CREAX Creativity Self-Assessment

[Such Irony]

I found this test on another forum that I thought I'd share here http://www.creax.com/csa/

The average person scores 62.43. I scored 67.41, not as high as I would have liked. So I'm not exceptionally creative but I did score significant higher than average on abstraction and curiosity. I score slightly below average on boldness. Everything else looked to be about average.

When I was near the end of the test, it sent me all the way back to the beginning, for no apparent reason. I was able to hit "back" and carry on from where I left off, but something obviously went wrong because I only got a ten, in spite of putting in tons of answers.

I got 83.50.

 

[KDude]

76.88

 

[Donna Cecilia]

85.40

Highest scores for "boldness" and "paradox".

I've scored higher than average in everything except "connection".

 

[KDude]

I was confused on the Wet/Armadillo question.

Is it really creative to choose connecting words like Texas, Diary, and Laptop?

I could only choose one connecting word, and even that was a stretch. Texas. And it's totally false too. I live in Texas. It has Armadillos, but it's dry as hell. Only wet 10 percent of the time. I could stretch it and just make up something about "laptop" being a connecting word. Perhaps there's a company called Armadillo Laptops - and someone once broke one by getting it wet.

64.83. Not too awesome but I do better with things that I can touch, rather than with just words.
highest scores on boldness, curiosity, and connection.

My problem with the connection part of it was I censored too many of my responses. In some cases, I saw connections or had some hunch that the words were connected somehow but didn't have anything to really substantiate it so I didn't mark it as having a connection. In a couple of cases, the connection was just too weird or absurd, so I left those unmarked too. It's obvious my thinking is stronger than my intuition!

It was a similar sort of thing with those two images where you write down what you see. Especially with that second red and brown one, I'd see these various objects much like a Rorsarch test but then I ended up 'censoring' a bunch of responses. How could there possibly be a monster in that picture? Or a moon? Or a house?

On the uses for a brick part, it was suggested to take one minute or so. It wasn't timed but I was careful not to go over one minute because I wanted my result to be truly authentic. Had I given myself more time, I probably could have gotten a higher score.

I don't like that test.

A lot of the questions seemed to be based upon N/S and P/J differences, which doesn't entirely relate to measuring one's creative abilities. Sensors can be creative as well, as well as Judgers. I feel like creativity cannot really be 'tested' with something like this.

I got 86.42 by the way.

 

[Lady_X]

i got 67.97 that test was crazy.

 

[Vamp]

I liked it. I want to do another like it.

 

[CuriousFeeling]

I wish it had more creativity options other than words and pictures. Needs a music component, and much more examples of art. I got a score of 67.41... highest scores in complexity and persistence. With the word choice thing, the problem was, I wanted to make sense of the word choices. Could afford to have a symbolic thinking component too.

 

[Vamp]

I think it was mainly visual because a lot of creative types are visual.

 

[Thalassa]

Typical: 62.43
Me: 63.02

I'm not entirely sure how to analyze that graph, but it would appear I'm bolder and more persistent than the general population.

I know ...I honestly wonder if people who got really high scores just chose all the "weird" words. Did they really find a connection between Texas and Armadillos with laptops? I was honest.

I also had a hard time maneuvering the sliding scales with my mouse. I found those annoying.

 

[CuriousFeeling]

I retook it because I was feeling much more alert, and I got 83.98. The highest scores were in complexity, persistence, abstraction, and connection.

 

[October Rust]

62.42 But I'm pretty sick right now.. I'll blame that.

Armadillos are common in (west? country areas) Texas. An armadillo's hard back reminds me a laptop's shell. Armadillo <-> Amarillo: wordplay.

Is it really so hard to believe that some people think like that in a daily basis every moment?
Wet isn't that big of a stretch either, wet lands, marsh land, gulf coast. If you want to take the extra steps you could think about the green county in northern Texas, closest the Oklahoma border. Low land floods? Humidity?

Sooo ...there is a method to it. People with high scores are not bluffing or just arbitrarily picking the weirdest answers/cheating and the test is not somehow discriminating against sensors.

Edit: Armadillos tend to move slowly. ..just like my last laptop. My last laptop was black and shiny.

You're quite self-righteous and you kind of lost my respect way back when you got so offended by Edgar.
