Inverse Thinking

1. A cognitive technique used to challenge and expand personal perspectives by deliberately reversing one’s usual way of thinking about a subject or idea. This involves considering the opposite of what is typically believed or assumed, such as viewing an attribute once thought undesirable in a positive light. The goal is not necessarily to adopt the opposite belief, but to explore and examine the subject from a different angle, encouraging new insights and challenging ingrained judgments.

2. A mental exercise where one takes a commonly held view or assumption and actively imagines it in its inverse form, questioning why something is perceived the way it is, and considering what value or meaning might exist in the opposite perspective.
