  • ALTERNATIVE USES TEST FOR CREATIVITY

  • This is a classic creativity test used to measure flexibility of thinking. It provides you with a random object and gives you 2 minutes to come up with as many alternative uses for it as you can.

  • You will be given a common item and you have to generate as many alternative uses of that item as possible within a limited time of 2 mins per item

    Example 1: For the object "brick", responses might include: • Paperweight • Weapon for self-defence • Doorstop • A tool to smash things • A heat retainer for a fireplace • A sculpting material when broken into pieces Example 2: If you were given the item ‘coffee cup’, you might come up with things like: • a small soup bowl • a plant pot for some basil • a scoop for a big barrel of oats • a hat for an elf in a thunder storm • use upside down as a spider trap • a percussion instrument you hit with a drumstick • a template to draw a perfect circle
