QUIZ: How Creative Are You?

Kanye? Picasso? You?

CREATIVITY IS THE magic that makes the world a more interesting place.

There are lots of ways creativity can manifest itself – it’s not just about being able to paint a pretty picture, it’s about how your mind works.

Reckon you’re a creative bod? Summon up all your best ideas and let’s find out…

1. Yikes. Panic stations. You've left it to the last minute to get a birthday gift for your other half. What do you do?
Voucher. Always a voucher
The books they've been circling in the Sunday supplements for the past few months
A collage of old photos of you two in a lovely frame
The old reliables: chocolates, fragrance, a nice card
2. You're late for work - AGAIN. What excuse do you pull out of the bag for your boss?
"A zebra was let loose on the M50 and traffic was mad."
"Where was I? Well, I was getting these croissants for you!"
Sneak in and pretend you've been there for ages
"My alarm clock didn't go off."
3. What were you like in school?
A bit of a dreamer
Chatterbox in chief
Ah, stuck the head down and got on with it
When I was actually there, I was okay
4. Pick your favourite room.
5. How would you describe your dress sense?
Hmm... Eclectic is probably the word
Function over fashion
6. Pick a quote to live by.
Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources
Creativity takes courage
The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt
You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have
7. And finally... Which picture do you like the best?

    Actually I opened the article again because I thought there must have been a purpose to it and maybe I had missed it. Turns out there isn’t.

    People have become immune to advertising. Something written in italics at the end is just glossed over.

    I’m a writer but now I’ve been told by a digital marketing company that I lack creativity. This is based on a handful of barely related multiple choice questions. I’m now wasting more of my own time by writing this… the journal needs to f@×k off
