The issue of creative thinking encompasses various contexts, including those about Adversity Quotient students, necessitating further elucidation of the problem to ascertain students' metacognitive levels. This research constitutes a qualitative descriptive exploratory study aimed at delineating the creative thinking process of students, with a focus on students' Adversity Quotient and metacognition levels, as examined through the lens of information processing theories. The study participants were 29 students from the 11th grade of SMA. The research methodology involved administering tests to students, with subsequent analysis of the results utilizing the exploratory descriptive method, wherein the researcher categorized students based on their Adversity Quotient and metacognition levels. Data collection in this study employed instruments in the form of open-ended questions and interview guidelines. Initial test results revealed that seven students could provide comprehensive answers to the questions, nine offered partial responses, and 13 did not respond. Further analysis of the test results indicated that one subject classified as the "climbers" type exhibited the reflective use level of metacognition, one subject of the "campers" type demonstrated the semi-reflective use level of metacognition, and one subject of the "quitters" type displayed the tacit use level of metacognition.
