Mastering Design Thinking with our MCQ Quiz

19 Mar, 2023

Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and experimentation. It involves understanding the needs of users, defining problems, and developing creative and innovative solutions. Design thinking is not limited to designers and can be applied to any area where innovative solutions are needed. It has gained popularity in recent years, with many organizations adopting this approach to tackle complex challenges. This quiz is designed to test your knowledge of design thinking methodologies and concepts, and help you gain a deeper understanding of this approach.

24. Empathy is crucial because it allows design thinkers to set aside their assumptions about the world to gain insight into users and their needs.

True

False
Ans: TRUE

25. It is often necessary to do an exercise within a phase multiple times to arrive at the required outcome, since ____________

different team members will have different backgrounds and expertise and thus will have different approaches.

sufficient time is required in resolving obstacles.

All the options

more the time taken, higher are the credits for the design team.
Ans: All the options

Doing an exercise multiple times within a phase can be necessary for several reasons. Firstly, different team members may have different backgrounds and expertise, leading to different approaches to the exercise. Secondly, sufficient time may be required to resolve any obstacles or challenges that arise during the exercise. Finally, it is not necessarily true that more time taken results in higher credits for the design team. The focus should be on achieving the required outcome efficiently and effectively, rather than on prolonging the exercise unnecessarily.
