The answer is the second one (2): Divergent thinking.

Explanation:

  • Divergent thinking (2) is the ability to generate many different ideas or solutions to a problem, which is often associated with creativity. This matches the description of Little Johnny being able to come up with multiple solutions and being considered quite creative.
  • Intrinsic motivation (1) refers to doing something because it is inherently interesting or enjoyable, not necessarily related to creativity or problem-solving.
  • Heuristic (3) is a mental shortcut that allows people to solve problems quickly and efficiently, but it does not specifically relate to generating multiple solutions.
  • Extrinsic motivation (4) involves doing something for external rewards or to avoid negative consequences, which is not relevant to the description.
  • WISC (5) and WAIS (6) are intelligence scales (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, respectively) and do not pertain to the context of creativity or problem-solving.
  • Convergent thinking (7) involves finding a single, correct solution to a problem, which is the opposite of what is described.
  • Counterfactual thinking (8) involves imagining alternative scenarios and outcomes that could have happened but did not, which is not related to generating multiple solutions.
  • Emotion focused coping (9) and Problem focused coping (10) are strategies for dealing with stress, not related to creativity or problem-solving.
  • Emotional intelligence (11) refers to the ability to understand and manage emotions, which is not directly related to generating multiple solutions.
  • Self-actualization (12) and Esteem needs (13) are concepts from Maslow's hierarchy of needs, not directly related to creativity or problem-solving.
  • Hindsight bias (14) is the tendency to see events as having been predictable after they have already occurred, which is not relevant to the description.

Therefore, the correct match for Little Johnny's ability to come up with multiple solutions and being considered creative is Divergent thinking (2).
