問 20
Incorrectア
This violates the “freewheeling” principle. In brainstorming, the correct approach is to welcome free ideas without worrying about feasibility; making people hold back wild ideas and asking only for feasible ones is wrong.
- イ
正解 Brainstorming has four principles: “withhold criticism,” “freewheeling (wild ideas welcome),” “quantity over quality,” and “combine and improve (building on others' ideas is welcome).” Choice イ welcomes an improvement idea that builds on another member's idea and does not criticize it as the session proceeds, which satisfies both the “combine and improve” and the “withhold criticism” principles. Therefore イ is appropriate.
Incorrectウ
Selecting or discarding ideas by their fit to the theme while ideas are still being generated violates “withhold criticism.” Evaluation and selection should be done after the divergent stage ends; during the session the correct approach is to first produce a large quantity of ideas.
Incorrectエ
This runs directly counter to the two principles “quantity over quality” and “withhold criticism.” Encouraging criticism makes people hesitant to speak and reduces the number of ideas, so encouraging criticism is wrong.
- The four principles of brainstorming: withhold criticism, freewheeling, quantity over quality, and combine-and-improve (building on others' ideas is welcome).
- Improving on others' ideas by building on and combining them is welcomed, while criticizing or selecting among ideas during the session is prohibited.
