I was curious, so I peeked.

People have been taking the Creative Achievement Questionnaire Quiz. 97, so far. That’s good enough for some results, right?

I didn’t include the original category names, courtesy of Jordan Peterson, because they are cringey.

Are you surprised? I’m not.

The Creative Achievement Questionnaire is set up to get results like this. Lots of people in the “new” category. Very few people in the “genius” categories.

Let’s not talk about the fact that this questionnaire is based solely on other people’s approval of your creativity—which by definition excludes the most innovative and original thinkers.

What strikes me—and I’m no statistician—is that this graph looks like half of a squished-down bell curve.

What would be on the other side—anti-creativity? Whining? Plans with no action?

Maybe that’s where they stick the people who are so innovative that they look insane.

Anyway, I’m still not happy with JP’s questionnaire but I haven’t come up with anything better yet.

How would you measure creativity?
