Description
Summary:In this article the concept of the evolution of Guilford�s theory divergent thinking is analised. The first definition presented in 1950 within the �Aptitude Research Project� stated distinctive traits for divergent thinking that would afterwards be the subject of confirmation or refutation by factorial studies. Inside Guilford�s �Structure of Intellect Model�, posterior investigations have outlined the importance of such traits, modifying the initial definition of some of them as sensitivity to problems, that although it was conceived as an evaluation factor of final factorial definition, is of a knowledge aptitude; refusing the importance of others for creativity as analysis and synthesis; powering others that initially had less consideration as abilities for transformations which are lately considered by Guilford as an important contribution for creativity as the divergent production.
