Innovation-Creativity Dimension




Creativity is a  process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts between existing ideas or concepts. Innovation is sparked by a creative nature and along with creativity, it is natural to some and taught  and learned by others. Creativity is measured, taught, and learned in different ways.

This is a small game that helps measure your creative side and your ability to see things that may not be readily obvious, but is easily seen once the right parts of the brain align. Obviously if you do bad or don't get any right this doesn't mean your not creative, it just may mean you might wanna stretch the imagination a bit.
