Thinking works well for routine problem solving but may be of little use when a more creative solution is needed

The correct answer is Convergent Thinking.

Convergent Thinking refers to a category of thinking wherein an individual sees only one solution to his or her problem, and all types of thinking will also lead to that one answer, through the use of experience and knowledge. Convergent Thinking is useful for routine problem solving, but it may also be useless, when a more creative and better solution is needed.
