Reasoning is necessary but not sufficient in most jobs: one needs original ideas as well. In many cases it is creativity that differentiates the outstanding and the average manager. This version was designed primarily for recent graduates and junior managers. The test is widely used as part of an Assessment Centre. The test measures in a structured way how creative the candidate is when facing problems, and how much they are able find solutions and explanations. Based on the answers of the candidate one can draw inferences about the fluency, diversity, and originality of their ideas. The test is similar to tests of creativity used by psychologists, however, the problems in this test are work-related, therefore performance on the test reflects not creativity in general, but creativity needed in management in particular. The test booklet can be used only once.
