A common framework for creative thinking processes is describe by Torrance (1979). According to him, there are four aspects that describe creative thinking.
1.) Fluency- refers to the production of a great number of ideas or alternate solutions to a problem. Fluency implies understanding, not just remembering information that is learned.
2.) Flexibility- refers to the production of ideas that show a variety of possibilities or realms of thought. It involves the ability to use things from different points of view, to use many different approaches or strategies.
3.) Elaboration- is the process of enhancing ideas by providing more details. Additional detail and clarity improves interest in, and understanding of the topic.
4.) Originality- involves the production of ideas that are unique or unusual. It involves synthesis or putting information about a topic back together in a new way.
