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

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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
