The Six Senses for Right-Brain Thinking and Verbotomy<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no doubt that when people play Verbotomy, they are strengthening, and stretching, their right-brain aptitudes. Here is an analysis of how the Verbotomy Players are exercising and developing their creative thinking skills and according to Dan Pink’s Six Senses for Right-Brain Thinking.<\/p>\n

1. Design:<\/strong>
\nVerbotomy is a design challenge. The very first thing a player is asked to do is invent, or should we say, design a new word. And players get bonus points for words that are engaging, whimsical and humorous.<\/p>\n

2. Story: <\/strong>
\nOnce a player has created a word, they are asked to write a sentence \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a story \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which puts their word in context and reveals it’s meaning.<\/p>\n

3. Symphony:<\/strong>
\nPlayers are challenged is fuse together the conflicting ideas suggested by the definition and present it as a unified entity \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a single word.<\/p>\n

4. Empathy: <\/strong>
\nTo win at Verbotomy, not only do players have to be creative, but players have to understand what will resonate with the other players, so the game rewards empathy.<\/p>\n

5. Play:<\/strong>
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a game. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fun. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s creative play.<\/p>\n

6. Meaning: <\/strong>
\nObviously the game starts with meaning — a definition. However the creative process pushes it to a deeper level, even if it’s appears to be tongue-in-cheek, where players reflect upon their role, and their position, in life.<\/p>\n
