Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test

Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#52I don't buy it. Seems to measure vocabulary + problem-solving-specific-to-this-question.
I bet plenty of "uncreative" people could easily do well if you just told them to pick specific things from different topics(e.g. an obscure food, an obscure job, etc...), which is all I did and I scored in the top 1%. You don't have to be creative at all to do that. You only have to think of such a strategy, and then pick some obscure things.
Also, there seems to be some cultural bias - it wouldn't accept chow mein, but I bet pizza would have worked.
Also, the instructions seem silly - the more close to "technical" the terms were that I picked, the higher they seemed to score.
Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#53Two observations: 1) people who seem to have gotten the highest scores are not following directions properly (e.g. someone on Twitter who got >98 used decidedly technical terms like "codec", despite clear instructions not to use technical jargon) 2) this seems to measure how extensive your vocabulary is (e.g. obscure noncommon words seem to score much higher than common words, even though the common words may be quit…
One justification for this might be that the greater the number of words in your vocabulary, the more "colors" with which you can paint your linguistic constructs. More complex words can have a subtlety of meaning that distinguishes them from one another, so you can "pack" your sentences with more meaning. The more nuance in a word, the more potential cognitive distance between it and another word. E.g. He had a gree…

I don't see that. What is the cognitive distance between a more common color and a more obscure color? They're both colors. In your example, describing the color as olive instead of just green is certainly more specific, and maybe more accurate, but how is it more creative? If anything, it is less creative because it's more analytical and merely descriptive.
For instance, saying something is '.01 centimeters' long is not more creative than saying something is 'small' or saying that something is '.1 centimeters', it's just more precise.

Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#56I literally just reacted to my surrounding environment, because I’m sound sensitive and I was curious what would happen if I just used what I pick up from my environment. Maybe creative? I was just wondering how the thing works. 90-something% and I didn’t bother to keep a reference. I was actively regurgitating other thoughts expressed around me, but with no intention other than understanding what’s being measured. A…
The rules explicitly say: > Think of the words on your own (e.g., do not just look at objects in your surroundings). I guess technically they don't say to not listen, just to not look.
I would have adopted those rules without being told, but like I said I’m noise sensitive. It was loud, I couldn’t really think anything other than what I was hearing. So I just picked out what felt interesting and riffed on it.

Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#58This isn't really a creativity test. I'd love to see their baseline and how they show this stacking up against other creativity tests.
I've taken real creativity tests before (the ones that movie studios give for entrance to their internship programs). They are hard to grade but I think far more accurate. They have questions like:
- Name as many uses for a brick as possible in 10 minutes.
- You've been told that a scene calls for a visual of water flowing uphill. How do you accomplish this?

#59Judging by the other comments, it is creative to break the rules.

> uses for a brick
unrelated, but how many can you come up with? I’m struggling after only 4 or so uses..
