first has a question, I need everyone to answer:
there is a glass of water, a piece of paper, and a pen on the table in a certain room of
. How can I tell someone who came to this room without dumping this glass of water? The stranger can't drink this glass of water because it is poisonous?
If it were you, what would you do? Think about it first. The answer to
may involve what kind of person you are. The answer to this question of
will distinguish children into "Type A" and "Type X". The person who put forward these two types of views is Mitchell Resnick of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is specifically interpreted as:
" Type A": Test scores are very good. Generally speaking, they tend to be step-by-step and do not have the innovative ability necessary to succeed in today's society.
"X-type": They have innovative thinking and adventurous spirit, like to actively think and ask questions, and they are more likely to come up with creative ideas in the future. This is also the creative talent that every country needs more in the future.
So, what kind of child or are you? Let’s start to interpret the answers...
A children’s answers are usually divided into two categories:
text. For example, write "toxic" and "don't drink" on the paper, and put it on top of the cup or stick it beside the cup.
Drawing class. For example, draw a big cross on paper, or even draw a skull pattern. The answer for children of
X type is much simpler and rude:
, for example, directly knead the paper into a ball and throw it into the water cup.
or put the pen in the glass of water so that no one will drink this glass of water.
As can be seen from the above answer, Type A people are limited by the title. The first thing that comes to mind is how to use two things like pen and paper to tell strangers that this glass of water is poisonous. The point is to tell others; Type X people jump out Instead of "telling strangers", we must directly solve the final problem-"how to prevent others from drinking this glass of toxic water". Personally,
feels that this is a test of thinking about whether the final goal is clear. Whether the final goal is clear enough determines whether your behavior is sufficiently deterrent and whether you can solve the problem more quickly.
just now, Tina also threw this question to her son.
His answer is, can you pour out the water? I said: No!
He thought about it again, then, can you lock the door or take this glass of water away? I said: No!
He said again, then throw the paper into the cup! So someone will not want to drink it when they see this glass of water. No one should want to drink a glass of water that looks contaminated.
Judging from my son’s answer, I still feel that it surpasses my knowledge of the child. I think the answer he gave may also be written on paper, but he did not. He thought about several methods, but none of the writing These two screens.
Many netizens also gave their own opinions:
, for example, can't tell the other party directly orally? Didn't you stop talking? Also, if you don’t see the right writing, after all, what if foreigners don’t know Chinese, or Chinese don’t know foreign languages?
and even children gave even more incredible answers: if you are a stranger, please XX...
From this question, it is not difficult to find that, in fact, many children's thinking is still quite jumpy, quite open at least Compared with the 80s and 90s, it is a cross-era feeling. Children come into contact with many new things and communicate with their parents. In many cases, they can make their own judgments. For children with these two ways of thinking, type X may be more active, but as type A, I think it is also essential. After all, in life, step by step and let the flow go are also necessary, and most of them are needed.
In fact, no matter what type of child is, as long as the child can be healthy, happy, safe, do what he likes, have his own goal, and learn to adjust his emotions to make himself happy and happy.
