| Alternative Use Test | |
| To start we are going to test your creative brain power through a little game. For this task, you should write down all the original and creative uses that you can think of for a common item, that you’ll be given. Certainly, there are common, unoriginal ways to use this item; but for this task, write down all the unusual, creative, and uncommon uses you can think of. You’ll have two minutes, and we’ll complete two tasks. | Stimulus items: Pre-Survey Images: a pen and a ping-pong ball. Post-Survey Images: a towel and bottle. 4-week Survey images: a brick and a paperclip. |
