Creativity Workout

Assessing Your Creative Potential

Rather than ask you a series of questions and let your answers put you in a little creativity box, we'd like to help you break out of the assessment box with these five points:

First: There isn't any such "thing" as creativity. There isn't some part of your brain called "Creativity Central" that's big in some folks and little in others. Creativity is a complex stew of different ways of thinking, life experiences, perspectives, motivations, talents, life challenges and the world's response to your ideas and efforts. So, if you're human and if you're breathing, you are creative. You may have forgotten how to use your creativity ... you may even have buried it under tons of life rubble. But, it's there and you can relearn how to use it. (For more, see Are You Creative?)

Second: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MEASURE INDIVIDUAL CREATIVE POTENTIAL. Period. Exclamation Point!! Some assessments might give you clues about how you think or how you might like to express your creative potential, but they absolutely cannot measure it.

Third: Everyone has creative potential.

Fourth: Everyone has more creative potential than they will ever use.

Fifth: Everyone can learn to use more of his or her own creative potential ... that's why we're here.

Use some of that creative potential and stimulate new ideas in the Idea Workout Gym
