows that the thinking has a certain degree of adaptability, so at this time the ? Tu? is no longer the same as the previous types of "土". Tu? So it's not as obvious as the previous ones.
2. List the uses of bricks, if you say the building of workshops, chimneys, warehouses, chicken coops, auditoriums? Can only show that your divergent thinking at a lower stage, because you listed a variety of uses, in fact, all belong to the same type: for building materials. If you also answered dog-fighting, cat-driving, nail-knocking, furniture-padding, road-paving, stuff-crushing, self-defense weaponry, etc., your thinking has a certain degree of variability, because the above uses have involved several different categories. If your answer is difficult for the average person to think of, your divergent thinking has a certain uniqueness.
3. Include? Triangles? The items are roughly the following categories: 1, items contained in the formal triangle, such as red scarves, triangular flags, triangular pencils, etc.; 2, items containing approximate triangles, such as pyramids, coat hooks, mountain-shaped blocks, etc.; 3, the items contain the characteristics of the three corners of the triangle, constituting the subjective triangles, such as the three-pronged socket, triode, beveled and so on. 4, three-dimensional triangles, such as cones, funnels, coat racks, dance modeling, etc. The more types named, the better the variability of divergent thinking; the more items named in each type, the better the fluency of divergent thinking.
4. and? △? Similar or similar things are: buns, culverts, cliffs, peaks, fortresses, gates, tunnel mouths, fountains, windows, windows, nylon seedling huts, graves, sprouts, rainbows, canopies, parabolic red, cranes playing in the water, mirrors, TV screens, holes in the gun, bullets, the shade of the tree, the sunrise on the sea, jumping, stooping, planting rice seedlings, arched bridges, shields, loose-leaf wood and iron clips, the sky clouds, the letters of the alphabet ?D? and so on. The more answers you give, the more you will be able to think outside the box. The more answers, the more fluent the divergent thinking.
5. These objects can be categorized as follows:
Plants: spinach, wood
Animals: ducks, people
Creatures: spinach, wood, ducks, people
Foods: spinach, vegetable oil, ducks
Minerals: stone, iron
Iron-containing objects: iron, spinach
Objects with a strong floating water: wood, Vegetable oil, duck
Products commonly grown in mud: spinach, wood, vegetable oil
Fuels: wood, vegetable oil
Building materials: wood, stone, iron
The above categorization certainly doesn't include all the possible categorizations, you can use your divergent thinking ability to create new categorizations, and the more categories you create, the better your divergent thinking ability.
6. The similarities between a cat and a refrigerator are considerable: both have a place for?
Fish? place; both have a? Tail? (The wires at the back of the refrigerator are like a? Tail?) ;all have colors, etc.
7. Two circles, two straight lines and two triangles, can form a variety of meaningful patterns. For example: from the specific image, can be composed of? human face? or composition? Sunset and mountain reflection? ; can also be considered from an abstract point of view, the composition of the equation: △ ○ = ○ △; you can also combine the abstract and concrete, the composition of ? △ |○○△? , indicating that the two mountains (concrete) 100 meters away from each other (abstract) and so on. The more the above pattern is composed, the higher the degree of fluency and adaptability of your divergent thinking.
8. There is no fixed answer to this question, you can make use of it, the more and more bizarre the end of the story you write, the higher your overall divergent thinking ability.
How to develop your divergent thinking
Sentence-making game
Maybe you've heard of this game before: turn over a noun, a verb, an adjective, and a quantitative word, and then make a sentence out of those four words.
For example, can you make a sentence with: flower (noun), dainty (verb), silent (adjective), three (quantity word)?
Perhaps the result of your sentence-making is:
Getting up at three o'clock, I found that the flowers had opened silently, as if they were shy maidens, afraid that you would see her at her best.
If we put it in the Tang Dynasty, maybe people would have written: "The wind blows the flowers and makes them concealed at night.
If we put it in the Song Dynasty, maybe it is written as follows: "The night of three nights, the flowers are concealed, the people are concealed, the love is strong, but they are concealed"
The above sentences are written by Autumn Leaves for fun, so they are not in the right order, so don't worry about it. Just do a kind of brain exercise, practice more, your text organization ability will naturally multiply.
If you feel that the difficulty is not enough, you can increase the variety and number of words to enhance the difficulty.
Some people may also ask, does this kind of training work?
Tell me about a communication training method I saw early on from an exercise to train for a sales position in a Fortune 500 foreign company? The first time you come to an unfamiliar scene, immediately observe the objects around him, and quickly use a sentence to organize these objects as an opening statement.
Now you understand why those masters of pickup always speak natural and relevant words, right? They're practiced, aren't you?
The idea of divergent thinking is very important
The market is like this, high not low, not up and not down. The main reason for this is the fact that the company's business is not a business, but it is a business, and it is a business.
The theoretical basis of technical analysis is to believe that the market will repeat itself, the market at any point in time performance is deep in the history of the river, the use of the brain in the potential of big data analysis methods, coupled with a grasp of the macro-economy, it is not difficult to find that there is a pattern here, which also corresponds to the previously mentioned example of a countermeasure.
For example, today's market high-speed rail plate rebound, you can deduce what the reason is? At the moment, the only thing that China can take in the process of international economic cooperation is the high-speed rail, the next step of China's high-speed rail to go to the world. The other day very hot video in the Chinese high-speed rail and the Japanese Shinkansen high-speed rail on the standing coin experiment, Chinese high-speed rail won the Japanese high-speed rail, from the life can also feel our high-speed rail quality is really very good. In addition, this aspect after all belongs to the infrastructure facilities, which is still intrinsically linked to the hot topic of PPP, so this time node on the high-speed rail plate appears to rise is justified. People will say that this is again the horse's back, but this way after all makes sense, not to mention that yesterday did not launch any policy on high-speed rail.
Raise a question, we think about attractions and tourism sector why the rise? Can we do the same in the latter part of the year?
So divergent thinking is important! Finance itself is a whole, not so strictly defined, speculation is required to have a certain grasp of macroeconomics, politics, military, integrated, when the knowledge base and personal experience to reach a certain level, you can do foresight, which is the highest realm of speculation!
