Question:

What type of thinking do intelligence tests primarily focus on?

Options:

Divergent thinking

Logical thinking

Critical thinking

Convergent thinking

Correct Answer:

Convergent thinking

Explanation:

Creativity tests involve divergent thinking and assess such abilities as ability to produce a variety of ideas, i.e. ideas which are off-the-beaten track, ability to see new relationships between seemingly unrelated things, ability to guess causes and consequences, ability to put things in a new context, etc. This is contrary to the tests of intelligence which mostly involve convergent thinking.
