Convergent Thinking Quotes

“There is a distinction between people who keep dissonant thoughts and ideas apart and those that allow them to influence each other. Similar distinctions might be convergent thinkers (linear, logical and systematic) versus divergent thinkers (flexible, creative, and explorative).”
― Robert Ornstein, God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called “God”

“It is my assertion that divergent thinking is infinite. The primary reasoning in support of my position can be explained when one considers the function of convergent thinking: to identify a single, well-defined solution (or a finite set of solutions) to a question, problem, or challenge. Therefore, if convergent thinking and divergent thinking work in opposition, then the latter must be infinite.”
