<p>Critical Thinking can be factual, linear and without emotional content. It can assist with defining the problem and lead to an efficient solution.The emotional Ah HA! is the process I usually engage in and this has the emotional component my right brain craves. The incubation period for problem solving is like having&nbsp;a mysterious presence inside who knows ALL of the answers...if consulted correctly. I like the Howard GardnerMultiple Intelligences. They are very accurate to my own patterns over decades.I think&nbsp;a combination of Critical/Creative processes serve life well.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
