2. Identifying 6 thinking hats
2.4. Yellow hat
YELLOW HAT - speculative-positive
Yellow hat represents positive aspects, positive side, hopes and it is in opposition to the black hat. Yellow hat thinking is positive thinking resulting from curiosity, pleasure and desire to make things happen. One can never be certain of the future but based on positive examples from the past one can speculate about the future. Yellow hat extracts a positive interpretation. A deliberate search for anything positive could bring to light aspects that are not obvious at first sight. Also, constructive thinking which leads to effectiveness fits under this category. Yellow hat thinking can be speculative and opportunity seeking but it also permits visions and dreams. Nevertheless, it should be distinct from positive euphoria (red hat) but also from creating new ideas (green hat).
