Convergent Questions
The word CONVERGENT means coming closer together; converging (like two roads or two rivers that come together to form one).
Convergent thinking is a problem solving technique in which ideas from different fields or participants are brought together (synthesised) to find a single optimum solution to a clearly defined problem.
Therefore convergent questions are designed to try and help you find the solution to a problem, or a single response to a question. It is about narrowing down, refining or honing in on something.
