Mental Process
Mental Process
To understand the mental process one must be able to define it and relate to it. The mental process is the process of thinking. One’s thoughts must go through a process prior to verbalizing or taking action. The mental process includes the four styles of creative intelligence, which are intuitive, innovative, imaginative, and inspirational. The mental process also includes the five forces of mental models/mindsets, which are education, training, influence on others, rewards and incentives, and personal experience. These elements are essential in everyone’s life as they not only shape what we see and how we understand the world but also how we act in it (Rowe, 2004). In this paper the following will be discussed: The four styles of creative intelligence and their influence on organizational decision making, how the five forces influence mental models/mindsets, the most commonly used mental models/mindsets that guide decision-making in the workplace, and how these models influence one’s decision making.
Creativity and Creative Intelligence
Creativity focuses on how we think and our strong desire to achieve something new or different (Rowe, 2004). Creativity is not about reinventing the wheel it is about going beyond the norm and creating new ideas. Creativity is a reflection of our creative intelligence (Rowe, 2004). Our creative intelligence describes how we see and understand the world, or basic beliefs, and our personality (Rowe, 2004). It allows people to expand their knowledge or thoughts by using their sense of sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell, intuition, and perception. It allows people to think different, when people think different they do things different. All four styles of creative intelligence help to understand why people make certain decisions in various situations and how people view the world.
Four Styles of Creative Intelligence
The intuitive style focuses on results and relies on past
