Creative Thinking
• The etymology of “creative thinking” goes back to the Latin word Creatio (for creating), the art of making. Creative thinking is the process by which something new is thought up. Creative thinking comes very naturally to some people, whereas most people who thinking creatively employ a particular technique, there are a range of techniques in existence.

Critical Thinking
• The etymology of “critical thinking” goes back to the Greek word Kritike (for critic), the art of judgment. Critical thinking is systematic thinking with an eye to improvement through careful examination and monitoring. Critical thinking nonetheless strives for a common understanding based on supportable theses grounded in data. Clarity, accuracy, relevance, depth, breadth, and logical structure characterize critical thinking.

Plus Minus Interesting PMI
• THE TREATMENT OF IDEAS
• Instead of just deciding whether or not you like an idea, make an effort to find – the good points (P=Plus)– the bad points (M=Minus) – the interesting points (I=lnteresting)
![Page 14: Ag Smaoineamh Taobh Amuigh Den Bhosca: Enhancing Creative And Critical Thinking Skills For Undergraduate Final Year Projects](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ec6c71a28ab6b628b46f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Plus Minus Interesting PMI
• P = Plus – The good things about an idea - why you
like it
• M = Minus – The bad things about an idea - why you
don't like it
• I = Interest– What you find interesting about an idea

PMI - Example• Windows should be made of transparent plastic instead
of glass• P:
– They wouldn’t break as easily– They would not be as dangerous when broken
• M:– Plastic would be more expensive than glass– Plastic would get scratched very easily
• I:– Perhaps windows could be of all colours if plastic– Perhaps we take it for granted that glass is best since we are
used to it
