A Simple Test to Measure Your CreativityHow seemingly random words can reveal your mind.

The Divergent Association Task is a brief assessment of verbal creativity. This simple exercise, which involves listing ten unrelated nouns, measures the semantic distance between your word choices. The greater the distance between your words (like 'sofa' and 'galaxy' versus 'sofa' and 'chair'), the higher your score on creativity and problem-solving scales. It’s a fascinating insight into how our brains make connections and generate novel ideas.
