Out Of The Box Thinking

Description

An in depth look at the skills this test will accomplish:

Solving Complex problems

• Description: Complex problem solving involves breaking down a problem into manageable parts and then analysing each part to determine how they are connected. It also involves understanding the implications of potential solutions, considering the consequences of any action, and evaluating the effectiveness of each solution.
• Leading Game: Move-It.
  Move-It is a puzzle game. In the game, the player is presented with challenges of increasing difficulty and must identify the set of moves that will lead to a solution. Despite the simple rules of the game, the levels of the game are challenging and stimulate thinking about how to solve problems. The game is characterized by having one central factor that we must find to reach a solution. We call this factor the Core of the Problem.

Flexible Thinking

• Description: The ability to maintain consistent performance and adapt to changes requires a certain level of flexibility in thinking. This means being able to adjust our thought processes and behaviours in response to unexpected or unpredictable situations.
  Flexible thinking allows us to approach problems and challenges from multiple angles, consider alternative solutions, and adapt to changing circumstances. It also helps us to recognize patterns and identify new opportunities
• Leading Game: Two-Flags.
  Two-Flags is a strategy game for 2 players in which you need to create and execute your strategic plan while overcoming opponent threats. The game is characterized by the need to be agile in your thinking, as well as the ability to adjust to changing conditions. Players must think about the long-term moves in the game, while making short-term decisions that will help them gain an advantage over their opponent.

Coping with changes

• Description: Coping with changes is the ability to adapt to new situations, transitions, or unexpected events in a positive and effective way. It involves being flexible, resilient, and open-minded when facing uncertainty, ambiguity, or challenges.
• Leading Game: MaxIt.
  MaxIt is a two-player strategy game played on an 8×8 square board. The board is randomly filled with numbers and a star is placed on one of the squares. One player plays in the rows and the other in the columns. The objective of the game is to collect more points than the opponent by selecting squares that maximize the sum of their numbers. However, players must also anticipate and adapt to a constantly changing board, adding a layer of complexity to the game that requires planning and strategy.

Pattern recognition

• Description: Pattern recognition is the automated recognition of patterns and regularities in data, which can then be used to classify and cluster data. It has applications in a wide range of fields and it can be used to identify objects in images, detect anomalies in data, and classify natural language.
• Leading Game: PingWins.
  Ping-Wins is a puzzle game requiring analysis abilities. Players must use their logical and problem-solving skills to complete levels. As they progress, the levels become more challenging and more complex. The game is characterized by problems requiring high analytical skills and the identification of anchors that lead to conclusions and finally a solution.

Resourcefulness

• Description: Resourcefulness is the ability to use creative and innovative approaches to solve problems, often in situations where resources are limited or scarce. It involves being able to think on your feet and find clever and efficient ways to tackle challenges using the resources that are available to you.
  Resourceful individuals are often creative and flexible thinkers who are able to adapt to changing circumstances and find solutions to problems in unconventional ways. They are able to identify opportunities where others might only see obstacles, and are skilled at leveraging existing resources to their advantage.
• Leading Game: Two-Flags.
  Two-Flags is a strategy game for 2 players in which you need to create and execute your strategic plan while overcoming opponent threats. The game is characterized by the need to be agile in your thinking, as well as the ability to adjust to changing conditions.
