How creative are you?

[Rasputin]

The Divergent Associations Task test was designed by scientist at Harvard university to test your verbal creativity. This test predicts aptitude for certain promlem solving. This test is the most accurate when you are alert and well rested. And know nothing else about the test.

What did you score?
My score 88.6 / 94.8 percentile
Edit: obviously my memory is not as good as my creativity. My self reported percentile is not accurate. Ha ha!

I might come back to this is a few days, when I am rested.

Good idea.

Score = 81.66/70.83 %ile

Your score is 86.57, higher than 90.02% of the people who have completed this task

This scoring system is weird.
A difference of 4.91 points equals
a difference of 19.19 %ile.

Age or gender must be a factor.
In the first two posts,
@SimonSays got the higher score, but
@Suzette got the higher percentile.

"Your score is 83.98, higher than 81.45% of the people who have completed this task".

The words I used were: iridescent, coherent, meander, frigid, protruding, lackluster, unrequited.

Edit: It's weird - I just did the test again, but this time with simpler and more common words, and my score was higher. I guess the words I used initially didn't have a great enough "distance" between them...

As noted in the edit of my original post, my memory was likely faulty as I had already closed the page when I decided to post the quiz.

Now I am thinking pf this test in a whole new way. I was being serious, and need I say, literal.
This is just for fun.

I found the test somewhat fascinating in its attempts to tie word usage to creativity. I do not consider myself to be particularly clever, but I have found words fascinating since an early age. I would sit for hours with an unabridged dictionary, reading it like it was a novel from infinity and beyond. I was no older than 8 or 9 as I remember.

I do use the English language in a somewhat idiosyncratic way, but does that honestly reflect creativity. Maybe!? I adore writing, I also draw, and have had flirtations with music and contract bridge (I wasted m college years more interested in improving my bridge game than in going to class, studying, or doing homework. What can I say, I am extremely lazy when it comes to certain things).

It was fun and for the record here is my score:
Your score is 91.58, higher than 97.89% of the people who have completed this task
adaptation personality gender infinity constable vagina dipsomaniac
adaptation 0 78 72 100 102 92 106

@Richelle-H That is truly a creative list!

 

[Richelle-H]

Possibly, but then again I did not follow the admonition to take the test when fully rested. I think I have had about 5 1/2 hours sleep in the last 36, plus I take medical marijuana for arthritic pain in my hips and knees, so possibly state of mind has much more to do with creativity than any natural or acquired talent. -chuckle-

Okay, I decided to try the test again, just to check a few things. Oddly, they excluded the first word I entered even though it is a noun, and one of my all-time favorite words. Obviously the algorithm they developed could not fit it within the framework of their reasoning.

Here are the words, in order as I entered them:
SYZYGY, EXTINCTION, MELATONIN,I NITIATION, ASTONISHMENT, TELEMETRY, DELIMITER, ESTUARY,NOMINATION, and
FABRICATION

SO here is the result they produced from that

Your score is 92.32, higher than 98.4% of the people who have completed this task
extinction initiation astonishment telemetry delimiter estuary nomination
extinction 0 75 84 85 89 77 95
initiation 75 0 97 83 96 101 89
astonishment 84 97 0 107 98 95 93
telemetry 85 83 107 0 85 87 106
delimiter 89 96 98 85 0 97 100
estuary 77 101 95 87 97 0 100
nomination 95 89 93 106 100 100 0

As every one of the words in my list is an actual noun, they seemingly cherry-picked the words, classifying two of my words as outside the parameters they specified and I question that entirely.

Also, the second time through I had recently medicated. SO does that mean your brain on drugs is technically more creative. ~snicker~ Just wondering? It is fun to speculate on the need for something like this, for in the end I find their logic somewhat biased.

I must add that I am a tad nonplussed by both of my scores.

I think a good measure of creativity might be how far autosuggest matches what you are actually going to say when writing on your phone
