Every creative person has a unique signature — a particular blend of expertise, openness, and unconventionality that shapes how they think and work. This test measures yours across twelve archetypes drawn from the science and theory of creativity.

There are no right or wrong answers. Answer honestly, based on who you are — not who you'd like to be.


*Why do you have to name a field? Creativity has some characteristics that generalise across cultural fields, but a lot of creativity is about your knowledge of and attitudes towards a particular field. Albert Einstein is one of the greatest creators in physics. He was also an accomplished violinist—yet he never composed any music of note and was not creative within that field. To produce a relevant Creative Archetypes Profile, he would have to enter "Physics".
