Results processing
For each answer "a" you get 3 points; for the answer "b" - 1 point and for the answer "c" - 2 points.
Interpretation of results
23 points or less.Your creative potential, unfortunately, is small. But maybe you just underestimate yourself?
Exercise "Find yourself"
You need to believe in your strengths and knowledge, in your abilities and talent. Believe that there are no untalented people in the world. Every person has the makings of a talent, it just needs to be discovered. In order for this to happen, look for your talent, start various businesses, try yourself in different areas of activity. And you will definitely find your talent, your place, yourself.
From 24 to 28 points.You have a good creative potential, but there are also problems that hinder progress.
Exercise "Understand yourself"
If you want, you will succeed, only for this you need to understand yourself deeper, figure out what attracts you especially, find the area of activity in which you can show your talent to the maximum. Ask yourself the question more often: “Is this my business?”
29 points or more.You have significant creativity. If you can actually apply your abilities, you will achieve great success.
Exercise "Save Your Talent"
You are lucky, because you already know what your talent is and where you can show your abilities. But you have a difficult task ahead of you - to preserve and develop what you have. Therefore, constantly improve your memory, acquire new knowledge, create and invent new things.
Music school and similar institutions. The more specific the list, the better for analysis and selection of options.
Rank the list by likely ability. At the end of the list, place circles or specialties that you definitely do not like. At the beginning, write options for which you are sure that there are some abilities. Place in the areas of activity that you don’t know anything about, but you can see if they would be attractive if they were pursued. Remove anything you don't like from the list. The remaining options are candidates for consideration.
Visit groups for each line of business. Tell the leaders that you will sit quietly and watch what the participants are doing, and then post the impressions on the blog with the address and time of the classes. Not necessarily long articles, a few sentences are enough. This blog will help you remember where you've been and what you've seen. Photos would be nice.
Make a list of attractive destinations. When you have gone around all the circles, select those in which you would like to enroll.
Attend a trial class and make your final choice. For some, modeling from plasticine seems like a tedious task, while others get great pleasure. This is how it happens in every business: someone plays for hours, and the other cannot bring himself to learn the notes. In creativity there is a visible, front, festive, when others admire the results. And there is invisible everyday work, continuous, many attempts, mistakes, tests. If you want to do some work again and again, creative abilities are manifested in this. Therefore, to choose your own business, you need to try attractive destinations to taste.

The fashionable word “creativity” is understood by most people in different ways. Most often, a creative person is equated with a creative person. However, this is not entirely true. So what is creativity and how can you recognize it?
Related videos
Creativity is the ability to create, manifested in creative thinking. Creative abilities can be manifested in the labor activity of a person, products of material or spiritual culture. Creativity implies the ability of a new, original view of creativity. For evaluation, special tests are used.
Instruction
The first creativity tests were developed by J. Gilford. His methodology consists of 4 subtests. Three of the four tests are based on non-verbal stimulus material. One verbal test. All four subtests diagnose abilities within the framework of social intelligence. Social intelligence is responsible for understanding speech, actions, deeds. It also provides recognition of gestures and facial expressions. That is, non-verbal behavior of a person. J. Gilford's test can be used for any age category, starting from 9 years old.
The stimulus material includes a set of 4 test sessions. Each subtest has 12-15 tasks. A person's ability to mental operations is checked in the following areas: visual, semantic, behavioral, symbolic. It is necessary to develop tasks taking into account the fact that different types of results should be obtained as a result. Based on pictorial content - 4. On symbolic and semantic content - 10. The time allotted for each subtest is limited.
To diagnose the level of creativity, the popular method of E. Thorens is often used. Although this is a test not only for creativity, but also for creativity in general. In 1966, E. Torrens grouped 12 tests into scales. The verbal scale assesses verbal creative thinking. On the pictorial - pictorial. By sound - verbal-sound. Verbal battery testing takes 45 minutes. According to the figurative battery - 30 min. This time does not include reading the manual. Also, to conduct a verbal battery, you need an album “Express your ideas with the help of words” and an answer sheet for it. You will need the "Express your ideas with pictures" test book for the pictorial battery. The method of E. Torrance is considered more reliable than the method of J. Gilford.
There is a fairly popular and reliable domestic test for creativity. The technique was developed by N.B. Shumakova. It consists of 3 tasks. It can be used both individually and in a group. Suitable for identifying the level of creative thinking in children after 8 years and adults. First you need to write down information about yourself. After that, you must complete a series of tasks within a certain amount of time. To do this, stock up on colored pencils, a pen, an eraser, glue. You must also have a test book.
The essence of the test is that on the basis of the pasted figure, you need to depict something that other members of the group do not have. Points are awarded for originality. For example, if the answer was found in a larger number of subjects, then 0 points are given for originality.
The difficulty of any test for creativity is that a complete list of the characteristics of such thinking simply does not exist. Therefore, the results of even the most reliable study cannot give a 100% guarantee. In addition, any of the methods requires experience and reliable assimilation of methodological information. Therefore, with the question of diagnosing your own abilities for creative thinking, it is better to contact a specialist.
