Problem Solving Skills Quiz

What is compromising in problem solving?

• Forcing one person's solution on everyone else

• Ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away

• Avoiding the problem and not addressing it

• Finding a solution that satisfies everyone involved

How can you apply problem solving skills to solve big problems?

• By ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away on its own

• By asking someone else to solve the problem for you

• By randomly guessing a solution without analyzing the problem

• By breaking down the problem into smaller parts, analyzing the root cause, brainstorming potential solutions, and evaluating the best approach.

Give an example of a little problem that can be solved using problem solving skills.

• Baking a cake

• Solving a complex math equation

• Building a house

• Fixing a jammed printer

What are the key components of problem solving skills?

• Memory and recall

• Physical strength and agility

• identify the problem, size of the problem, find different solutions, pick a solution, and solve the problem

• Musical talent and artistic ability

Why is compromising important in problem solving?

• To avoid finding a solution altogether.

• To find a middle ground and reach a solution that satisfies all parties involved.

• To make the problem more complicated and difficult to solve.

• To prioritize one party's interests over the others.

Explain the steps involved in solving a big problem.

• Ignore the problem and hope it goes away

• Identify the problem, break it down into smaller parts, brainstorm solutions, evaluate the options, make a plan, and take action.

• Ask someone else to solve it

• Try to solve the entire problem at once

How can you prioritize little problems for effective problem solving?

• Prioritize based on color and size

• Prioritize based on alphabetical order

• Prioritize based on impact and urgency

• Prioritize based on random selection

Discuss the importance of critical thinking in problem solving.

• Critical thinking is important in problem solving because it helps in analyzing and evaluating information to make informed decisions and solve complex problems.

• Critical thinking only leads to overthinking and confusion

• Problem solving is better achieved through guesswork and intuition

• Critical thinking has no impact on problem solving

Which example is a little problem?

• Your pencil broke in the middle of the test.

• Your teacher fainted and you need to call 911.

• You see a student punch another student in the hallway.

• The fire alarm went off during the class.

How can problem solving skills be improved over time?

• By practicing regularly, seeking feedback, learning from mistakes, and using different problem solving techniques.

• By never seeking feedback or learning from mistakes

• By avoiding challenges and difficult tasks

• By using the same problem solving technique every time
