Teachers can be the most important feature to expose thinking style in class. This is the implication of Technical and Vocational Education and Training programme which requires the students to be able to think creatively and critically in problem-solving.

This study attempts to investigate teachers’ perception of their thinking style and inventive problem-solving skill.
