Critical Thinking
Critical and creative thinking are not the same thought process, although they have similar characteristics.
Critical thinking is judging the quality or relevance of anything or thought to your own personal standard. It deals with a set of known quantities or qualities of knowledge.
Critical thinking is a logical and judgment based way of making decisions.
Critical thinking is performed by using these five highly individual factors: disposition, an established set of criteria, the analysis of arguments, reasoning skills, and comparisons of the choices.

Creative Thinking
Creative thinking is an abstract way that produces an illogical leap or inspiration to the next level when critical thinking comes to an impasse.
Creative thinking goes beyond the boundaries of logic for solving problems or creating solutions while using a strategy (disposition), a knowledge pool, and motivations (point-of-view).
Creative thinking is stimulated by using the imagination, using humor, or even doing some sort of physical activity. These motivations act as the vehicle for the mind to create new ideas from unlikely places and putting these bits of ideas together in different or unorthodox ways to create any number of possible alternatives for a solution. Applying these two thinking styles together will create a powerful new avenue in solving problems.
