How do people in different careers solve problems?

Answer 1

Could you be more specific on which fields?

Scientists used scientific method.

Managers use instinct and business sense depending on personality.

There are a couple of examples, usually depends on the person's preferred way thinking up ideas to solve the problem.

Answer 2

Solving problems can be done two ways, I believe. The first is that you have the knowledge of math, science or other field to resolve the issue. For instance, building a bridge over a river, a house or an office building. It is general knowledge. The other sort is by using critical thinking to figure out what the problem is and what sort of thing might solve it. This might be solving a puzzle, finding a compromise in a discussion or perhaps remembering that someone else solved the problem in a certain way. There is a third way, which is using both what you know and critical thinking to find the best solution.
