As you may or may not know, I am a psyc major entering my senior year of college. Since I'm trying to graduate with honors, I have to complete a thesis, which consists of running a study of my own and writing it up. My project is an internet-based study on creativity as measured by the Remote Associates Test. This is a pilot study that I'm running now, and I'd really like a large sample so I'm asking you guys for a huge favor.
Here's how you can help:
1) Go to
www.quizcreativity.com and complete the quiz. It only takes around 15 minutes, and it's actually pretty fun/interesting.
2) Rec this post to help get the word out!
3) At the end of the quiz, you're given HTML code that you can use to display your results and/or a link to the quiz site (like the one above). Post this on your Xanga, your Facebook, your Myspace, everything else you use, again so that people find out about it.
4) Tell your friends/family/acquaintances to take the quiz too!
It would be immensely helpful to me if you do any or all of the above, and I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

*Note --If you don't score as high as you expected, don't be discouraged. This is a difficult test, and this version is still in pilot testing (what we're doing now). It may be that the questions are just too hard, in which case I'd have to adjust them after I finish collecting data from this round.
*Also, I am recording the data directly from the site, so if you're not comfortable sharing your results publicly, you don't have to post it in comments. Do let me know if you have any feedback or questions though!

rec'd :)
Apparently I'm only 5% creative?
I'll definitely do it.
I was surprised to get 20%.
35% but i apparently didn't copy it right, couldn't get my banner to show up.
@Paul_Partisan - @jupiter312 - Yay, thanks!
@aznspartan94 - @decembriel - It can be a very difficult test, which is why I'm piloting it first. I'm concerned that the questions are too hard so I may need to adjust them if everybody scores really badly. There's also a lot of debate over the validity of the test, but people keep using it because it's fun, easy, and we don't have much else. Creativity's a tricky thing to measure! Thanks for taking it though, I appreciate it.
40%. How is the score actually calculated?
@jupiter312 - The score is just the percentage of items that you answered correctly. Course, since this is a short version with only 20 questions, that means that the average will probably be a relatively low percentage.
@just_the_average_jane - Oh, okay. Do you see our actual answers or just the percentage? Because I'm pretty sure a few of mine were out in left field!
@jupiter312 - Heh, don't worry about it, I'm really only interested in the score and which items were right/wrong, not the actual responses given. Though I do worry that somebody's going to come up with a really creative answer that wasn't accounted for, but hopefully that won't happen. That's the bad part about this test, it's a bit limited by the test creator's own creativity or lack of.
Ha! fun!
