This study aims to evaluate the mind mapping material in creativity course syllabus. The test is performed to see the students' convergent-divergent thinking characters. The treatment of the accounting mind map using numerical symbols was given to students before and after the thinking character tests. The test used paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon, and Chi-Square. The test result proves that there is an increase of students' divergent thinking character after given the material of accounting mind map using numerical symbols compared to before treatment.
