Knowledge in Creativity

Coding and Decoding

Coding and Decoding is the easiest section when it comes to scoring.it takes the minimum amount of time if you know some of the common types of questions and tricks. It can be of 5 types: i)alphabets ii)numeric iii)symbols                                                                                                                       Alphabets A       B      C     D     E     F     G      H     I      J      K      L      M       N      O      P      Q      R      S      T       U      V      W      X      Y      Z 1        2       3      4      5     6      7      8     9    10    11     12    13    14     15   16      17     18     19     20    21   22      23      24      25    26 * An important point to keep in mind 'Sum of Position of an alphabet and its reverse is always equal to 27'. For e.g. A+Z=1+26=27               C+X=3+24=27 *To remember the alphabets and its reverse, form a story like this AhraZ   is a BoY who is CompleX by nature and he loves to DraW pictures of EnVironment in his FaltU time. he GoT a painting from HarSh,(his friend) which was IrregulaR in shape and has a picture of Jacket-Quilt. Harsh wanted him to KeeP the painting. He also gifted him shoes of LottO and he looked like gentleMaN after wearing it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Numeric Types: i)Based on the position of the alphabet. e.g.   If FLOW is coded as 6121523, then BAT=2120 ii)Based on reverse position of alphabet. e.g If Flow is coded as 2115124, then BAT=25267 iii)Based on the Sum of the position of alphabets. e.g.If Flow is 56,BAT=23                                                                                                                                          Symbols Some special characters will be representing the alphabets or numbers. Trick: I)identify the repeating letters and symbols in a word. II)Identify the repeating letters in different words. Remember, The letter sequence and symbol sequence need not be the same. e.g.if FOOD is written as '$*@*',DOOR =? Here,* is repeating so, O=*, D=$/@. Here comes the need for options. Go to Option and check if anyone Contains a strange symbol,$/@ and * Good Luck!

Creative Thinking

This pdf explains the role of SWOT analysis in any project. A SWOT analysis is designed to facilitate a realistic, fact-based, data-driven look at the strengths and weaknesses of an organization, its initiatives, or an industry. The organization needs to keep the analysis accurate by avoiding pre-conceived beliefs or grey areas and instead focusing on real-life contexts.

Creativity and Innovation Handout

Creative thinking is the process which we use when we come up with a new idea. It is the merging of ideas which have not been merged before. Brainstorming is one form of creative thinking: it works by merging someone else's ideas with your own to create a new one. You are using the ideas of others as a stimulus for your own. This creative thinking process can be accidental or deliberate.

Cost of capital refers to the opportunity cost of making a specific investment. It is the rate of return that could have been earned by putting the same money into a different investment with equal risk. Thus, the cost of capital is the rate of return required to persuade the investor to make a given investment.

Creativity Is a Process, Not an Event

In 1666, one of the most influential scientists in history was strolling through a garden when he was struck with a flash of creative brilliance that would change the world.While standing under the shade of an apple tree, Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple fall to the ground. “Why should that apple always descend perpendicularly to the ground,” Newton wondered. “Why should it not go sideways, or upwards, but constantly to the earth’s center? Assuredly, the reason is, that the earth draws it. There must be a drawing power in matter.” And thus, the concept of gravity was born.The story of the falling apple has become one of the lasting and iconic examples of the creative moment. It is a symbol of the inspired genius that fills your brain during those “eureka moments” when creative conditions are just right. What most people forget, however, is that Newton worked on his ideas about gravity for nearly twenty years until, in 1687, he published his groundbreaking book, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. The falling apple was merely the beginning of a train of thought that continued for decades.The famous page describing Newton's apple incident in Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton’s Life by William Stukeley.Newton isn't the only one to wrestle with a great idea for years. Creative thinking is a process for all of us. In this article, I’ll share the science of creative thinking, discuss which conditions drive creativity and which ones hinder it, and offer practical tips for becoming more creative.Creative Thinking: Destiny or Development?Creative thinking requires our brains to make connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Is this a skill that we are born with or one that we develop through practice? Let's look at the research to uncover an answer.In the 1960s, a creative performance researcher named George Land conducted a study of 1,600 five-year-olds and 98 percent of the children scored in the “highly creative” range. Dr. Land re-tested each subject during five year increments. When the same children were 10-years-old, only 30 percent scored in the highly creative range. This number dropped to 12 percent by age 15 and just 2 percent by age 25. As the children grew into adults they effectively had the creativity trained out of them. In the words of Dr. Land, “non-creative behavior is learned.” Similar trends have been discovered by other researchers. For example, one study of 272,599 students found that although IQ scores have risen since 1990, creative thinking scores have decreased. This is not to say that creativity is 100 percent learned. Genetics do play a role. According to psychology professor Barbara Kerr, “approximately 22 percent of the variance [in creativity] is due to the influence of genes.” This discovery was made by studying the differences in creative thinking between sets of twins. All of this to say, claiming that “I'm just not the creative type” is a pretty weak excuse for avoiding creative thinking. Certainly, some people are primed to be more creative than others. However, nearly every person is born with some level of creative skill and the majority of our creative thinking abilities are trainable.Now that we know creativity is a skill that can be improved, let's talk about why—and how—practice and learning impacts your creative output.Intelligence and Creative ThinkingWhat does it take to unleash your creative potential?As I mentioned in my article on Threshold Theory, being in the top 1 percent of intelligence has no correlation with being fantastically creative. Instead, you simply have to be smart (not a genius) and then work hard, practice deliberatelyand put in your reps.As long as you meet a threshold of intelligence, then brilliant creative work is well within your reach. In the words of researchers from a 2013 study, “we obtained evidence that once the intelligence threshold is met, personality factors become more predictive for creativity.” Growth MindsetWhat exactly are these “personality factors” that researchers are referring to when it comes to boosting your creative thinking?One of the most critical components is how you view your talents internally. More specifically, your creative skills are largely determined by whether you approach the creative process with a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.The differences between these two mindsets are described in detail in Carol Dweck's fantastic book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (audiobook).The basic idea is that when we use a fixed mindset we approach tasks as if our talents and abilities are fixed and unchanging. In a growth mindset, however, we believe that our abilities can be improved with effort and practice. Interestingly, we can easily nudge ourselves in one direction or another based on how we talk about and praise our efforts.Here's a brief summary in Dweck's words:“The whole self-esteem movement taught us erroneously that praising intelligence, talent, abilities would foster self-confidence, self-esteem, and everything great would follow. But we’ve found it backfires. People who are praised for talent now worry about doing the next thing, about taking on the hard task, and not looking talented, tarnishing that reputation for brilliance. So instead, they’ll stick to their comfort zone and get really defensive when they hit setbacks.So what should we praise? The effort, the strategies, the doggedness and persistence, the grit people show, the resilience that they show in the face of obstacles, that bouncing back when things go wrong and knowing what to try next. So I think a huge part of promoting a growth mindset in the workplace is to convey those values of process, to give feedback, to reward people engaging in the process, and not just a successful outcome.”—Carol Dweck
