Development a measurement of creativity by adapting board game mechanics.

Abstract

Creativity is important for economic development and the solution of various problems, including social issues, and has been emphasized in the field of education. Measurement of creativity has long emphasized tests that measure divergent thinking. However, challenges exist in how to measure latent creativity in real life, that is, new interpretations of experiences, actions, and events. In this presentation, we describe the challenges of measurement methods in creativity research to date and propose a new method for measuring creativity using board games. The results of preliminary experiments will be presented and future developments will be discussed.
