User:Dhanyavaada/Divergent Association Test (DAT)
The Divergent Associations Test (DAT) published[1] in July 2021 is a psychological test designed to measure a person's creativity. The test is based on a task in which the test person must name ten terms that differ as much as possible from a given term and from each other. Here, the difference between two terms is understood in the semantic sense and is calculated by a special algorithm[2].
The test specifically measures a component of creativity called divergent Thinking, which is the ability to find different solutions to open-ended problems.[3].
