Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Creative problem solving involves four steps: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. The primary difference between creative and noncreative problem solvers is how they approach this first step, which includes problem definition and alternative generation, in addition to data gathering and information analysis.
