Question

Yasmin is an executive at a company, and she wants to hire the most creative applicant for a new position. She decides to hire someone from an individualistic culture because she feels that individualists are more creative than collectivists. You _____________ with her statement because _____________.

a) agree; the higher need for uniqueness among individualists makes them generally more creative than collectivists
b) disagree; being more concerned about improving the lives of others makes collectivists generally more creative than individualists
c) agree; the higher level of analytic thinking among individualists makes them generally more creative than collectivists
d) disagree; individualists and collectivists are better at different types of creative thinking
e) agree; having less naïve dialecticism makes individualists generally more creative than collectivists

Answer 1

D). Disagree; individualists and collectivists are better at different types of creative thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given details, Yasmin's opinions will surely be 'disagreed' and the key reason is that 'individualists as well as collectivists are good at distinct types of creative thinking.' The individualists possess uniqueness while the collectivists possess effective communication(bilingualism or multilingualism) and management skills as they are more concerned about 'common goals.' Thus, her decision must be based on the assessment of skills required along with the evaluation of distinct creative skills possessed by both and then reach a decision. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
