Which action demonstrates good problem-solving skills?

• A. Analyzing options, testing solutions, and evaluating outcomes.
• B. Guessing solutions and hoping for the best.
• C. Blaming others for the problem.
• D. Avoiding data and making decisions by feel.

Answer: (A)

Solving problems well means using a methodical, evidence-based approach: you consider different possible solutions, try them out, and measure how well they work. Analyzing options helps you understand what could help, testing solutions provides real evidence rather than guesswork, and evaluating outcomes shows whether the chosen approach actually solved the problem and what to adjust next. This combination demonstrates critical thinking and a commitment to learning from results. In contrast, guessing without evidence, blaming others, or making decisions based on feel while ignoring data tends to miss root causes and lead to ineffective outcomes.
