There are different definitions and references for these two types of thinking. However, the research that has been carried out and that is being disseminated common points and, in many cases, many differences. Since Torrance and Ennis it has evolved conceptually. How are we in 2020?
I would like to answer this interesting question grabbing a concept popularized by Eli Goldratt which is the inherent simplicity. The convergence of critical and creative thinking is given by the previous experience of the observer, in both cases, the thinking process is nurtured by it. Now the differences are framed in two temporal contexts. The critical thinking helps you to find the root cause of the problem by encountering the cause and effects relationships that allow you to see " the reality" of the situation under study. Now, creative thinking is the process that helps you to build a creative solution for the problem you already found.
