ABSTRACT
A problem solver must always be impartial and objective, and not have preconceived notions, ideas, or biases on what is causing the problem. Each problem has its own set of conditions or circumstances and most of the time the answer lies in the data and information surrounding these conditions. A good problem solver must be analytical and systematic in his or her approach to problems. One of the keys to solving problems is the art of asking the right questions in a methodical fashion. As we investigate problems, it is crucial to use a logical approach as we move through the maze of unknown facts and forever-present opinions of others. Solving problems requires imagination, creativity, and ingenuity. Solving problems sometimes requires abstract thinking, and necessitates imaginative and inventive actions. Solving problems requires dedication, perseverance, and commitment, because the answers are sometimes obscure or concealed and, therefore, not always obvious.
