Creative Self-Assessment Report

In the first class you completed a creative self-assessment. Its design was informed by the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, which you can learn a little more about in this week’s reading “Defining Creativity Through Assessment.” You completed the self-assessment for two reasons, 1) to reflect upon your personal creativity with the goal of identify potential strengths, areas for improvement, and motivations; and 2) to learn a little more about how scholars conceptualize, measure, and study creativity.
Unlike the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, the self-assessment designed for this course has not undergone rigorous peer review. In other words, the results are not super-rigorous but they do provide a helpful starting point for reflecting upon your creativity and how to improve. The self-assessment designed for this course targets 7 areas related to personal creativity that we’ll continue to explore throughout the semester: originality, fluency, flexibility, play, life-long learning, openness, and confidence.
This report summarizes the output of your self-assessment via a scale of 4 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree). For each competency, you’ll find the average and mode.
