4. come primarily from people who score high on Adaption

18. Within the Cognitive Function Schema, Cognitive Affect:

27. According to A-I theory, preferred cognitive style:

1. cannot readily be changed
2. can be modified by coping behavior
3. can be changed by learning new techniques
4. can be altered via appropriate cognitive processes

29. According to A-I theory, creativity and problem solving:

1. making sure that everyone in the group comes to consensus
2. accepting that all problems need an even balance of Adaption and Innovation
3. minimizing Adaption in order to ensure rapid change
4. identifying capacities and styles of behavior required for the solution of Problem A

39. When asked to generate as many ideas as possible about a particular problem:

1. a highly innovative person will always have an advantage, whatever their expertise
2. the potential capacity of the individuals involved is not a relevant factor
3. the final outcome is ultimately limited only by the motives of the people involved
4. a highly adaptive person who is familiar with that problem could perform best
