I know how MNers love to take tests, so

I have just found the divergence association task, which purports to measure creativity. My score was 90 point something 🙂
www.datcreativity.com/task

Hope the link works!

Hmm... It refused to accept 6/10 of my original nouns:

antidisestablishmentarianism
pangolin
ganache
occident
amygdala
gamelan

95.38%, higher than 99.54% of respondents on my second attempt. I am feeling a bit smug now

Viol + establishment was my highest score of 112

It says you shouldn't use technical terms. I rejected some words on the assumption they probably were too technical, but I may have been wrong.

Why are sea and tomato closely connected?
I don't think I have ever included them in the same thought or paragraph.

I managed 96.25

@WhatMattersMost

Every single person's score here has apparently defied the statistics

🤥

It's BS. I literally put in my surroundings like television, sofa, curtain and got 92%.

It wouldn’t accept ‘operation’. That’s a noun!

70.59

It says only the first attempt counts!

Mine: Your score is 92.77, higher than 98.65% of the people who have completed this task

85.06

Highest score was tonsil and tractor

highest combo is zenith & spermicide 106

I'm determined to make it above 100!🤣

It says only the first attempt counts!

Was that for me @ColonelNobbyNobbs? It didn't accept my first list of nouns. Pah! I still feel smug even though it is a load of nonsense

@LunaNorth

It wouldn’t accept ‘operation’. That’s a noun!

it wouldn't accept aglet, which a perfectly reasonable word (the bit at the end of a shoelace). maybe it's a technical word🤨

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It didn't recognise 3 of my words..... maybe I'm not getting it. They must be nouns right? It didn't recognise schwannoma, zoetrope, or crucifer.

Oh I just resubmitted the same and it gave me 94.8. Glitchy!

92.54.

My lowest word combination was combustion and singularity with a score of 81.

My highest was combustion and temptress at 104.

It's a fascinating test, just for the measurements of the distances between words if nothing else.

Canticle and collaborate scored 113

91.85 in total

Oh, it only counted 7 out of my 10 words so hence it accepted the list second time - it just ignored the 3 words it didn't know!

It only takes the first seven words, the other three are used in case one of your words is not a noun or whatever, apparently

Oh sorry, cross posted!

73.22

Slightly below average

I deliberately thought of things form different contexts, but being single words hampered me a bit, eg ballet shoes isn't allowed.

I used chapati as one of mine, that was a very high scorer!

shame it doesn't take it into account that English is my second language.

85.21 for me. Am quite surprised as I'm not creative.

83.51 but my words were an awful lot more pedestrian than most of these!
