ABSTRACT
The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination. There should be an honest evaluation of learners' capability for originality before they read any further. In addition, trying these ways of assessing learners' creativity will also help them understand the nature of creativity itself. There are a number of different ways to evaluate creativity, each looking at different aspects of creativity and variants of its definition. These are performance challenges, similar to those developed by early creativity researchers. They are brief, reliable, and inexpensive, and they can help learners' better understand creativity in general and their skill level in particular. The idea is to measure how good learners are at quickly developing a wide range of different answers, how broadly ranging those answers are, how well they make unusual connections, and how the answers are of different types or concepts. The Alternative Uses Test measures learners' capability to develop a lot of ideas.
