“Creative IQ test, oh really?” you ask (with a hint of skepticism).

By creative IQ we mean “Imagination Quotient,” the basic habits and practices people exercise that lead to fresh ideas.This test was developed by Tom Monahan, president and head creativity coach at Before & After, Inc., leaders in the applied creativity field. The test has been taken by hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world. The gauges used are modeled after common thinking habits of some of the greatest creative minds throughout history.Take the test for whatever context as you please: your work team, department or your entire company. This is a quick, universal test, with fairly generalized results driven by the answers you provide. There is certainly a margin for error, and exceptions to almost every “rule,” creativeness being as elusive as it is. But there is more method to the madness than most people realize. And the feedback provided for each measure can be extremely valuable, particularly if you’re real in how you answer the questions, have an open mind and are looking to improve your group in this area. This test cannot measure the creativeness of any specific idea, nor does it measure artistic talent.

If you want to save the results and recommendations, YOU MUST PRINT EACH PAGE BEFORE you advance to the next. Like lots of things in life, there’s no turning back. So, give it a shot. What do you have to lose, that is, besides a few limiting thinking habits?
