Creativity is a very in-demand skill…and not only for the design and communication industries. Creativity can be applied to any job in any industry. There are always ways to improve products and services. Workers who think creatively are needed to help a business operate successfully.
I write a lot about creativity on this blog (hence the title), so I was interested when I saw a link on Twitter to a test that shows you how creatively you think. Hat tip to @joshlinkner for sharing this test from the Flanders DC site.
The results of this test are divided into two sections – your personal score on the creativity index and innovation in your work environment. An explanation of the results is also provided. I found the results to be very in line with my personality and my work environment. My only complaint about the test is the five possible answers:
- this is not at all typical of me
- this is not really typical of me
- this is more or less typical of me
- this is pretty typical of me
- this is completely typical of me
I found it difficult to choose between some of the answers that are closely related, such as “not at all typical” and “not really typical”. Regardless, the results were very accurate and I think this is an interesting test. Give it a shot and see if you get the results you expected.
