Thinking is a product of a person’s mind, and it is one of the factors that have the 
greatest impact on his living, working and lifestyle.
Today, in the system of training military personnel, it is becoming an extremely 
important vital necessity to include the actual quality of «survivability» in the knowledge, 
skills and qualifications of personnel.
In the further activities of military personnel, it is very important in the process of 
training to form such skills as operational, creative, quick-witted thinking, so as not to lose 
the activity of units until they destroy the enemy, and to increase viability.
Despite the fact that many scientific researches and researches have been carried out in 
the fields of pedagogy and psychology in the field of thinking, it can be said that the level 
of work and scientific researches carried out on the formation of divergent thinking skills in 
military personnel is extremely low.
The term «divergent thinking» was introduced to science by the American psychologist 
Joy Gilford, and the scientist found that the development of 5 types of thinking abilities is 
directly related to divergent thinking (Chart 1):
E. P. Torrens defines divergent thinking as a type of thinking that contributes to the 
search for unusual ideas aimed at developing interest in research and non-standard forms of 
research. [6:87]
Divergent thinking is the ability to think in different directions, that is, the ability to 
analyze an object from different angles in the system of many connections with other 
objects, their properties and relationships. A distinctive feature of the final mental product 
obtained with the help of divergent thinking is the variety of answers [7].
Divergent thinking (from the Latin divergere - separation) is a creative way of thinking, 
which is usually used to solve problems and tasks. It involves finding many solutions to the 
same problem.
Divergent thinking was studied by E. P. Torrens, D. Gilford, K. Taylor, G. Grubber, I. 
Hein, A. B. Schneider, D. Rogers.
Divergent thinking is a unique form of creative thinking, which has been scientifically 
researched by many scientists, and the emergence and formation of this thinking ability in a 
person has given different conclusions at different ages.
In this regard, there are several views on the development of creativity or divergent 
thinking in ontogeny. According to one, it is said that divergent and creative thinking 
continuously increases with age, while other conclusions suggest that divergent thinking 
reaches its peak at the age of 6, decreases by the age of 11, and at the same time changes its
