Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test

Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#62Having taken the test and scoring an average 73 or so and then looking at the Twitter high rankings this is definitely rigged against simple terms. Yet the criteria “No specialised vocabulary (e.g., no technical terms)” should rule out a lot of words. Words like moon and elephant will get you an average score but using those words are following the criteria closely. Is it really an accurate test when you can look at…
I scored 90.88 points on my first and only try with the following words: frenzy ghoul protocol concept autocracy hymn nephew screwdriver bail molecule. (Of which only the first seven words are scored when all are valid.) “Autocracy” is arguably the least commonly used word of those. After seeing the resulting scoring matrix, I realized that some of the words were too close to each other like frenzy with ghoul and protocol with concept. There was certainly some kind of priming effect going on when I selected those.
My point is, while the test can certainly be gamed, I don’t think that you need to pick highly unusual words to score high (90+).

#63I 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 o…
Well put. The cultural bias may be approximated by comparing results obtained from English-as-the-mother-language speakers to those produced by people with less and less command of the language.

#65This 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 sc…
> uses for a brick unrelated, but how many can you come up with? I’m struggling after only 4 or so uses..
I got stuck too, which is probably why I never got the internship. :)
Here's some odd ones though:
- Keep a car going by putting it on the accelerator
- Doorstop
- Counterweight
- Stairs for a mouse
Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#66Two 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…
FWIW, I tried a representative word from each category in the Dewey Decimal System and got a significantly below average score. I feel like that should be at least an average spread for concepts, so I agree that it's probably biased toward more obscure words. The restriction on "technical" terms (What even is that?) probably comes from the people running it realizing it's easy to game if you use high-brow words.

I don't think I'm that creative though so I don't trust the results.
Re: Divergent Association Task: Fast creativity test
#69Got above 98th percentile using: microbe, annihilation, annuity, junta, sash, polka, transition, epidermis, tome, token.
