Creativity Test

What is creativity?

Creativity is the ability to find unconventional solutions, think outside the box, and generate new ideas. Creative people are those who can offer something genuinely new — drawing on their creative potential rather than memorized knowledge. In the broadest sense, creativity means using imagination across every area of life, not just business or science.

Creativity is now one of the most sought-after skills in nearly every industry, and HR professionals are paying increasing attention to assessing candidates' creative potential.

How creative are you?

Some people are more naturally inclined to creative thinking than others. But is it actually possible to measure how creative someone is before they encounter real-world problems?

Dr. Frank Williams believed this was possible by assessing four key traits that drive creative ability: curiosity, complexity (an appetite for challenging problems),imagination, and risk-taking. The higher your scores on these scales, the more creative you are and the greater your ability to find an unconventional solution to a complex problem.
