CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - CONTENTS Project Idea Procedure Used - Survey Analysis of the Responses / Feedback Drawbacks of the Procedure used Conclusions SPRING 2010

CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - PROJECT IDEA Creativity levels differ from individual to individual Often guided by the person's background / profession Project classifies individuals based on the survey conducted and draws the appropriate conclusions                                                                     SPRING 2010

CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - SURVEY                                              Responses:                                                                                         - 2D painting                                            - 3D mesh of ropes                                            - DNA                                            - Subatomic Particles                                            - Paper Cut Art SPRING 2010

CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - SURVEY                                          Responses:                                        - Beautiful flower buds and leaves                                          against a blue background                                         - Intersecting Shapes                                                                                                              SPRING 2010

CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - SURVEY                                                  Responses:                                                - Internal Ear Structure                                                - Section View of Entangled                                                   Conical Structures                                                - Rain drops in a pink liquid                                                - Calm and Smooth      SPRING 2010

ANALYSIS OF THE RESPONSES Students from the CS background, who do not have a lot of exposure to art/design often tend to think in the most obvious ways Students from the Math background tend to relate their answers to shapes, numbers, etc Students from the Art / Design / Architecture background think intuitively and hold better imagination and high creativity levels.                                                     SPRING 2010

CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - DRAWBACKS May not be a foolproof procedure Analysis is limited to the questions and answers provided in the survey Sample space may be inadequate SPRING 2010

CREATIVITY ANALYSIS - CONCLUSION Creativity is most certainly shaped by the academic profession / background of an individual Since a person spends almost 12 hours of the day over his work life (profession), his thought process is directed towards his work life This typically constraints the thoughts, imagination and creativity in turn                  SPRING 2010
