Outsiders in any field often believe that they can bring in fresh, useful solutions that have been overlooked by insiders. ███ ██ █████ ████████ ██ ██████████ ████ ███ ███ ████████ ██ ████████ ██████████ ███ ███████ ████████ ███ ██ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████ ██████████ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████ ████ █████████████ ███████ ███████████
Outsiders believe they can provide new solutions in fields they are unfamiliar with, but they are wrong. Creativity without relevant experience is useless. Effective problem-solving requires a deep understanding of the problems, which is gained through experience.
Problem-solving requires experience (or any valid inference along this chain)
Problem solved —> have understanding —> experience in the field.
Which one of the following ██ ████ ████████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██████
The more experience █ ██████ ███ ██ █ ██████ ███ ████ ██████████ ████ ██████ ███ █████ ████████ ██ ███ ██████
The stimulus does not say that more experience leads to more creativity. It only argues that creativity without experience is useless.
Those people who ███ ███████████ ██ █ █████ ██████ ████████ ████████ ██████████
This is too strong to support. The stimulus argues that only experienced individuals can provide creative solutions, not that they always possess creative solutions.
Creative solutions in █ █████ ██████ ████ ████ ██████ ████ ██████████ ██ ████ ██████
The stimulus explains that creativity without experience is useless, and problems can be solved only by people who understand them. Thus, creative solutions must come from people with experience.
The experience required ███ █████████ ███████████████ ██ █ █████ ████ ███ ████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████ ███████████
The stimulus does not mention whether experience differs based on the field’s complexity. You must make a number of assumptions to make this work.
Outsiders should be ████████ ███████ ██ █ █████ ██████ █████ █████ ██████████████ ██ ████ ██████
The stimulus does not say anything about when to give outsiders responsibility. The stimulus is purely focused on the requirements to come up with creative solutions.
