Question

jordan has been tasked with planning a conference for her company. she needs to include sessions on new developments in the field and some training sessions to bring the people in her office up to speed on new developments. some of the speakers she wants have very limited availability, so she will have to build the day around their schedule. of course, she’ll also need to do all of this while sticking to a budget. which skill will jordan most likely use to make this happen?
(1 point)

○ fluency

○ creativity

○ elaboration

○ critical thinking

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Fluency: Relates to smooth communication, not conference planning. Eliminate.
• Creativity: Involves novel ideas, but Jordan’s task is about organizing constraints (speaker availability, budget, schedule), not creativity. Eliminate.
• Elaboration: Adds details, not relevant to coordinating schedules/budget. Eliminate.
• Critical thinking: Involves analyzing, evaluating, and solving complex problems (e.g., balancing speaker schedules, budget, and session goals). This matches Jordan’s need to plan the conference effectively under constraints.

Answer:

D. critical thinking
