“…Although the majority of the studies used validated and frequently used creativity tests, we also observed that 14 different instruments were used, not all measuring the same construct (Baas and van der Maas, 2015). Standardizing the battery to assess creativity makes it easier to compare research outcomes.…”

“…As these two concepts are considered paramount to the creative thinking process, it should not come as a surprise that well-known tasks of creative thinking focus on these two processes. Notable tasks used for measuring creative thinking, such as the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking [5] (TTCT), the Wallach-Kogan Creativity Test [6] (WKCT), and Guilford's Alternative Uses Task [4](AUT), focus on divergent thinking, whereas the visual and classic Remote Associations Tasks [7,8](RAT) aim to measure associative skills, convergent thinking and insight [9][10][11][12]. The more recently introduced Evaluation of Potential Creativity [13][14][15] (EPoC) battery, includes measures of both divergent and convergent thinking with graphic, numeric and verbal items.…”

“…, O = {+, −, ×, ÷}, and T = 24. However, for x = [3,5,7,9], O = {+, −} and T = 24, finding the correct sequence is pretty straightforward, and requires probably minimal if any creative thinking. An important question then is which Numbers game items require creative thinking to solve and can therefore potentially be used in large scale creativity assessment?…”

Creative thinking is increasingly recognised as an essential ability that should be part of school curricula. Given the move towards online learning and assessment, we investigate whether mathematical creativity can be assessed at-scale in the Numbers game, an arithmetic game in Math Garden, a popular online math practice platform. In the Numbers game, a generalisation of the 24 Game, children are asked to figure out how to compute a target number using basic arithmetic operations and a given set of numbers. We argue that creative thinking is required when the search space is complex, and propose that the base-pattern, i.e., the sequence of the operations needed to solve a Numbers game item, indicates search space complexity. We then demonstrate that items with disordered base-patterns are more likely to require mathematical creativity to figure out. Specifically, our analysis shows that for items with only one solution sequence, those with disordered base-patterns are more difficult and take longer to solve compared to items with ordered base-patterns. For items where multiple solution sequences are possible, nine times out of ten children choose ordered over disordered base-patterns. We conclude that the Numbers game has potential for assessing mathematical creativity at-scale.

“…It must be noted that the measurement of creativity is an unresolved matter (see Said-Metwaly et al, 2018). Thus, mixed results found in the literature may be due to the inconsistency in creativity measures adopted, meaning that not all studies are measuring the same construct (Baas & van der Maas, 2015;Hoogman et al, 2020). Moreover, motivation is thought to affect creativity performance amongst participants with ADHD (Boot et al, 2020).…”

Creativity and Neurodiversity: Towards an Inclusive Creativity Measure for Autism and ADHD

Exploring creativity within the autistic and ADHD community is important as their strengths are often unrecognised in society. The neurodiversity perspective considers autism and ADHD as variations in brain structure and function, leading to experiencing the world differently. It should then, follow that neurodivergent individuals may express creativity differently from standard expectations. However, commonly used creativity measures do not accommodate the different ways in which neurodivergent individuals process and combine external information, thus failing to capture the different and unique presentations of creativity. In light of this, we aimed to develop a novel measure to explore creativity within autistic and ADHD individuals. The sample (N=26) included 3 autistic, 5 autistic+ADHD, 8 ADHD and 10 neurotypical adults. Various methods were used, including: two storytelling tasks, the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis demonstrated different presentations of creativity across groups. Two themes were identified regarding factors which affect creativity in neurodivergent individuals: attention and thinking differently or seeing the world differently. Further, three themes suggested improvements for future creativity tests: time, anxiety and instructions. Findings have implications not only for developing an inclusive creativity measure, but also for designing strengths-based interventions to facilitate creativity in neurodivergent individuals.
