Pitched as a measure of creativity.

> The average score is 78, and most people score between 74 and 82. The lowest score was 24 and the highest was 96 in our published sample. Although the score theoretically ranges from 0 to 200, scores above 100 are extremely unlikely on first attempts. The highest total score we have seen is 109.5. See how other people are performing on Twitter.
> Calculation details
> The score is computed by taking the average semantic distance between each of the words. These distances are computed by measuring how >often the words are used together in similar contexts.
> We use the first seven valid words out of the ten. Using a subset of words allows for some redundancy; you can include up to three invalid words (e.g., misspelled words or words that are too technical) while still receiving an overall score.
> Interpretation
> Creativity is a complex process and this task measures only a sliver of it. The task focuses on verbal creativity and divergent thinking, the ability to generate diverse responses to an open-ended problem. In our research, scores on this task correlate with performance on a range of other creativity measures. The task has its limitations; it measures only one aspect of one type of creativity.
> You can try the task again now that you know how it is scored, but note that only the first score (before seeing the feedback) is valid.
