Guildford's Alternative Uses Test

Guildford’s Alternative Uses Test is a psychological assessment that measures someone's creativity by asking them to think of as many different uses as possible for a common object, like a brick or a paperclip. It evaluates divergent thinking—the ability to generate multiple solutions and ideas beyond the obvious. The test scores based on how many unique, creative, and varied uses a person can come up with within a set time. It’s often used in research and clinical settings to understand creative potential and problem-solving skills.
