Context for Creativity

Cre8ng™ Challenge 2000-15

Reading The Creativity Man, biography of E. Paul Torrance by Garnet Miller, sparked this Challenge. I highly recommend the reading of this book if you have an interest in the background and work of E. Paul Torrance, Ph.D.

In Appendix C of The Creativity Man, Garnet lists and explains several of the subset measures from EPT's Creativity Tests. One of them is Creative Strength #4: Put Your Ideas in Context.

This week's Challenge is to practice working and imagining several contexts.
 
a. choose a product or service
b. put it into several unrelated contexts
 

  1. future
  2. past/historic
  3. other culture
  4. other industry
  5. other profession
  6. animate
  7. inanimate
  8. technological
  9. humorous
  10. purely silly or dumb

Your goal is to possibly generate new uses or markets for the product or to discover links to potential solutions for other unrelated products or services.

So go ahead and each day during your 15 minute creative developing exercise time choose randomly some product or service or one you are having to deal with that day and generate ideas based on several different unrelated contexts.

Please share the results of your work.

Have a creative week. Remember being creative is a choice. Yours!
